General What’s your Job?

[Ali]

I’m a medical student, 4th stage medical student to be exact.

Here is some info about Med school (in Iraq we follow the British system so US guys this is isn’t the same as your med schools systems)

After you complete 12th class in your high school, there’s a ministerial Examination called “Bachaloria” but it’s not the same as Bachelor. Anyway, depending on how well of grades you get from that exam, you can request to join one of the Medical colleges distributed around Iraq’s 18 provinces.

To give an idea of how hard this exam is, there are 7 subjects each has a mark of 100, overall, the 7 marks will be summed and the total number will be divided by 7.

The lowest med school here requires at least 97.
In 2016 I scored 98,5 and requested to join Med school and here I’m today after 3 years, happy that it all went well.

Now, about medical school, it’s very hard, especially if you’re ambitious and want to learn everything, it’s sooooo big if you want to master a branch you’ll need at least 14 years of hard work to do so.

I like internal Medicine, Cardiology in specific, some of my friends wanna be surgeons but I don’t recommend that here in Iraq, cuz it brings you a lot of trouble if an operation goes wrong, the law doesn’t protect you here.


Anyways, what’s your dream job?

I'm a journalist, but my real position is an editor, though I have been deeply involved in so many tiring case of field journalism

I started as an intern, mostly for translating and fields duty because I didn't know anything about journalism back then, as well as an assistant for one of the editors. After 2 years they made me a junior editor, I held that position for couple of months, until I decided to quit since I wanted to rest due to poor health. They didn't let me go though, they gave me some timw off and told to work as a content writer and translator via internet. After I recovered, I got my old position back, and promoted to a full-time editor a year or so later.


About my dream job, actually I wanted to be an ordinary housewife, who owns a farm on our backyard, planting our own veggies and fruits, and also write novels on my leisure times. My original plan was to quit my work after I got married, but…

I didn't hahahaha I really love my job afterall, the wage is pretty good XD

Mediterranean cousine is really really diverse but as someone who lives on it - Black Risotto and Ravioli

Also i worked as a Social Worker for 2 years , i transferred to juvenile section in police few weeks ago

 

[Shottie]

I'm currently unemployed but that's because I moved recently and I didn't want to go back to my "fall back career" as a substitute teacher.
I used to be an Outreach Educator for the Aquarium here. I'm hoping to find a job like that again.
Teaching kids about the ocean and conservation is my passion ? (and basically what my degree is). So I currently volunteer at the Aquarium and keep building my network.

 

[Shion]

I am a Visual Communicator and work with marketing and ecommerce in a car piece's shop. I'm currently studying system developments to grow my web design knowledge and next year I'll start a graduation in either marketing or graphic design.

I'm happy to be doing what I love, so even when tired I'm satisfied with my job :lazylaughplz:

 

[The Fool]

I am with the Health Sector doing Admin mainly but i does branch off to IT/Service Support.

Though surprisingly i never did IT when it was an option in school and never took IT seriously.

My dream job would be Accountancy / Lawyer or IT director or something similar which may never happen but i could see happening possibly or probably latter on in my life.

I work as a curriculum developer for ESL students (English as Second Language). My job entails creating and updating materials that students use to study English, such as e-books, online exercises, etc. I also check students' essays to see if they have good comprehension of instructions.

I work from home, but this is the only perk I have in all this. So now I'm looking for better job opportunities, specifically overseas to get me out of this rut.

As for my dream job, I already had a taste of it, although it's shortlived. I used to write part-time for a local anime magazine. Sadly the publishing house dropped it earlier this year, most likely because of poor sales (but idk much about what happened because the editor won't explain properly). Five years is just too short for me because I enjoyed it a lot.

That's cool man. No wonder why you're kinda posses this strong but pacifying demeanor. U can be a good lawyer.

You switched job?

I am a subject matter expert to fraud and an insurance educator. I dream of becoming a software engineer but I guess at my age, it will be kinda difficult to achieve it as it will require me to study 3 more years.
