[U2democrat]

well i'm a student.

but my passion is politics.

my goals:
to be a political consultant and run my own firm with a partner (i already ahve one!)
work on campaigns, first congressional and senatorial, then work my way up to presidential.
after working on a hopefully successful presidential campaign, be the political advisor to the president of the united states (kinda like josh on 'the west wing')

after that, i'll be a political analyst for CNN, and perhaps run for office myself one day.

lofty goals, but i have faith in myself!

archaeology

I'm trained now, so I can say I'm an archaeologist, instead of saying "I'm studying anthropology in order to be an archaeologist" and then have to explain to people what anthro is and how it relates to archaeology.

They always say, "Now what is anthropology again?" Like they USED to know.

 

[ylimeU2]

I'm an assistant manager at a coffee shop. I was working part time and going to school part time, studying sociology at a community college. I'm currently taking time off from that to 1) Save money and 2) look in to schools, finacial aid, scholarships, etc.

Something like that.

I'm a 4th year pharmacy student -

My internship and masters is slowly sneaking up on me... ...but that means I'll graduate in little less than two years!

... but then I'll probably continue to study, so...

 

[Mullen-Girl]

I'm an office manager/school administrator/bookkeeper/accountant/etc/etc.

LOL but my goal is to be a spanish teacher or a translator (will be going back to school next year )

 

[dandy]

fun thread!

i am a former professional student struggling to come to grips with reality outside of academia (scary stuff ). i love school, and would stay in forever if it were practical... i graduated with my law degree last year and i have since been struggling with what direction to go in. my dream is to get into international human rights law, but it's a tough field to break into unless you have a certain level of experience and a hefty bank account to fund the meagrely paid entry level positions. (i learned this the hard way.) i recently figured out a more practical plan and i'm in the process of hitting up law firms who practice employment law (local but still human rights related).

 

[Keocmb]

This is so much fun to read! Ladies, you're such hard workers!

I'm currently a Junior in college majoring in English Literature with a Writing Emphasis and I'm double minoring in Politics and Pre-Law. (No, I don't want to be a teacher or a lawyer.) I work at See's Candies part time.

I'm planning on going on to Grad school in 2006 and getting my masters in Literature or Writing and hopefully going on to the publishing world.

The Politics and Pre-Law thing is for the lobbyist in me.

 

[u2granny]

I teach English as a second language.

 

[verte76]

I'm an artist and a part-time library assistant.

 

[u2bonogirl]

I teach English as a second language.

THAT is noble. i know somebody who does that and its not easy! but definitely rewarding i assume.
all these smart women in law and politics....makes me feel so...i dunno. dull

 

[fah]

I'm a police dispatcher/911 operator and mom to 3 mini fahs.

 

[Schmeg]

Those mini fahs again!

I am an assitant manager at a GapKids store, but at the moment I'm sort of the acting store manager without the title or the raise.

 

[BluRmGrl]

It's a well-rounded group we have here! Keeps things interesting, doesn't it? I'm a licensed Property & Casualty insurance agent - I write auto policies, homeowners, renter's policies, Worker's Comp, general liability policies, etc. etc.

I also work a second job with a friend's company cleaning office buildings 4 nights a week.

 

[caroltheone]

Well, I'm a fiduciary accountant in a law firm, but I always wanted to be an astronaut... (Guess I got a little off course - BAD pun intended. Sorry!)

 

[arw]

I work in the leasing world. It's crazy and I love it!

 

[kmccabe4]

This is my first post ot his site. But I was really excited to see what other U2 nuts do for a living. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. However, I work on an inpatient pscyhiatric unit currently doing mostly casemanagement and crisis management. I am the youngest of my co-workers who constantly ask me about my U2 calender I hang above my desk. A day does not go by without a comment. Anyways, thanks for the fun thread. It's fun to post and not just lurk.

 

[dandy]

[u2bonogirl]

we are certainly a diverse group of people around here. im having a blast hearing about all these smart people whose posts i read all the time. although i will admit that after reading what other people do around here it made me not want to post what i do
