Adult Escapists: What do you do for a living?

[Bigsmith]

I'm currently in college (In England) studying Computers, BTEC National award System support level 3, second year, and then moving onto Foundation computing at Uni next September.

I work, 10 (ish can very between 9 and 11 depending on how busy it is) hours a week as a KP/ waiter in small cafe in the town over from where I live.

It has been tempting to look for a second job to fit around the times I'm not in college or work, but I need that time to help family and spend time with the Girlfriend.

Edit: Am also looking at picking up some voulenteering work here and there.

Currently I'm a cart pusher at Wal-Mart. I'm doing that to pay for college. I'm studying business, and I'm hoping to start my own business within the next couple of years. I figured studying business would be a good place to start while I figure out what kind of business I actually want to start.

For now I'm still stuck in retail-land >.< But I do also have a freelance social-networking thing on the side. It doesn't rake in a ton of money but it still helps.

U.S. Air Force Security forces, still in training, with not many bills, so i have a bit to spend on whatever

How do you like Lackland? I just got back from there.

not bad, im from texas so im use to the heat, got some friends from BMT here as well, so can be fun at times

I work for a small government agency called the US Air Force. You may or may not have heard of it.
It pays the bills, pisses a few choice people off from time to time, and generally makes me a more well-rounded person. So yea, it's not so bad.. For now :/

I'm an English teacher (or pronounced teaCHAH here) in the land of Starcraft (south korea). This isn't just a gap year thing as I have an ESL teaching certification and a quite a bit of experience. I'm going to get a masters in English to teach college foreign exchange students or look into becoming a therapist as that has been a huge interest of mine.

Everyone here is a student which makes me feel teh suck cos I dropped out of uni.

Don't feel bad mate, I went to a 'proper' college and dropped it after a little more than a year. I loved the place, but it just wasn't where I needed to be. I found a specialized school teaching just what I wanted to learn. Maybe that's an option?

OT: I stock shelves at the biggest liquor store in Jersey, but that's just a job out of necessity. I'm a professionally trained actor by choice, but it's about as easy winning the lottery as making a run at that career, but I'm only 22 so there's time.

I am starring in an Off-Off Broadway musical in Time's Square this January, so I guess that's some ray of hope. I mean, a lot of people never even get that far, right?

I'm a Computer Maintenance Technician/PC Support Specialist... and I'm currently looking for work.

I work at Greggs which is a bakery/food place in the UK. It's okay because money's money.
Looking for another job because they don't have full time hours and they treat the staff like crap a lot of the time. My manager keeps 'forgetting' to pay me the extra work I usually do and it's taking the piss now.
And if I have a proper full time job I can live comfortably when I decide to move away from here.

I'm currently the supervisor for our band office's C@P Site, a public place for people who don't have internet at their houses. I also help out with people's cover letters, resumes and portfolios. I also help out with computer problems. Kind of weird even though I just had my business degree. Couldn't really find a job anything to do with business or accounting.

I work at Target at nights, taking things off of large trucks and stocking them on the shelves. It's great considering my sleep schedule and I'm apparently a top performer which could hopefully lead to a better paying leadership position of some sort. In about 5 years I see myself using vacation days to catch up with the games I'll be buying from Amazon and the store. It's good for now and I have no idea what else I would want to do professionally.

 

[Atlantos]

I'm a Molecular Geneticist. It's academia, so it doesn't pay that well, but I love it and I'd do it for free, so...

Also, I'm discerning for the Catholic Priesthood, so my future gaming budget is looking good, lol.
