Why did you choose the career you're in?

i am an aquaculturist (deals with culturing fish in freshwater), not yet licensed. well.. at first, i chose this because of my mom. She's also an aquaculturist and she got to travel to different places. That's what i liked about her job. Going from places to places. ^__^;; but then, as i was taking the course, i learned to love it. i got interested with the aspect of making new technologies in breeding/culturing fish and even in postharvest and then transferring this technologies to other people. I love doing extension activities, which means going to rural towns, conducting seminars and trainings. ^__^ i previously worked as a community organizer and i got to do a lot of extension activities even if its not entirely about my course.

I am a volunteer firefighter and am in school to get my EMT license to work on the ambulance. honestly being a girl I never even gave firefighting a thought because it is more man orientated ( or so I thought) my friend talked me into going to a meeting with her one night so I went and have been there ever since. I love it, it is one of the best jobs (if you call it that) that I have ever had. I have always wanted to be writer and/or work in the medical field, being a firefighter you get called to so many things that I decided that an EMT would be the job for me. ( and I have written a children's book and it is being published on the net so yes I love my jobs and would not change them ( sorry this is a book lol)

I haven't start my career,I am a student majoring chemistry.My parents hope me to become a scientist.Although I hoped to be a composer before.But now I do hope to be a woman scientist as well as a professor.I don't care much about money.But what I care most is prestige.My friends always say I am a ambitious girl.^_^

I've done several jobs before until I decided to do what I like best. I enjoy wood work as a hobby since I was a young boy. I started my own business in fabricating modular kitchen cabinets and closets. I enjoy it very much and it gives me wonderful sense of satisfaction.

I chose the career that I have now since I still ahven't finished my degree and it's one of the better pay jobs that I can have at the moment. As soon as I finish my degree, I'd find a job that I love and I can enjoy.

Well, I'm not in my dream career... Not yet, anyway. I want to be an attorney for several reasons. For one thing, I grew up poor and I never want to have to live in another slummy part of town. Second, I see a lot of things I want to fix, especially concerning disabled students and women. I didn't want to go to medical or nursing school, but I thought (and still think) that law would be a good medium for me to work with, so to speak (I was once an art student).

Well my parents started a printing company when I was a baby. I never paid any attention growing up. Like I never said I was going to work in the printing when I grow up. Then unfortunate circumstance I started working there. Now I run it. And I love it. I do whatever I want. Have my own hours. It is great. Sometimes a little stress as everything falls on you, but I wouldn't change nothing. Funny how things work out.

Well, i'm a government administrator. I entered as goverment official because i'd choosen a goverment college. Not only for prestige, but also for money, I like my career, and i wish i can do the best at my career

I am Librarian by Profession , done my Master in this field. Actually I feel it is very peaceful environment among the books, I feel ooool and comfort among books, thats why I choose this profession.

it was a chance career. I never thought I'd land this job. I've been doing the same thing for almost three years. It's the easiest job I know, maybe from experience.

Well, I chose my career because of money. Although this is not my first choice but chances made its way.

If there is chance for me to choose my career, my criteria is to have an achievement that I can be proud of. Of course, I wish my career can bring me fortune and fame, but these are not the utmost important points. My ultimate purpose is to get the feeling of being able to control my life's future.

Well since I wasn't born a trust fund baby, nor have I won the lotto....I decided I better get myself a career. I am an ultrasound tech..I scan people's hearts. It is a rewarding, well paid profession...but I'm ready to move on...basically I've seen it all...every disease etc and there comes a point when you can no longer wonder why some people get sick and others don't. I am a creative person and am trying to move myself in that direction...and hey there is always EBAY.

i'm a graduate of political science and was going to study law but then due to financial problems i was forced to work so that i can pursue my studies (i hope..). I'm working now in Verizon as a research analyst (my first job) and it's very fulfilling.. but if given the chance i'd still want to be a lawyer... =(

well the reson i' into this career is because i was influence by national geographic channel. i always love their feature about our marine environment. and because of those shows, i chose to become a marine biologist. in a way, yes, i did choose it because i want to make a difference. and also, marine biology is kindda unique here in our country. there are only few marine biologist here. However, ive been thinking lately of having a shift or change in my career as the work related to marine biology are relatively very few. and i'm having a hard time looking for one. if only i could earn more...
