    This is so interesting to read!! 

    I'm a full time law student. I'm currently in my third year, doing a double degree – BA / LLB, and trying to complete my Diploma in Chinese (Mandarin) at the same time. I work part time in a law firm, doing clerkship stuff and I referee soccer on the weekends. 

    If I only have games on in the afternoon I'll also help out and work in the local soccer club's canteen. 

    So I'm pretty busy…. haha!

    boy oh boy…what a diverse crowd. it's lovely!

    well, I am sort of on a path of discovery, if I may be so cliche https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif.

    i got my bachelors in psychology, my masters in international relations and have been moving from job to job trying to find my "calling". haha.

    i worked as a project manager for a communications company, a small medium enterprise, and now I am a freelance english trainer for adult professionals in Belgium. I like teaching, but it's not something I can see myself doing and continuing in the future. And I am getting extremely tired of Belgium!!! I would LOVE to start my own company (I don't even know in what field) or to be a dance instructor but I just don't have the guts to just go for it….I'm still young so maybe it's ok if I stay confused for a while longer… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif (by the way, any advice would be reallllyyyy appreciated)

    It really is amazing to see the fabulous jobs that everyone has. Can't believe the wide range of careers that we have on here!

    I have a masters degree in music and am a qualified secondary music teacher, currently doing supply work due to living in Germany. However I am also a professional musician, and am part of the T.A. or reservist army, both as a musician and as an 'amphibious engineer' – meaning I drive big wagons into water where they turn into boats. It's cool! 😀

    This is quite a cool thread.  I hadn't read that anyone else was in the dentistry field other than GiedreB.  I'm a dental technologist working as a splint tech in the ortho lab of my city's largest dental lab.  I make dental appliances all day.  Though I really enjoy what I do, pay is poop and my company is also poop.  If I could find another great lab to work at that paid me more, I think it would be my dream job and I would happily be sitting there making appliances 5 days a week for the rest of my life until I want to retire.

    Oh my god, I can’t even get over this thread. EVERYONE IS SO COOL!! Seriously, Tina Fey was right. Bitches get stuff done!

    When I started poling I was working on my undergraduate degree in Philosophy. After I graduated, I worked for two years as a pole instructor with some bartending on the side.

    On the professional side, I landed a major gig as a free-lance Technical Editor when I was 19 doing an awesome project for the state of NY. I have worked on and off in writing and editing ever since. Most recently, I helped develop a state high school system’s comprehensive test prep programs for AP classes.

    And this year I start law school at Northern Illinois which I’m sure will nearly kill me. But hey. 🙂

    Architect 🙂 Although I work as an architect only for one year.. I used to work as a 2D animator on a weekly animated TV show for 5 years. So yes, I'm an architect that knows how to make cartoons 🙂

    I have two dogs (both used to be strays – one of them is 3 legged :), so most of my free time i spend taking care for my dogs (or other abandoned stray puppies that need to be adopted)… and of course whenever I have time for these past 4 months- I'm poling 🙂  

     

    Nice topic by the way.. we no longer look like pole fricks 🙂

    What a variety. So many of you are really educated!
    I’ve been a licensed nurse for ten years. Working in skilled/long term care, family med, urgent care, acute inpatient psych for kids, and now I am at a retirement community in my town. I have the best job ever, my residents & coworkers are great.
    All my coworkers know I pole, a few of tem have poled with me and a bunch came to a local performance. I don’t share pole with my residents, they are mostly in their 80’s & 90’s and might not understand it. I have no problem with people’s perception of pole, but I do need my residents to be comfortable with me as their nurse.
    However, they’ll all get to see me on an aerial hoop this weekend at our anniversary party. Gonna be kinda weird to share a different side if myself with my residents.

    I'm my 3rd year of college, in the Fire Protection Technician program. I also have taken EMT, but for work I'm stuck at a clerk/checker at a grocery store. The economy hasn't been in my favor and its been awful difficult to get a job. Literally any extra cash I get goes straight to pole, and if I can't afford it you'll most likely find me at the local parks entertaining passerbys and children who think I can do the impossible.

    Right now I am Care Giver for a company called Home Instead. I am a certified massage therapist, but since I moved to California I haven’t done anything with it. And I just got my associates degree for Psychology and will be working on my BA in Psychology starting this month. My goal is to be a Forensic Psychologist. 🙂

    I am a graduate student in physics trying to decide on a research topic.  I love particle physics and astrophysics, but I also want to make a good paycheck and stay near my parents.  I am thinking of doing nanotech since there is a lot of materials research in the area.  I also teach freshman physics and I am a program manager.
