How Did You Train For Your Job? email this discussion to a friend?

I'm wondering how many people went to college, to a technical school, apprenticed on a job. Which one of the many training possibilities were you part of?

I only graduated high school. Back then a lot of the jobs were administrative, or office work. I had taken business classes, bookkeeping, typing (!), it was not "word Processing" then, and the like. From then on, it was just on-the-job training. I pretty much learned how to operate a computer on my own. I am not technically savvy, but I learn what I need to know. I learned my computer would not blow up if I made a wrong move. That was the most difficult of all!

How about you? How did you train for your line of work?

It's funny if I remember my past. I'm actually went to civil engineering college, usually alumnus of that major should got contractor work or other work related to building structure analysis. But I'm jump in the different track of job, I'm an appraisal consultant now happy in this work I don't need much training, I just learn from my senior because actually in this job I only need to learn simple calculation analysis which is pretty easy compared to the past analysis I learn on college.

So you are multitalented!

May be happy but no, I think it is because my job is pretty simple. When I was in college I used to think harder, analyze complicated structure, and many difficult and boring math. But after graduation I have this job, it's like surprising me, how simple it is. Actually my job right now depends more on intuition, art, and investigation, not heavy analysis.

When I was in high school I took a career training program that started me on my journey. Then, I started college and took four years. My bachelors degree is going through and should come to me within the next month. And, my job also provides me with plenty of training as this week is nothing but long hours of paid training to prepare us for opening next week.

I spent ten years, not including a two year break in the Army, getting a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in physics and worked for 12.5 years in battery development and have been unemployed for 20 years and managing my own investments for which I only have the training of my own experience.
