    well I never had a full time teaching job I thought I was going to start one this fall but I got the equivalent when it comes to pay/benefits but instead of classroom teaching I will be setting up and repairing tech - computers, wifi networks, ipads, smartboards, writeinpads, etc.

    That's pretty cool then. Full time means full pay and a guaranteed salary at the end of the month then.

    In the clearing stands a boxer
    And a fighter by his trade
    And he carries the reminders
    Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
    Or cut him till he cried out
    In his anger and his shame
    "I am leaving, I am leaving"
    But the fighter still remains, mmm mmm

    That's good, did you write it yourself? You should call it "The Boxer".

    I am now studying environmental science in college and I currently work for a crappy grocery store but plan on moving to a better paying job once I get a new car and can actually drive to it.

    What sucks is I left the company I currently work for in the past after about two years working there and starting working on an organic farm. It was the best job I've ever had but it closed suddenly while I was in Europe in September and no one told me until about a month after I came home (though I kind of put two and two together when I couldn't get ahold of anyone who worked there). I returned to my current employer out of necessity, though it's a different store due to me having moved over the summer. It still feels like going back to your ex after dumping them, though. I'm glad to be moving on again soon.

    I am a university student currently studying a Bachelor of Arts (Music and Spanish)/ Bachelor of Education (Secondary). I am thoroughly enjoying it and I start a few hours of placement this year.
    I am also a music tutor (mainly brass instruments and music theory). I also play in a community concert band (bass trombone and sometimes the French horn).

    I work in museums and archives as a cataloguing and database specialist. The nature of the sector means virtually all jobs are project-based, so I'm usually only at a place for a year or two before moving to another project. I have quite a list of museums and archives under my belt!
