GTKY: Job

FutureMrsWright2012

I'm a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in Developmental Pediatrics.... I LOVE my job, and hope to be able to continue in this field until I retire (about 30+ years from now) . Since I love my job so much, I haven't really thought about anything else I would do, but when I was a kid I thought I wanted to be a fashion designer, lol. Now, off to read what everyone else does!

@OceanHutt and @lilliesandvino - Are either of you BCBA's or ABA direct service providers? If so, have you looked West for jobs? I refer kids all of the time for ABA, and there are long waiting lists everywhere because of the shortage of providers!

I'm an In Home Behavioral Therapist and while we don't do strict ABA, we incorporate ABA into our work with our families.  I work under a BCBA and I work as a part of wraparound services. We're not really looking to relocate.....my job is fine enough for now until I find a guidance position. but thank you so much @futuremrswright2012

I sell SaaS software to businesses and own a small company on the side that DH and I run. I love what I do and wouldn't want any other real job (I would love to win the lotto, play with animals all day or some other fantasy job).

What do you do for a living? I work in the BioMedical Research field as a Procurement Specialist.

Do you like it? I love working in a field that tirelessly strives to create life saving medications. I don't love the negative stigma regarding research.

If you could do anything else, what would you pick? Event planner or novelist.

I am a veterinarian. I have always wanted to be one and I enjoy my job immensely.

Nope. I really love working with people struggling with substance abuse/dependence. I can't imagine going into a school now. And my husband has a great job that he doesn't want to leave. Thanks though and keep making MH referrals! It's so important to address issues early.

What do you do for a living? I am a bank teller.

Do you like it? Some days more than others.

If you could do anything else, what would you pick? My dream is to be a successful novelist and a SAHM. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will one day be both!
