Year 7 to 9 is kind of like the equivalent to middle school here in the states right? Those are some tough cookies ...I could never teach teenagers . 

I teach pre-K so that’s 4-5 year olds :) 

 

It is tough. Now I'm in Special Needs and they're easier in many ways. Not so much disrespect for some reason.

I'm a library manager. I am NOT a librarian. I do not have the qualification.

 

People struggle to understand this.

Ace teachers unite! :D I am a high school (secondary) biology teacher. I'm also a doctoral student because I don't like people so I'd prefer to find an office to work from. :P

I currently have quite the jigsaw puzzle of jobs, though that will be easing back after the summer, when I'll be a full-time college student again (this summer I'm only taking two classes, so half time). I'm an online community manager for a girls' website (~5 hours a week); I'm staff at the student food pantry at my university (~13-17 hours a week); I'm a web content assistant, also for my university (~8 hours a week); I'm an IT lab attendant (~6 hours a week), also at the university; and I babysit here and there.

 

I'm nowhere near the point of having a long-term, full-time career, though.

Like a branch manager?  

 

I have an MLIS degree, but at times feel it's a bit over-rated. There are some 'big picture' things I learned at school, but where I work I think the majority of our library assistants do not have the degree and yet their years of experience has given them a very grasp of vision, procedures, how best to help people, etc.

 

(My bias is that many industries could do a better job of mentoring and educating employees, taking more entry level people and training them rather than relying on young people to go to post-secondary ed for things they often don't use or need)

Yep I manage 2 branches. I take care of staffing, rotas, building maintenance, IT issues, and customer service.

 

There are several library assistants across our borough who never got any further than the old O-Level system (the older ones). Yet they are very good at what they do.

 

I am unusual in that I have an archaeology degree (for all the good it's done me) and therefore went onto university. Only a handful of our library staff ever did but they have good empathy and customer service skills and a vast well of useful knowledge.

Sometimes I think about becoming a lab tech in a school so I'm not constantly surrounded by kids.

I work as a data entry clerk, though I'm being trained to also be more of an assistant to the accountant where I work (that means that I get to be in charge when she's not there! :D

 

I also volunteer doing computer outreach work, and I'm a student part-time.

I was a math tutor hired by a college for around a year, but then I got very ill. It took a couple of years, but as of last month, I finally got my disability approval. You could argue that being disabled is my full-time job. This week alone I've spent six to eight hours each day at medical appointments.
