Education: Doctor of Optometry

Career: Optometrist

Related: Completely...

Downside: Getting the O.D. locks me into one profession my entire life.... so if 10 yrs down the road i dont want to do it anymore, tough luck.

OK.... i work at Southcentre Optometry... under the food court in Southcentre mall.

Dr. Hesla is the name (not on the wall... yet)

Legally, we are not allowed to advertise anymore than that besides giving out business cards. It is a said to be a conflict of interest between what is in the patients best interest and the best interest of my wallet.

[Ozy_Flame]

Education: BComm in Human Resources, BA in Political Science

Career: Database Administrator, but soon to be a Passport / Customs Officer

Related: The job I have now is more business-oriented, the job I'm about to get is more Poli Sci related, although the Passport / Customs Officer doesn't require any post-secondary education, but I don't care lol

What I Do: Database, database, database...I deal with clients like Imperial and Shell.....I'm just leaving because I can make a bit more with the government for an entry-level position, plus it's more related to what I want to do in life - work for CSIS when I get back from Japan later next year.

[Top Shelf]

Education: Information Technology and Systems Management at Grant MacEwan in Edmonton

Related: Very
What I do: Right now, focusing on Citrix support and admin. Lots of server support, all Microsoft techs, some desktop, not as much anymore. It's too easy to get on the Internet and waste time though!
