I'm the division manager of a specialized branch of tech support for an accounting software business. We operate in a satellite office, remote from the main hub of the company. I'm responsible for the day to day operations of the call center, the employees, and naturally our clients. All of that is a grand way of stating that I make sure the utilities get paid, and I talk to the clients that are too nasty for my CSR's to handle.

I study mathematics, which is totally cooler than Josh's job.

You are awesome. Anybody who has the audacity to go into the math field is amazing.

I'm a student, who will eventually get a job. I've worked in the summer before, but I plan on getting an actual career. Which one, exactly, is up to debate.

I say what I wanna say, I play how I wanna play.

i have a job working for a non-profit org. working with people with mental disabilities. we are funded through the local government, so the pay is good and we will always have work. never went to college. took many training courses over the past 6 years though.

Ya i work ine the Oil Field....great money, shitty hours( i work 14 12 hour days in a row, then get a week off) but one of the upsides is that i get at least a month off maybe more in the spring for break up(where we cant work because the ground is too soft to move our rig)

I'm in college.

I currently work part-time as a tutor at a local high school.

I used to work for my school's alumni association, asking alums for money, as well as as a research assistant for a grad student, and as library personnel for one of my school's libraries.

The only good thing about it is the Weekley Paychecks.

I'm still in high school, but I managed to get a job organizing sheet music for the school. They used to keep the sheet music in these cardboard boxes, but it got all moldy and the need them replaced. Thing is the sheet music got all mixed together when they put it somewhere else. So I go through boxes, take out the sheet music, enter it into a database, from which I create labels, which I then apply to boxes, into which I place the sheet music. The box goes on a shelf. I'm payed off the books, seeing as I lack working papers, so I don't get taxed. It's really convenient because I can just go there right after my classes are over. And the guy who pays me is pretty laid back, so I can just show up anytime I feel like working.

I'm a full-time university student and part-time employee at a regional clinic. It's all pretty basic clerical work -- I go around the clinic and pick up charge tickets from the different docs, organize said tickets and place them in batches, then enter everything into a database. Not particularly fun, but it's still comfortable and the pay is OK.

I plan on attending law school after graduating. I wasn't even sure what field of law I wanted to practice in, but last semester I found my true calling in constitutional law. Unless you're an appellate judge or a Supreme Court justice, your best bet -- if your interest is in constitutional law -- is to practice appellate litigation. I think it's a fascinating subject, and something related that has bothered me is the methodologies used by Supreme Court justices in deciding cases. There are so many philosophies of law (e.g., literalism, textualism, original intent, stare decisis, etc.) they can cherrypick as justification for their decisions that I think the philosophies are all merely rationalizations for underlying political agendas -- it's no coincidence that liberal justices promote liberal policies and conservative justice advocate conservative policies. It can't be a novel argument, but I've yet to read a piece in a respectable publication point out the obvious.

No really, I'm a bellman at El Conquistador in Puerto Rico, and I also run the stats for the radio broadcast of my local profesional basketball team in Fajardo, PR. Other than that I do whatever comes along.

"...quite possibly the greatest game ever made"

i work at a office, (I'm a 'gopher' ) walk my neighbour's dog (decent pay actually, i walk it with my dogs and i get £28 a week) and deliver about a thousand newspapers a week.

I'm in high school, in fact I'm part of the student council and I don't even KNOW how i have time to work, study and stay on top of my homework.

"I'll live on for you... That will be my penance."

I'm a student on a BTEC Acting course, 1st year. I work with professionals at weekends but that doesn't pay. We're making a short film later this year and a feature after that. Not sure whether I'll be in it or involved in some other aspect. Also, not sure if, after this course, i'll get a 9 - 5 for a year before trying for drama school. Or to try next year anyway. Or to work irregular hours at a theatre or something. Right now I'm working on getting proper sized headshots (none of this 7 by 5 crappy small things) and my resume.

Anything else I've gone for. (Morrisons, Chip Shop, KFC, Burger King, Martins, WHSmith, WoolWorths, Build-A-Bear Factory, the list goes on) Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I guess its cuz my college hours are forever changing. Or maybe I just smell really bad.

Oh! For 2 years 6 months I had a job as a Newspaper Delivery Person. $13 a week for 6 mornings getting up and biking around in all weathers. Days off consisted of Christmas Day and New Years Day. That was it. Winters were particularly tough. Of course, you don't have a Union because they employ children who know nothing about that stuff. I need to sort that out somehow.

ever see that sad sucker outside at The Home Depot loading customers and gathering buggies and lumber carts? that's me. i get paid about as much as a cashier, and considering that next to the freight team at night(and perhaps the people in lumber) i do more physical labor than anyone else, that's BS.

it's not the worst job i've had. i was washing dishes at a barbecue joint downtown for a while. never again.

i dont particularly like my job, but they pay me just enough to keep me around.

I work as an English teacher. Currently I teach middle school and high school in a rural district, but will be moving to St. Louis to teach 6th grade communication arts in Creve Coeur. I really enjoy my job as I get a chance to do something new with my life every day. Also, having summers off is pretty sweet.

I work as a Customer Service Rep for Convergys. Convergys is a company specializing as a client to other companies that need CSR support, currently I act as a support agent for DirecTV. I get free television and work from home. Not to say the job is easy, but DirecTV is actually a great client. My office (therfore a rent portion), my internet, any work related goods, are tax deductible. It's very freaken sweet. I am also applying to the radiological tech position at Chattanooga State, as a graduate from the program, I'll have to pay for TV...but I'll make enough to where my wife can start having kids...

Just graduated from college. Will be starting July 1st full time at a bank as a credit analyst. They're going to train me up to be a commercial loan officer.


I really don't care about my job though, or much of anything. My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me a week ago, and I'm so miserable I've lost interest in just about everything. Just so quickly, and won't give me a second chance to change, which I easily could now that I'm out of college.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

I work at Walmart. Yay.

I didn't go to college, so I'm stuck with a shitastic job. When I'm in my 20's I might consider going though.

Go to college for goodness sake. Even if you don't wind up utilizing what you've learned in any professionalistic way, you'll learn so much that it's worth it otherwsise.

Don't just praise me, Neal and karasuman are both math majors.

To update my status in this thread, I'm going to have a job doing mathematics research at Wabash College for two months this summer.

Well, they too are very cool and courageous! I'm still stuck at school, being a math and literature nerd and all of that. I still can't find a job for the summer...

I was a sniper for the Canadian military but I was discharged due to injury. They still pay me though.

We have a military!? With snipers!? Why was I unaware? Here I thought it was a militia of drunken, beer bottle swinging miscreants that protected us from invasion and threat. Or maybe that's just a Quebec thing. Who knows.

While not working at the Salon, (which I rarely do lately.), I'm usually helping my Dad's home business with things like keeping on top of orders, organizing his schedule and taking care of booking all his trips.

My objective for the summer, at least until I go back to school, is to take a Bar-tending course so I can start putting one of my favorite pass-times to use. Besides, working in a bar just seems appropriate for me, somehow. At least until I'm done with College, heh.

I don't know how to properly quote other people, but yes we do have a military as well some of the world's best snipers. I think the sniping division is the only thing the Canadian military can be proud of as most of my superiors train a majority of American snipers as well.

Yeah, Canada and America are military bed-partners. Together we've made some of the best military achievements. Take a look at the Devil's Brigade for proof.

That sounds so cool. Have you encountered famous bands or people, or is it just one of those entertainment shows at the hotels?
