..and do you like it?

I am currently in the Canadian Forces (cue all negative comments, get it out of ya). I work in IT, but switching trades to lineman after the new year. I like it but I would like to look into finding work civi side around 2019. I would like to settle down in MTL, which is impossible given my current job.
 
I work IT for the state of PA

I enjoy it, good pay.
 
Home care Registered Nurse/Case manager. It's pretty cool, good pay, company car, phone, and computer. Set your own schedule and rarely work weekends. Pretty much the opposite of being a nurse in the hospitals

Yeah fuck med/surg.
 
Nurse working with geri-psych patients. Primarily Alzheimer's.

Couldn't ask for a better job. Or worse depending on my day.
 
Sounds like a good gig.
Hospital work is teh suck

I know I couldn't do it, hospital nurses have my respect as they do a tough, often thankless, frequently revolting and totally necessary job.
 
I provide insurance and financial development for Auto Dealerships. Pay and benefits have changed my life, but the stress is killer.

Fuck the nurses, it's the techs who do the hard work! Nurses "help out".
And the nurses are constantly thanked, have insanely high pay, sit around at the desks chatting about their idiot families while real workers are in the trenches, our phones ringing constantly, calls from nurses: " Where are you, room 36 wants ice water!" - get up off your ass, bitch, and trot down there your damned self with some fucking ice water.
*whew*

Where is it you work. My sister in law is an EN in Brisbane and she wipes the bums, sops up the spew, cleans the blood and all that sort of stuff.

She is paid well though, you have that right. The base isn't great but the entitlements list is huge and the penalty rates stack.
 
Glorified babysitter otherwise known as a call centre supervisor. It's not exciting but it pays the bills and opposed to most call centres they treat us great here.

U of M.
It's legit huge on your resume
I could transfer to a lot of other places and make better money than long termers, walking in the door.

MP was my plan A. Turns out, if there's a possibility of being anaphylactic to something, the military won't take you. Who knew!

Working in construction now, while trying to get into the CBSA. Construction isn't bad, I don't dread waking up in the morning, which is great.
 
Right now there's a guy sitting next to me spitting game at a Russian hooker. It's hilarious.
 
I work for a failing paper business but my boss keeps things interesting.
 
Senior plant tech operator at a power plant. Pay and benefits are great. Shift work can be a pita sometimes but I make it work.
 
My buddy moved to Miami and was working as Porn set creative director. He quit because the smell made him sick on a daily basis. He said it was a mixture of the worst smells you can imagine, and it just lingered. Especially with all the extreme back door stuff.
 
I play music but I also work at a bank as a teller.
 
Senior research scientist and university lecturer. Sounds fancier than it is, I literally work with garbage and I made way more money in the private sector. With that being said, I'm as happy as I can be.

The goal one day is to be a tenured prof....I'm going to sleep with so many of my students (jk)

I thought about CBSA for abit. But after seeing a little bit of that show about it (Border Security : Canada) I don't know if thats for me. Turning people down on arrival from enterin a country because of little bullshit things they did 10 years prior. I just don't know if that would be for me.. some guy got turned down from entering Canada because he had pics of grafitti tags on his cellphone and markers in his bag. Obviously the kid is a little stupid, but that seems a little extreme to me.. to bar someone from entering because of that.
