He's a money market portfolio manager, I don't do numbers! I'm a social worker so we are opposites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682885 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:13:36 +0000 chopsuey 1682885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682884 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:13:29 +0000 theonewhere 1682884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am actually training to do that right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682870 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:11:29 +0000 mediagirl 1682870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. He does numbers. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682858 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:10:30 +0000 swedishfish 1682858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I have no idea what his job entails exactly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682619 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:08:23 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1682619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H no! I would get myself killed. He deals with high-voltage electricity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682604 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:03:35 +0000 Raindrop 1682604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same educational background so I'm going to say "probably" but there would definitely be a learning curve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682571 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:47:54 +0000 Adira 1682571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we're both software engineers, so it shouldn't be too hard to switch positions. Would just take a little bit to catch up on what each other is working on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682566 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:46:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 1682566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Parts of it, yes. It's very similar to a job we both used to work, so it wouldn't be out of my element. Other parts of it, though, I couldn't (he does a lot of out of the box brainstorming about ways to streamline the business, and is very good at it, something I'm not). </p> <p>I don't know that he could do my job, though. He's great with people, but I have to be meticulous in everything I do, and he doesn't have the patience for that level of organization. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682559 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:40:00 +0000 yerpie110 1682559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, no. He's an engineer and I struggle with basic arithmetic (sad, I know). I'm a psychologist and I think he could do my job pretty well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682557 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:38:52 +0000 sandy 1682557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could not do his job - he works in business development for a hospitalist organization (basically gets contracts with hospitals to employ their physicians)...there is too much specialized knowledge to do the presentations and I hate crunching numbers and hate negotiating contracts.</p> <p>I was an attorney before becoming a SAHM and I always joke that DH should have been a lawyer - he has a killer memory, is so crazy analytical and can just understand/process huge amounts of information and explain it to others....and can convince nearly everyone that he's right. He deals with general counsel all the time and has to stay up to date on health care laws...and his understanding is way beyond my comprehension. If he could get around the licensing issue he could have definitely done my job </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682343 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:10:00 +0000 plantains 1682343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: this is me too.</p> <p>DH is a high school Spanish teacher. I just don't think I could deal with the crazy and stupid without clocking a kid. Plus having to work that hard for rubbish money would drive me insane not to mention constantly having to explain to people that teaching isn't easy... yup, I can safely say it isn't for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682308 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:02:35 +0000 Sofiel 1682308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we'd both have to take some schooling in order to do each other's jobs and really, his just doesn't interest me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682262 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:47:54 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1682262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly, but I hate numbers, and I don't always like negotiating. Also he works in a male-dominated non-family friendly industry. He could do parts of mine, but I don't think he would like all of reading and lots of writing that I have to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1682222 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:37:08 +0000 Rocker2014 1682222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Theoretically probably, but we'd be terrible at each other's jobs! His job is database work at a desk, which requires a lot of sitting still, concentration and focus that I can't do. On the other hand, he could never handle the clients I work with (juvenile corrections) and would probably be fired the first day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1681898 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:02:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1681898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Fronkinzankinsbride: that's so sweet! Sidenote: are you in nursing school right now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1681818 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:44:38 +0000 lilteacherbee 1681818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He teaches 3rd grade and I'm a pre-k teacher. I could do it (I'm licensed pre-k through 6th grade), but I'd really prefer not to. The highest I'd like to go is 1st grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1681804 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:42:16 +0000 Espion 1681804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure intellectually we could, but the length of school and training would impede us from switching jobs tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1681772 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:37:13 +0000 Sapphiresun 1681772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have the same educational training, and I actually applied to his job when I was younger. I think I could be good at it if I had the same on the job training he was given when he started, but certainly couldn't just hop in and start cold. But yes, we have a lot of the same strengths that made me want to do his job.<br /> Could he do my job? Probably, but I think he'd probably be bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/3#post-1681388 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:21:57 +0000 farawayyama 1681388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He currently is a stocker in a warehouse - I used to do that, so I could. In the past he was a geologist, but had to resign because he literally nearly died in the working conditions (the natural ones, not the company). I couldn't do that.</p> <p>I'm in education. He is considering switching to education, so yes, we could do the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681349 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:16:19 +0000 sunny 1681349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but not as well as he does even though we have the same job function. He is very, very good at his job! He could definitely do mine since he is so talented. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681347 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:16:06 +0000 snowjewelz 1681347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: Me either! First of all, I look like a teenager lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681320 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:09:46 +0000 Arden 1681320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His real job, that we're furloughed from? Yes. I do the same job. :P</p> <p>His temporary job to get us through the furlough? Hell no. He works at a concrete plant and it's horrible grunt work. He comes home exhausted, filthy, covered in chemicals... I would quit the first day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681317 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:09:02 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1681317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: haha.

I definitely don't tell him as much as I should how much I appreciate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681291 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:58:30 +0000 lemondrop 1681291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, while we are in the same field and I understand his job- I would lose my license if I tried :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681263 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:51:37 +0000 bunnylove08 1681263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I can, but I wouldnt want to. He supervises a lot of students and from what I hear it is not a fun job to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681253 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:50:26 +0000 SweetiePie 1681253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't do his without going back to school, I don't think.<br /> He could probably do mine but with a lot of training! Definitely not Day 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-do-your-sos-job/page/2#post-1681233 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:47:06 +0000 MrsTiz 1681233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't have the physical strength or the ability to be outside in the heat lol </p>
