Well, uh, I literally just lost my job today as my company is closing due to financial difficulties, but up to now I have been working as a legal administrator for a small law firm which specialises in Wills, Trusts and Probate work. I was going to be training to learn how to become a Probate Practitioner (deal with someone's estate after they pass away) but now... I have very little idea what I'm gonna be doing! A similar role would be ideal, but they're not easy to come by.

![]() Hey, that's really unusual. Would you tell us more about it like, what kind of personal gains you get from it, as in some kind of inner strenght you find while practicing, a state of equilibria of mind and body, or just a distraction from modern life?

I graduated in Medicine a few years back. Now training in Radiology. It's the specialty that's most aligned towards new technology but I miss the social side of medicine. Most of my day is spent in a room reporting scans. But its a really interesting specialty as you see the weird rare stuff.

Gains? Well, I became more brave and hardy. Before Kendo I did not have a feelling like I can beat somebody, and now I have such a feeling. But it doesn't mean that I can knock out somebody. I still would ran away rather than that. I can't say that I am strong. Kendo is not about strength, it is more about endurance. It definitely make my heart and lungs go stronger ![]() Also Kendo, like any other Japan martial art, changes your mind a little. You start to think what you do, how you treat people and things. Your things, other people's things. Kendo teached me what Respect really is. It also teached me to learn from the different people, even they are not as skilled as I am. And as I teach Kendo to other people, I learn how to explain and teach. And now I have a friends who practice Kendo too, it is very important! And, of course, it is a way of distraction from modern life. ![]() |

I am a bar manager for a high end restaurant. It's ok I guess. I am happiest when we're absolutely slammed and I just get to crank out drinks non-stop. I also get to develop the cocktail menus along with my bartenders, so there's an opportunity for some creativity as well.
It's a physical job so it keeps me in shape, and I get to interact with and entertain people for money, so that's pretty cool. I can't do it long term because I'd either die from exhaustion or kill a bar guest, but the money is great while it lasts. No idea what I'll do next. I've already done the salaried manager thing for restaurants and it's bullshit. Tips or I'm moving to another industry. |

I don't know how things work over there in Germany, but how do you specialise for these two things in particular? Like, here if you want to be a music teacher then you need a degree on music, that is it. If you want to be a teacher in general in schools, then pedagogy. But no such specialization specially including music since that's almost a different area than the other general fields (geography, languages, history, maths, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. which are covered by normal teachers).

![]() On music as a school subject: We study music-education rather than music-performance. So we already focus more on how to teach music and get a little more systematic with the history and different genres. But we also study our regular instruments (which has to include piano) for 6 semesters and learn music-theory, hearing, conducting, etc. Most "full-music-students" like to look down on music-teachers but there are still very talented musicians among us. ![]() Last edited by leoboe; 2018-11-26 at 11:28. |

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Education in Germany seems to be really above / among the highest standards in the world. Math and music is a great choice. If you do compose your own music, I'd very much like to listen it.
![]() I very much enjoy listening to bands that play this genre called "math rock", which are mostly instrumentals. I don't know if this would have any relation to what you do but I figured I'd mention it. Quote:

My love for LBA caused me to become technically adept in order to hack my PSP so I could play LBA on it which led to me creating a PSP website which led to me becoming a rock star UI developer. Thanks LBA and Magic Ball for being my spirit guidance.
