Worked in nuclear power, had 3 kids, worked in nuclear power, worked in education for 10 years, moved far far from home at 55, worked in aerospace at Wallops Island, Va for 10 years, became a master gardener, bred shelties before big move for 22 years, now I garden and chicken, at 75.

As the title says… where do you work!? You don’t have to say the exact company or anything like that… just the field/type is fine for anonymity sake. Or whatever you’d prefer. I just thought this might be an interesting thread. Especially since I’m trying to get ideas on where to work myself.

I thought about applying to the pet store, feed stores, and/or the movies but now I’m not sure. Now I’m thinking about maybe applying to a doggie daycare and/or boarding facility. It seems fun but possibly quite stressful so idk. Does anybody have experience with any of these types of places???? That would be great if you do but if not just say where/what you do for work.

Thanks!!!

I'm a credit risk manager for a credit union. I worked for a vet at around 18 but I'm 35 now and in the financial industry. Working at the vet made me less of an animal lover so I had to step away.

I’ve heard similar stories about the vet industry before which is really sad but understandable. Your new job sounds cool

I love my job now. But seeing the way dumb animal owners didn't care for their pets right then leading to bad behaviors in the animal. Then causing the owner to put the animal to sleep was awful when the bad behaviors were caused by the owner.

Now I deal with people not understanding why their cars are repossessed after 3 months of no payments lol. Much 3asier to deal with than the sad little animals.

That must’ve been really hard
