What do you do for a living?

Even though I'm a student, I'm always looking for a way to make extra money to take up some more of my time. I do some freelance writing and I'm interning (not-paid but could potentially lead to a paid position).

I am technician I currently work with dairy products, I am not sure what field I will go in next, but I am thinking about becoming a doctor or a nurse (RN).
When it comes to career choices I am always confused, I did both the sciences and business and so it's very hard to choose.:confused:

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]I work in human resources for a Fortune 100 company that offers financial products and services. I have specialized in several areas of human resources to include: recruiting, training, learning and development, talent acquisition, employee relations, and executive consulting. Until recently, recruiting has been my primary focus. However, this past April I accepted an exciting position within the consulting line of business. Human Resources is definitely my passion and I suspect that this is what I will do for the rest of my life.

HR is also a pretty competitive field. Without an MBA, I have hit the ceiling of my earning potential. At this point, my ability to continue to climb the proverbial corporate ladder is greatly reduced without formal education. So here I am on the fast track to undergrad completion with the goal of entering an MBA program immediately thereafter. Cool [/COLOR][/SIZE]

I know how you feel! I have always been interested and done well in both English and art, but I've always had a hard time deciding which one of those options I want to pursue!
