What's your day job?

[Brunkel]

AND, what college degrees do you have (if applicable).

I have a bachelors in Music Performance and Music Education. I am currently a full-time percussion instructor for a school district teaching grandees 6-12. I've been doing it for 5 years and am super burnt out on the teaching scene. It's tough when your full-time job is also your #1 passion (GTI's are 2nd!). Looking into a career change soon so that I have more time to pursue my own musical endeavors...

I am a Research Scientist at a pain management and antibacterial company. I graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science that merely got my foot in the door with cell culture 10 years ago. I hate working with lab animals, lol.

Been doing it for close to 10 years now, 4 different companies, many different but similar roles and 100% burnt out. But salary and benefits are too good to pass up and with a little one and wife at home here i shall stay for awhile.

I'll agree with the OP, hobbies/passions for me are the worst fields to work in. In HS I was studying computers and pursuing info systems/software engineering and got super burnt out and realized it soon enough to change directions haha. I'm working for VW right now..getting close to that point..but I'm also in school studying medicine.

It's true my career in this bikeshare industry has been destroying my love and passion for cycling

I make ~ maintain the things..... that make the things..... that go into things you buy


Journeyman Tool and Die maker, working on very tight tolerance progressive stamping dies. Can make you want to :mad0259: at times!

I feel what you guys are saying about getting burned out when you do what you have a passion about for a living. I honestly get more joy out figuring out how things work and making them work better than the production side of things
