Describe your career

[Jaron]

We're all mostly older now. What has your career been like?

What kinds of jobs have you had? Which have been your favorite? What is your current direction? 

Did things work out like you wanted them to when you were younger?

I don't want to restrict what people want to share, so these are just some ideas.

In a nutshell: Where did you begin, where are you now, or where do you want to go?

I'll write mine later but I'm late for an appointment. Back in a skip!

Describe my career?  Over.

Ca-reer?

[Admiral Yi]

I've never had a career.  I've had jobs.

[Caliga]

That's classified, son.

I am now the 1%, but it's really not that different from the 5% or the 10%.  The .01% is where the real shit happens.

I was born into a small town and a family without much money thus was unable to do an internship which would have started my career right away.
So I went into exile. Gave up on ever getting a career. But somehow lucked into a job relevant to my career. Albeit in a shit place.

Never had before, but I did formulate a plan when the crisis left me jobless. In a nutshell: a) Become a specialist at something (because that's what I thought the market demanded) and b) get the Hell out of Spain (because conditions were and are abysmal). I found a company where I could fulfil both goals.

I did live in Germany, but I did not become a specialist, after all. Fate intervened and once again I spent much of my time with new technologies, and also as manager and supervisor.

Ironically in failing to fulfil the Plan™ I landed the best job I've ever had, right in my hometown. My current job is unusual in that it requires a generalist, rather than a specialist.
You do need a solid tech background though (in my case industrial computers, robotics, high-powered lasers, building-sized presses, automated assembly and industrial safety).

I've got a great boss, pretty nice co-workers, a very challenging project and tons of shit to learn. A really, really good salary and the chance to make it disgustingly so if I want. I'd say my career is looking up, I guess.

That's classified, son.

You took my line. 

[Monoriu]

I started as an office assistant, and I still am an office assistant.  The end.

[Ed Anger]

Dead.

[Grinning_Colossus]

I sit on my ass all day.

[MadBurgerMaker]

It's pretty obvious things didn't work out how I hoped they would as a kid, because I am still currently without a giant vault full of money I can swim in like Scrooge McDuck.
