I did a search and found similar threads, but this one has more specific direction (I think). Sorry if it's too similar.....
I've been studying for the ACT recently because working construction is no fun. I intend to go to school as soon as possible, but I'm still a little uncertain about what it is I want to study.
I was wondering what cool careers are available without requiring drug tests. I'm especially interested in science. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A good amount of schools don't drug test, so if you're thinking of beomcing a teacher, it's all good.

I am branching off towards the automotive careers... You'd get a piss test when you chop a finger off or lose a leg. But not to just have the job.
I want to work for Harley Davidson.. be a tech for them, dunno what exactly yet, but I love em' cycles :D
There's alot, depends mostly on the companies itself. One store might test as another would respect employees privacy of off work lifestyles.

that's one thing I sometimes consider. What about legal records? Would it matter if I've been arrested a couple times?

That's funny, I could of sworn I hear things in the news all the time about so-and-so teacher having previous allegations just being moved to a different school, only to have a repeated episode..
But thats as being a teacher.. so I can't be certain..
I'm interested, any one know?

true story. Back when i went to school we had this one girl who was the punk rocker type mixed with a little goth, BUT she was also the school druggy so to speak, would take anything to get ripped,and she was a slut to boot.
When my son had his parent teacher conferances at his school for his first grade teacher we walked down the hall and I noticed her standing in the hall. She taught in my sons school. Big deal so she was a party girl and a slut 20 years ago. but what kind of educator are you?
Why should the public care if you smoke weed. Hell if they taught todays kids they prolly would too.
As long as your not banging a student(that shit never happened when i went to school,I wish it did i had some hot teachers)
Just go teach and keep your personal life personal any you should be ok.

Most major corporations drug test because they get a cheeper employee insurance rate.

If I were a company, I wouldn't drug test, but I'd give you preference if you smoked it, cause I'd have that question on the application :D

here in florida, a teacher was fired because a "lewd" photo of her appeared on the internet and a student found it.. it was during an occasion, Bike Week, and she flashed the band performing and received beads. However, her titties got her fired.

I've always wanted to work at a nursery to learn how to grow the perfect plants. You know, I just may go along with that. That's what I suggest.

Go find out what you love to so much that you would pay someone to let you do it,Go to school and get to be better than anyone else you know at whatever it is that you love to do,Learn more than anyone about that subject to the point that is a passion. The money will follow!
On that note start your own business...you being the boss, wadda gonna do,Test yourself? I think not

I see a lot of new jobs in the environmental area popping up soon. That could be the way to go in the future.

Yes! Then you can be just like me! :D
Environmental chemistry is a good field... you can feel all warm and fuzzy about saving the world, and still afford to feed yourself.
Also look into turf grass management... golf course greenskeepers are the biggest bunch of stoners out there, and make reasonable money.

^smarty pants, :)
I would suggest anything that interests you, but go into business for yourself (unless you plan on testing yourself, Ha ha!)....take business courses first (which can be usually used in most fields anyways), then when you have found what you want to do most take that....get a grant from the gov, and start you business! Good Luck in whatever you do!

I got a friend whos getting a job at porsche, and I have a friend who already works at honda, and I can tell you that they do indeed drugtest to get hired at a place dude. Hell, a guy that i know through the dude that works at honda left out the drain plug when he was changing the oil, and they drug tested him :D

If you have real good social skills, I would go into sales, like real estate or something. A good sales person can make over 100k a year.
