    LP - since you are a people person and love music, I think you would be great as a personal assistant for a musician/singer. Being a waitress calls for someone who can deal with all kinds of personalities and is a quick thinker/problem solver. Now we just need to find the musician! Male?

    I actually have some personal assistant experience. Worked for a couple of rich businessmen when I lived in Los Angeles a few years ago. I'd LOVE to work for a musician but getting "in" would probably be hard without knowing someone connected to them!!

    This thread has been really interesting to read. I am a newly qualified primary school teacher so I am currently looking for my first full-time teaching job. Eventually I would like to either get more involved in literacy promotion, or perhaps lecturing... but I want to get a few years of teaching under my belt first and see how it goes. I have always written creatively so, if I'm honest, it's a big dream of mine to get something published.

    Before this, I taught as a volunteer secondary school teacher for a year in rural South Africa, worked front of house at a West End theatre in London (lots of fun!), worked as a cashier in a supermarket and worked as a Social Care Worker in a home for eight male adults with learning disabilities and Autism. I spent four years there and learnt so much, but it was never a forever job. It has left me with a real interest in Special Educational Needs, though.

    Yes Troub, as I recall you had a few interesting stories to tell about your job with the theatre. They're here somewhere...

    You know I wish you the best of luck in your new career and whatever lies ahead for you. I would read anything of yours!

    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    And I remember hearing a few rather hair raising stories from the care home. You did a great job there and I'm sure when you get a teaching post (which we all have every confidence that you will) that you will do a superb job. They will be lucky children!

    Troub, I wish you the best of luck. Teaching is a very rewarding career.
    I went to college for Animal Science Technology. I worked as a Veterinary Technician until I had children. I stayed home with them until my youngest went to school. I then taught Preschool for 9 years. Now I work in a fragrance house making samples such as candles, body wash, laundry detergent, etc. The only reason I left the preschool is because it was closing. Sad to say what I do now pays much better.
