I am a Stationary Engineer and it would take me 3 week to teach you my trades jargon. It would take 3 month to teach you how to employable. It would take 5 years to be great at this trade.

I don't know what I am. It took two weeks for the lady I replaced to teach me how to look busy and productive. Once she was gone, it took me a month to finally realize I would never have anything to do. I've been doing nothing for a year, and I still haven't figured out what all the files in my file cabinet are for. I do have an impressive collection of very thick binders full of OSHA standards and four different staple removers which I mostly just play with. At some point, I would like a job that has the words "Integral part," in the job description somewhere.

Since im only 17 I work at a pet store. It takes about 2 weeks to learn how to do everything, but I learn something everyday. People are so crazy about their pets you pretty much you have to know tons about everything.

By day, I'm a mild-mannered Starbucks employee...but at night, I throw down my green apron and...
give piano lessons!!
You would think that anyone could figure out how to make coffee, but some people REALLY have trouble with it...
I've been a pianist for twenty years (and I'm twenty-seven years old!)

My Jobs:
1. Waitress - 5 days book training, 5 days floor training (takes longer for some people to learn the food, etc). It's amazing how stressfull being a server can be. Learning to manaage time to be productive is a must, otherwise it is so hard to keep up. People get cranky when they're meal is delayed.
2. Pet Shop employee - 2 weeks - 3 weeks trainging (Progressive training for about 3 months or so). For the most part you learn something new everyday though.
4. Volleyball Coach for teenage girls - 8 years playing + 2 playing/coaching. VERY STRESSFULL JOB. Teenage girls, enough said

Veterinary Technician - student.
It's generally a 6 semester program with 2 full semesters of internship besides. Then you have to take the national and state boards... and to renew your license you must take a certain amount of continuing education classes each year.
Then of course you have to be trained for the procedures at your place of work...2 months I'd say, of this.
It is also possible to specialize now (after your standard certification and a certain number of years of experience) - but these programs are relatively new and are each structured differently.
No matter what you do in this field, you never stop learning..no matter how hard you try!
XhappyX- you're a tattoo artist in NJ? Can you e-mail me?

i am a portfolio manager. it'd take me just a few short months to get you the basic skills but it'd take several lifetimes to master the trade and you'd still be humbled by the market from time to time.

Right now I am a mother (largest job description in the world), and a have a side business of maintaining aquariums, took me about 4yrs to feel confident at my reefkeeping abilities and I am still constantly learning.
Before that I was a zookeeper. 4yrs of college to learn basically nothing about taking care of animals for a living, but necssary I guess. The zoo field is a constant learning environment, some areas take about a month to learn to do, but you need to constantly be researching and learning more about the animals, some area's take 6mo to be qualified at (usually hot areas so you don't end up killing someone).

So, by day, you have to decipher that cryptic coffee language, and then go from that to trying to explain music theory to little ones? You win the prize! :yes: :yes: :yes:
Luckily for me, I don't give lessons to little kids...I teach college students (big kids). Unfortunately, I don't get any of the really talented ones...those go to the tenured profs...I get stuck with the music minors
