Message: <blockquote data-quote="mhacdebhandia" data-source="post: 1909926" data-attributes="member: 18832">I made the decision this year to walk away from a Master of Arts in studies in religion - not because I'm afraid it won't lead anywhere, but because I'm burned out on research after a few very tough years following a nasty breakup.(Though I'm back with that same girl; I'd say I've learned nothing, but that would be flippant. She's very different.)So as it stands, I have a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English and history with Honours in studies in religion. I currently work for my parents, who run a small but growing veterinary pharmaceutical company; the job involves mostly repetitive tasks like labelling, overseeing the machine which fills bottles with tablets or putting tubes of ointment in trays, but the upside is that I sit at a desk with a computer and occupy my eyes with the Intarweb while my hands work.Previously, I've worked for a supermarket filling the dairy cases and at one of Sydney's Unfriendly Local Gaming Stores. I was also trained for a job at a service station (gas station for the Yanqui hordes), which would have been excellent since at the time my family was living across the street from it, but they never called me to give me shifts.My immediate goals are twofold: saving up for a trip to California to see my girlfriend, and finding a more satisfying job on my return. Ideally, I'd love to work in a field like publishing - I read extremely fast and would be an excellent proofreader/copy editor/whatever. I'd also probably enjoy the job even if I wasn't working on books that I'd want to read myself. I have an extremely high tolerance for boredom as long as my brain is actually occupied.So if anyone knows of any opportunities for an office job in publishing or a similar field in Sydney, let me know. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Research, whatever.</blockquote>
