Firefighter/EMT part-time. Trying to get hired on full-time salary. Hopefully will be doing that in 5 years.
Love the job, just gotta find a way to get paid more for it.
I think most people know what I do but I used to work with kids in residential treatment and detention for about 12 years. I can relate to the shit smearing and those sorts of things.

Hey Skip my mom use to do that! She got sick of going under "investigation" everytime she had to do her job, or yell at a kid and tell them to "shut up". She said the males had it worse, since it was co ed, since some of the girls learned anytime staff was mean "they would file a sexual harrasment report"! These kids were all from Dept. of Probation, and she said a time came when the staff had no rights, and the minors had all the rights.
A couple observations about this thread:
1. The douches on PM don't ever respond to these "what is your career" type of threads. Hmmm....
2. Everyone who does respond seems to have a pretty decent job even if they don't like it that much and would rather be doing something else.
3. There would be more responses if you offered the option: stay at home and do nothing while my wife works and pays the bills.
