Working with children, coaching, fitness instructing, sports instructing, working with children with disabilities, I had a whole career working with kids, I was in the military for 2 years before all that, sz took everything from me, but at least I’ll always have good memories from that time. If I can ever get into another career again it will be streaming on YouTube or twitch.

I was a medical technologist and lab scientist. I used to skip class, so never applied for an internship needed to be certified. I had jobs with bad conditions, so didn’t work in the field too long. I would have been better off doing something easier like being an accountant.

I had a career too. It was called registered nursing. Sza threw a wrench into that whole scenario.

A writer, but as of yet not published. But with sza and household management duties, I don’t get much done.
I’m more a reader at moment.

I was a Stonemason before I developed schizophrenia later in life. I trained for many years until I was at the peak of my career. And then schizophrenia came along and it’s been several years since I worked .

My main career before I got schizophrenia was being in the military.
I’ve also worked a ton of other jobs too, like security, fast food, video store clerk, theater concessions, call center, and file clerk.

Yes, but in my case it wasn’t SZ, it was a spinal injury that tossed a wooden sabot into the figurative machinery of my chef’s career. Every day that I’m not working as a chef still feels like a loss to me. I had just earned my journeyman and red seal right before I lost my career.

I did the same. Home manager for homes with people who have intellectual and physical disabilities. I also loved it but then i got very sick. The stress in the job was pretty high which didn’t help.

I’m definitely struggling with that this month. I wish we weren’t stretched so thin for staffing.

I am a Landscaper
Did go to University, and was a Senior Insight Analyst for a marketing company, but that really drove me into the ground, and I could not cope with it
Originally I was a Landscaper, so I went back to it
Went in a giant circle that lasted for 6 years, but I am back doing the Landscaping, and I love it
So much better being self-employed!

I just do cashier work right now but I’m in school to be an art therapist. Got the calling in the hospital a couple years back and just went for it and haven’t regretted it

I took a bunch of civil engineering classes and made all As (in USA that’s the highest grade) but then everything fell apart. Sad.
