I'm working towards a Phd and writing a biography - not much money in either

I'm also 'Mum' to a husband, four all but grown up kids, three dachshunds, a whippet and, lately, my Mum and Dad.

I'm a Special needs Teaching Assistant in Secondary School working with a class of 15 pupils, love it should have done it years ago

Also an Irlens Screener and qualified to teach children with Dyslexia :thumbsup:

Hello, I worked for many years with racehorses and yearlings but for the last 9 years I have worked as a veterinary receptionist.

Thats where my love affair with sighthounds began when I took home a stray lurcher, since then I have had a greyhound x whippet and a ped whippet which is why I can't afford not to work at the vets with all the stitch up's etc.

Linda.

Occasional gravedigger/ coffin bearer, hedgelayer (when unlucky), but mainly I do building conservation/ elements of stonemasonry (not time served tho'), so as a trade, get to be treated with suspicion by many , robbed by a few :angry: and forever confronted by course/ internet experts who know my job better than I do :clown: .

On the upside, I like the job itself, and you see some amazing things from a top the scaffold. Working in villages means footpaths and lunchtime walks for fly too

Scientist .... Look for signs of early onset dementia in HIV and drug user brains (after they are dead). Also deal with forensic brains after sudden deaths.

Does that mean i'm not a people person?

Oh I know one of those!

I did some work fairly recently with a young guy who had Irlens - I'd never heard of it before I met him - his support person is a screener

 

[kilmousk]

Nice (w00t) :blink: :x

You are deffo a people person IMO because without you doing that gory job we'd have no-one making scientific discoveries to help our living brains

Cheers for that :cheers:

 

[~Sarah~]

I have done a variety of things over the years:

Worked in bank when I left school (a bit boring).

Worked for a vet for a number of years (lovely job - should have stayed there but not enough money at the time).

Worked as a secretary for the NHS.

Qualified as an Occupational Therapist as a mature student (great being back at college for 3 years aged 40+) and then worked as an OT for the NHS (very stressful). :sweating:

Left OT in 2000 when I needed more time and energy to look after my Mum, so did temp secretarial work.

Stopped work over 3 years ago when we decided to build a new house (never again :- " ).

OH is retired, but I am not retirement age yet :lol: so wonder if I should go back to work, but I do love being at home with the dogs. :huggles:

 

[Zephyr]

I was a veterinary nurse for ten years, then temped as a medical secretary while we set up our own family business running a marina and a restaurant. :thumbsup:

Since having the children I have done the business accounts from home, but am now also doing a degree in Acupuncture so that when I qualify I can do something really worth while. I am loving the course, but there is so much work, I find I can hardly come on here these days, and shows will be very few and far between! Still I always make sure I make time for Zephyr and the family :huggles:

 

[Nicky Co.]

I do admin work for a medical school. I quite like my job but am doing an OU degree in my 'spare' time as I've love to do something biology related eventually.

 

[dagsquall]

I clean oil spills.
