Was just talking to another Sablawi about this subject...there are some interesting people around here, and I think work is a big part of a person's identity. So...what do you do? Would you share, even if it's just in a general way?

And, as a lot of members are students etc., so that you can join in...if you're not already working, what do you intend to do next? Don't just say "I'm at college"...tell us instead "I am studying to be a lawyer and want to work in human rights" or "I am training to be a chemical engineer" etc.

OK?! Yalla, who's first?

How about you go first?

studying Finance

will hopefully work in a research department in a finance company :)

I am a hairstylist, I don't work steadily now, because my youngest is still not of school age but I accept a few close friends and clients in my home just to keep me busy and not lose touch with the trade.

Next October I'll be going out to work again when she starts school. Hopefully I'll look into a managing position, which is what I'd been doing for the last 5 years of my working life, 4 of them in my own salon and 1 managing a 5 star (Radisson) hotel's salon.

I am currently an intern research and evaluation analyst at the ministry of social development in NZ.

And am also doing a Software Engineering degree at uni...not quite sure what am gonna do after uni though but I'll be a programmer somewhere lol

OK Cosme, you next then :p

Thanks Fungus and Penny for diving straight in!

I wasn't going to start Cosme because it's a bit of a long answer...the short version is "I do almost anything at the moment"! I left me previous career last year, with the intention of doing some political and media consultancy for an Arab government. That has been slow to happen, although I still help them out here and there. In the mean time, I'm doing some similar work for private companies, including some in Oman, and also some business development work in the region. And at other times, I'm involved in a little photography and design business with my friend Mr Grasshopper (he's the pro photographer though, not me). So there you go.

lol@ sablawis and fungus.....

I'm at my last year at school...Hopefully I'll manage to catch up with a nuclear engineering degree or a chemical engineering degree and then become...an engineer.

I'm currently at uni studying Chemical and Process Engineering. I have 3.5 years to go and i'm planning on specializing in either the business or financial side of Chemical Engineering. After i'm done, i plan to work for a couple of years and get some experience. I also hope to obtain a phd in Mathematics, since i have great interest in that subject.

I work in a bank, where I deal with the Premier people and meet thier quiries, as in customer service...and hopefully by this year inshallah, will be a manager :) *crossing fingers* :D

I'm currently in my 3rd year of Law school. I'm not sure what I want to specialise in once I'm done, but I do have an idea. It's either Corporate Law or International Law. It's okay, I still have a semester to decide :rolleyes:

I'm a Graphic Designer obviously. :)

Here is mine: started with: 3 years Arabic literature teacher > my own private nursery (so far 5 years) > MSc Project management (almost done) > Soon will start MSc Chemical engineering.

OK Cosme, you next then :p

It's a deal.

I'm currently working in research at one of the United States' original comprehensive cancer centers. The main project I'm working on has to do with cancer prevention in HIV/AIDS positive individuals.

I will most likely continue with my current position for another year or so but I hope to enter law school in the Fall of 2009.

I read the law, which gets difficult and tough at times. I am currently trying to dismantle a book on 'shariah law, authority and women' into making it more understandable and simple as part of my academic research. God help. :os

^
Sounds tough! Goodluck on that. :)

I'm studying to be a leader.

Im a Secretary but i have planned to study in College in sha allah very soon
