No job satisfaction but a good salary and free house.
LOL! You cannot be serious!

I'm a teacher and it makes me profoundly happy and fulfilled. I don't make a lot of money, but I've always been happy with enough to get by.

Good and Godless

I've been a few different things including a horse-trainer, freelance writer and middle-school science teacher, but I now teach at a community college.  I do this only very part time since I have two little girls that demand a lot of love and attention.  I teach college prep (read: remedial) Reading and English to a diverse array of adult students.  It is by far my favorite job so far, maybe because I only do it part time, or maybe because compared to middle schoolers, adult students are generally much more respectful and committed to their education.

I graduated with a degree in finance in 2008, worked for a year at a job that i hated, and went back to school for mechanical engineering spring of 2010. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I graduate, but I'm sure that I like engineering more than I liked finance. I will also be going for my masters in mechanical engineering when I finish my undergrad work.

Well at least you'll have an excellent insight into how to fund/finance anything you invent in due course!
My son did mechanical engineering at Imperial College, worked at McLaren F1 for a summer break, spent his final year in UC Berkley. He's now doing a PhD in 3D ultrasonic imaging at elevated temperatures, he was over presenting his first paper in the US a couple of months ago. Definitly more fun than finance  ;D

I'm training to be an electrician, 'cos there's currently a bit of a glut in the job market for humanities graduates.  After my course, I may either train part-time as a plumber or study a for a PHD (I'm not joking!) 
a minister of religion recently asked me what I felt Richard Dawkins et al were trying to achieve...truth, I answered.  and less bloodshed.

I'm still a sophomore in high school, but I think I am going to apply to William Woods University for their equestrian science program. Then, hopefully I will work as a riding instructor/ trainer. I won't make a whole lot of money, but I absolutely love working with horses. Plus, they have boarding not far off campus so I can take my boy with me. That alone makes me really happy.

Fifteen, almost sixteen in two weeks. Did I not say? hmm. Thought I did....

Sorry, should have specified, I meant my quarter horse gelding, Vinnie. I always call him my boy XD I spend way too much time on horse forums. forgot that boarding has other meanings then horse- related.
