What do you do? SAHM at the moment but on leave from being a SSSO at a primary school (work in the admin office).
How long have you been doing it? 10 years.
How did you get into it? I actually did a TAFE course after high school that was Office Amin/Legal Secretary. Once it was complete i was given the opportunity to volunteer at the primary school while i applied for jobs. Within less than a year i was employed by the primary school.
Do you enjoy it? I have always loved it. It's busy, there is so much variety in a day/week/month and i loved being able to interact with the kids when they came to the Office.
If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? It was never my 'chosen career' but i have loved it. Now that i've been out of the school full time for almost 4 years and been there part-time for a couple of years i'm not sure about going back. Starting to think about studying again and possiblly trying something new. Right now it's only thoughts though...
What do you do? I am a nurse and midwife and student maternal and child health nurse
How long have you been doing it? Have been a nurse for 12 years and a midwife for 8 years
How did you get into it? Always wanted to be a nurse and midwife, picked year 12 subjects that were pre req for nursing and went straight from year 12 to uni for 3 years, then i worked for 3 years as a nurse and did my mid while still working as a nurse and then changed to mid at end of course. MCHN studying currently 1/4 way thru course.
If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? Yes I love working with families and especially love babies, MCHN gives me the avenue to get out of shift work while still working with the groups that I love. I will always do so casual mid work to keep foot in door.
