I am an IT Engineer, worked at one of the biggest IT consulting (IT&S) companies. worst part is, i am unemployed atm.
 
I am a teacher, but currently unemployed at the moment. Once I move back to Europe with my hubby then I will be a housewife and do some tutoring on the side, inchAllah
 
I'm a civil engineer now. My choice wasn't easy. It took some time. At first I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer, then an RAF fighter, then I wanted to become a neuroscientist, then an evolutionary biologist, then a mechanical engineer and finally a civil engineer. It's an amazing profession if you really like having landmarks all over the place that have your fingerprint on them. But it requires a lot of work and responsibility. I think what you should do is do whatever your heart desires. If you like banking and finance, do it. If you like something else, do that. Don't be forced into an option you don't really want, because then your career life will be a nightmare.
 
Worked as a Paralegal and studied law at the same time (stressful). The firm closed down and now I am studying a degree in mathematics.

I am currently volunteering at a charity shop as an assistant manager. I deal with stock management, recruitment and banking. Sometimes, I'm called at the front to deal with difficult customers and train employees/volunteers to use the till correctly. It is something to do whilst looking for work.

Not sure what to do once I finish my degree in mathematics.
 
Finished my graduation.......I belong to two categories simultaneously from above poll
Being a girl I have some restriction in choosing type of profession.I have chosen a profession in which I was not interested but slowly ,I started liking it.I am happy with that.

You dont know how interesting an IT engineer's job is, do you? :/:
 
^ No. I used to work at IBM and we used to support British Petroleum's IT infrastructure. So I had to deal with other systems engineers from BP and other consulting companies regarding any server outages and resolve the issues. I also did application support and undertook service requests...:hmm: It was going smoothly...then something happened and it triggered me to leave the job. :( Khair Alhamdulillah.
 
^ Thanks for the response. I might go into IT once I finish my degree. I'm sick of dealing with customers, so rude and demanding at times.
 
sales assistant i dont enjoy it at all, always rude to me even when im polite and helpful
 
guys sorry to go a bit off topic perhaps this might even desereve its own thread but the very first few posts on this forum were about a person wanting to leave banking so as not to deal with interest as it is haram...

I am particularly concerened since I am a finance major student my self and the type of job prospects that I am like to get (inshallah) are revolve around banking (investment banking), financial planning, financial analyst etc. all of which have inherited in it some sort of aspect of interest, or risk etc. It makes me very pessimestic when hearing this that even if your not paying/receiving interest your self, its haram to facilitate the use of interest or give advice to people (non- muslims who don't care about usuary) about alternative financing options and which interest rates would be best suitable for them or how much they should borrow etc...

If the statement that the first person made, which is "i dont want to work in banking as they deal with interest" then pretty much every other job out there in the world should be haram, and it doesn't matter which industry or which aspect of the business you work in because any business now a day stays afloat by borrowing to meet cash flow needs and stay up with their operations or with any excess cash they posses, they invest it in order to earn a rate of interest, and hence paying a rate of interest or receiving it the company is therefor engaged in a haram act and there fore making your employment with such a company haram as well.correct?
 
I'm an editor. (facepalm) Some people try and push their own agendas in their written articles, and do it cleverly. Learning to read in-between the lines and reading intent is the fun part.

However, at this moment - I am unemployed. Subhan-Allah.
