What Do You Do For A Living?

[Emma Rose]

I'm just curious what kind of job/career choices emetophobes make.

I work in a cosmetic dental centre as a treatment coordinator.

[turbokinetic]

I always like these type threads. Interesting to see what folks do.

I'm a marine power service engineer. Basically a diesel mechanic, I work on ship's engines and boat's engines.

Im a receptionist at a busy opticians.

[fibigrey]

erm.. I'm a medical assistant. I have worked in treatment facilities, and thankfully no one ever threw up while I was working (I only worked there for about 6 months) but now I work in occupational health (physicals/drug screens, etc for employment) so its alot nicer than being aroun sick people everyday lol..

At the moment, I'm unemployed, but when I'm finished my course, I recently got offered a place in the chorus of a professional opera company. Pretty exciting. If that falls through, I will be teaching music at the place where I learnt, which will be pretty awesome.

[emmalinda]

im a dental nurse. david your job sounds so technical and hard.

[m0ndaymay]

I work in the mental health care field.

[MrParker]

Gigging and Boilermaking

im a dental nurse. david your job sounds so technical and hard.

It's technical, but really not "hard" when you have the specialized knowlege. I truly love what I do. I love being on the water, I love solving problems, I love doing things that make other people happy, I love the travelling lifestyle. It fits me perfectly!

I'm really happy about my last assignment, which was in China. I guess you saw that thread, and the pictures?

I respect your job as a dental nurse, because I would have a difficult time with that. It would make me very uncomfortable seeing people having painful (but necessary) things done to them. I guess it's an empathy thing?

Thanks!
David

I work at Social Security for the government. Emet nightmare with all the germs.

[emmalinda]

yes you went to china! that would of been amazing. im guessing your back home sfaely now? i get to go to sydney for my work sometimes. i also get to go to melbourne soon but i never really get too excited about those places. i only get scared with my job when people decide they want to vomit out of a panic attack or cause they cant stop gagging *-* your job suddenly doesnt sound too bad. lol

I work in a plant nursery currently I'm a student, so it's only a temporary job. I'm studying to be a medical office administrator, and hopefully after that, nursing

[Rebecca85]

I work in a primary school, with young children (at the moment, 4-7 year olds).

[cinque]

I find it fascinating the big range of careers that we have here. I am currently kind of between jobs which is very frustrating. I have noticed quite a few people here are dental nurses or work in dentistry. I know a lot of people are anxious dental patients (me included!) and I think being an emetophobe might be good in that situation because they understand anxiety having experienced it first hand? I find medical things quite fascinating but I was always way too squeamish to get involved in anything medical, and I didn't do any science qualifications either.

[becca44]

Ive had 5 years off looking after my son since birth (ive told everybody already on here but hes Down Syndrome) I really didnt want to leave him with anybody, before that i worked in promotions. When he settled into his new school im going to go to college and train to be a chef, I love cooking and food!

[reganstorm]

[bixzy]

I'm currently unemployed but soon I'm going to start dealing cards at a casino. I'm glad to have a boyfriend that's a pit boss. :P
And I'm also planning on going back to school to finish up my degree in psychology. I either want to work with young (elem-high school) troubled kids or with people with drug and alcohol problems.

[C'est la Vie]

I'm going to UCLA, but on the side to make money I'm working at Coffee Bean in Beverly Hills. Lots of celebrities- fun times! Plus I get discounts- I'm totally okay with that.

[cinque]

I've heard that about LA - that you see famous people wherever you go!! Have you served famous people coffee? I think I'd get ever so starstruck! What do you study at UCLA? xxx

PS Lady Gag Gag - really? I don't like to be nosey but I am quite intruiged? What sort of thing do you do? Like..acting?

[Kristen11]

Wahhh everytime I go to LA I never see famous people

And Lady Gag gag- Im also quite curious what you do in the adult industry!Sounds....interesting.hahaha

[Lady Gag Gag]

I'm not sure it's appropriate to discuss here since there are underage eyes looking on, so if you have questions, maybe it would be best to allow me to .. ahem... escort... you to a private chat?

[cinque]

Okay, I get the picture now!

[emmalinda]

thats fascinating lady gag gag, does your emet ever get in the way of your work?
and i like working with nervous people cause easily empathise with them

[Kristen11]

So your a paid escort? Does it ever get in the way with your emet? Because I know when I feel sick the last thing I want to do is "chill" with my boyfriend.
