Advice/Help Career Advice : A Thread To Help Us All Write Careers Realistically

[rae2nerdy]

So I've seen a few of these thread before. Tutorial - Advice from a Nurse or Experiences - Ask A Counselor.

But I thought it would be fun to have a thread where folks can give advice on just occupations.

You want to roleplay a zookeeper or a army sergeant or a stay at home mom. Maybe there is someone on the site who can give you advice.

To make this organized ( I'm a librarian and I love me some organization ) I'm gonna break out the columns below. One for people asking for advice and once for people offering up their expertise.

Feel free to post either in the thread below.

Careers rae2nerdy - librarian
sukaithemoonlord774 - college student
Coward - microbiologist

Advice Search rae2nerdy - zoo keeper
sukaithemoonlord774 - radio industry
Coward - logistics jobs

AdrianS
Career : Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Case Manager
Experience: 2 (plus the 4 years undergrad, 3 years grad school)
Type Of Settings: A sex-offender treatment clinic, a csp (community service provider) working with a schizophrenia diagnosis
Fun Fact About My Job: There's so much more paperwork than you'd think, trust me. Counselors are different from social workers which are different from psychiatrists, so if you need any clarification on the differences or a lot of the day to day processes of this work, I'd be happy to help!

Arion

Career: Amateur Crime Researcher (Noncertified)/Military Hardware Researcher (Noncertified)

Type of Settings: The basement of my fuckin' house.

Fun Facts:

In the famous case involving the murderer Casey Anthony, she waited a month before telling her parents about the fact that her child died, then lied to the police, saying: "Zanny the nanny had kidnapped her child.". In reality the three year old was dead, laying in a ditch behind her grandparents house.

I have no friends. I've also listened through many a true crime podcast, sadly i'm not certified, however i do know how to make a great Beef Ball Pho.
