Takara_Soong 4 Posted January 15, 2005 I've been a legal secretary for about 7 years now. Some advice for you TM. There are two types of lawyers - ones that recognize the importance and contributions of their secretaries and ones who think they are better than their secretaries because they have initials after their name. A secretary can save your butt more times than you can count if you treat him/her well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yillara Skye 1 Posted January 16, 2005 I was a gymnastics instructor/choreographer for 5 years. Until a traumatic injury left me partially but, permanently disabled. I was out of work completely for a year as I was seeking medical treatments and therapy for my bad arm(I also have a medical condition that was caused by the injury as well). So I am now working in the fast food industry, with my mom, sister and a very good friend of mine(whom I met when he began working there not too long after I began). This helps definately in paying bills and helping me continue in school I graduated from college with an AA in 2000, to transfer to university. But illness made it so I had to withdraw in 2002. I am now back at school getting an AS in Chemical Technologies. And finishing a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies(Chem, Bio and Physics). I hope to do research and development. I highly enjoy working in laboratories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xenexian 2 Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) I'm an audio production engineer, (a ten dollar phrase for recording engineer) and producer for a broadcast post production house specializing in audio for radio and tv. I've also taught audio production and recording techniques, as well as managing the house theater at a techinical college for three years. I've been doing this now for well over 27 years and it never gets boring and it sure beats office or factory work. I was also, at one time, a radio personality (dj) in my earlier days before realizing that there is no job security in radio and left for the happier confines of a control room.
