| I think it would be helpful to analize the current employment outlook rather than job satisfaction. You can also share your experiences. Thank you! |

Currently work as a book-keeper/tax accountant. I can't see myself keeping on this same career path in the future though (Lawd knows what I'll pursue when I quit accounting.....maybe an I.T career??)

Once I'm done with college, I want to either go into marketing or design custom homes.

| I've been a pharmacy tech for quite a few years but I'm now also a student so that I can hopefully escape to a more suitable job. Dealing with the public is too much for me. |

I wasn't sure where to put mine: I'm a technical writer for an engineering firm, but I'm certainly not an engineer. Since I write about software packages (for engineering currently) I put myself down for Information systems, but that isn't really accurate either. Just like always: I don't fit in. Yeah. Get out the violins.

I do voluntary work which I really enjoy and I can just come and go when I please.
Certain jobs would be too much pressure or too demanding for me like catering or working in a supermarket. |

Funny most votes (up to now) are either in computers or unemployed. As I always say, if you're not good at computers, you'd better not be an Aspie.

I do janitorial/custodian work. Specifically I'm assigned floors, so I guess I'm a floor technician.

| I work for a telecommunications company odly enough. In a way it's forced me to talk to a lot of strangers daily. The work is quite dull after 9 years though. |

Home-unschooling mother of one 8 year old boy, paid with accommodation, food, general expenses, and 20€ a week pocket money.
I couldn't vote; there isn't an option that fits.
Two other kinds of job I've had that wouldn't fit either; farming/seasonal fruit picking, and catering/kitchen/restaurant work.
Nor another job, that I had for 3 years, in a library.

I work at a warehouse, where I get to drive Forklift trucks weighting 4.5 metric tonns.
