I graduated May 00 from Monmouth University with a Communications degree in pr/journalism...
I'm working now at a really small pr firm (3 people) out of my boss's house. I'm an Account Executive, but that doesn't mean shit...cuz all I really ever do is answer phones, do my boss's travel plans, update media lists and do media mailings. Unfortunately, I do not do as much writing as I should and I'm highly unprepared to take on the same position at another agency because we don't do necessary work that most other agencies are supposed to do (but at least I don't have to do pitch media calls) Our accounts are food accounts, I work for a couple barbecue grill manufacturers, the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, and Pickle Packers International (yeah, it's fucking hysterical)
But I'm bored out of my fucking mind because I'm never really challenged...but I have no fucking clue what I want to do with my life. So why leave here now when I make really good cash? Of course,. I would love to work in some way with the music industry but no job there is stable and I hate doing publicity for stars....
It's cool to slack off and do nothing, but this job will soon take away all my drive and ambition.....

I currently work for a law firm in lower Manhattan, in the accounting department. I have a Bachelor's in Accounting, though I origonally started as a Comp Sci Major. Then, I got disenchanted by many of the comp sci professors that I got while in school (CUNY College of Staten Island) plus it took me 10 years to get out of the damn school with a degree (I took off time left and right for a seemingly unending amount of personal reasons) so I shifted my gears towards a business degree, and settled on accounting. I like the field, but I hate the bookkeeping part (because that's all I've done for the last 4 1/2 years). I need a change, but honestly I want to go back to a comp sci field. Unfortunately, the job market for IT professionals sucks major ass right now, and people I knwo are getting laid off or are on the cusp of being laid off - so I'm a little scared of going to school part time to bust my ass and really learn the field only to find out it wasn't worth it. Right now I know a lot more about computers than say 2 years ago, but that's mostly due to trial-and-error learning.
I make a decent salary - between myself and the wife we do OK (she's a NYC public school teacher), but we want to get a house and she's looking to have a mini-goatweed, therefore I can see many more expenses on the horizon. So basically, I'm at somewhat of a crossroads. Where I work now, there really is no room for advancement and the pay - while decent - doesn't exactly increase by leaps and bounds. I really enjoy working with computers (hardware and software), moreso than working with ledger books, but I would hate to throw away all the accounting education - so I'm looking for a way to merge the two, if that makes any sense.
I also shoot amateur female bisexual porno movies in my living room on the side. If any woman here has ever thought of being in one (or knows any woman who has) feel free to get a message to me. It's more of a hobby, but I approach it like a second job
No way. I would rather be a Clerk in a convenience store and have to work on my day off before I would consider taking a job like that. Besides, I'd be pissed off at the fact that all the animals were getting off more than I was.
Anything's better than working in a shitty video store where the cutomers use elaborate ruses to try to catch you off guard and ask for ridiculous videos like "Happy Scrappy Hero Pup" while I'm trying to place a smut order.

The greatest experience you could ever hope to have. Best of luck getting in (I'm saying that sincerely). You'll love it and be very prepared for whatever the business world throws at you.
I'm a nothing. A jobless nothing full of self loathing. When you can easily listen to radio for 1/3 of a day you know what a nothing you are. I have no major and no possible exciting career to look forward to. I'm also a Mod on this site.
I'm a full time student at Pace, majoring in Criminal Justice. I work part time in as an office assistant for a social services agency that provides supportive housing as well as a referral service to the mentally ill with a history of homelessness. I want to go into probation and parole after I graduate (need my Masters to do this) and then possibly go to law school.
Oh no we took it back to far
Only love can save us now.....
