No profession, student...

Maintain two websites which keeps me busy enough.....don't have any formal degrees in computer technology, so everything I have learned was the hard way and am still learning the technology....

Over 10 years ago our son designed and maintained the two websites, his career was taking his time so he said you now have the job, all I was capable of doing was sending emails!

I'm the one who should feel old...I'm a stay at home mom who now has an empty nest cause the youngest flew the coop. I've been a *student* my whole life in that I love learning. I've picked up web design and now my husband and I have our own business building computers. My job now is Vice President. I'm the one who has to design the web site since he's still working his other job as an engineer.

Those of you on this thread who said you don't have a profession, that you are *JUST* a student...sorry, that IS a profession for now. Until you graduate, that IS YOUR profession! There is NOTHING wrong with being a student. Liz

**starsunited** · 11-19-2004, 01:21 AM

yeah true really nothing wrong with being a student. actually being a student then gd u knoe. ur time is flexible. u can plan your own projects within a certain deadline that is not unreasonable. you dun haf to slog like working adults who have to worry about what they spent. when ur a student, you spent all ur allwance, there is still ur family to give you some. being a student allows to be close with your friends. when you grow up, you have more things to do and it's just hard to stay in touch. i tell you something being a student is better than those wrking adults

I'm 32 and have been married for 9+ years. I own and operate SearchBliss.com, but my profession is actually in the fine arts. My degree is from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. I show and sell my work in galeries and museums when I can. SearchBliss actually started as a hobbie.

Hi!

I am a grrrl Friday with a firm of trade mark attorneys - it's a tiny firm - just the 3 attorneys and me. It's a good varied job in a great rural location (I work in a converted barn with a great view across the fields and pheasants wandering around the place). Basically, I do everything - from answering the phones to creating and maintaining their website and handling the IT and I learn something new every day!

Ultimate plan - learn enough about programming to quit working for other people and work for myself, emigrate to Australia and become a skydive instructor.
