I'm an elementary school teacher. I work a lot and bring too much of it home with me; in fact i'm supposed to be working right now! I think i will eventually end up going back to school and either take some buisness courses or something like interior design or textile design.

Not in school right now. I'm a big believer in continuing education, though, so I hope soon to be in a position where I can audit classes now and then. There's a chance I might do a certificate program or another advanced degree, but that's far enough down the road so it's an open question. I always want to keep learning in some way, though.

In college, I majored in Psychology and minored in English Literature. Then I did some (non-degree) coursework at a seminary. I went to a different divinity school for my M.Div.

So yeah, I'm a pastor now. :)

I'm working and going to school at the same time. I work at a recreation center for families (ice rink, pool, gym, etc). I'm majoring in Web Technologies at a local community college and will later transfer to get a B.S. in Computer Science.

I work 50 hrs a week as a nanny and attend school full time. I am currently studying English writing and Psychology. I hope to eventually get my doctrate in clinical psychology.
Yikes, that's a lot of nanny-ing! How many families do you work for?

I've been in school nonstop. Now I'm transferring back to my hometown and this semester I'm not enrolled. Looking frantically for any work but it seems like there is zero opportunity in a rural town. Frustrating but I won't give up!!

Back to school this summer and full-time in the fall! :cool:

I just earned an AA in psychology and will be transferring to a University this fall to begin working on a BA. I may get a temporary job between now and then to save up some money or I may take some more classes and focus on some other personal goals.
