What do you do for a job?

[Davey Woo]

I don't have a job and I'm heading to Uni this year.
To get a job around where I live you need experience, and to get experience you need a job.
It's a vicious circle that I unfortunately didn't jump into when I was younger, so I can't get a job now because everyone else has 2-3 more years of experience behind them.

 

[infohippie]

Sysadmin for the research branch of a state government department. I maintain around 25 servers, the local network and it's links to head office, as well as the scientists' computers and some of their field equipment, and the office staff's computers. It's kinda fun, and pays fairly well.

 

[Wondermint13]

I study at the moment.
But I worked in a Night club for 3 years before that and now I'm a part time Doorman during the weekends.
So yeh, Im always used to the night scene

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

[SckizoBoy]

I am a research scientist, working with parasitoid wasps.

You may stay away from me then! Or rather, the lab where I work (chemical entomologist, specialising in Lasius) since about two thirds/half work with Apis.

 

[Snipermanic]

I'm a home shopping picker at a supermarket. So I'm the one that deliberately substitutes your items. No carrots? You can have parsnips, they're almost carrots, they're white.

I hate it.

 

[PhoenixBlade]

I work for jaguar, building cars.
Its not as interesting as it sounds.

 

[__Anarchy__]

[Ixnay1111]

[RiboNucleicAxe]

I work for the Internet! More specifically, Blurtit pay me 2 pence per word to upgrade badly answered questions.

For those who don't know, Blurtit works like Yahoo answers, in that users submit questions and others answer them. Google changed their algorithms to search for quality as well as quantity (Cthulu knows how you program for taste) so all the long but crappy answers have to be improved to keep the sites hit count up.

The long and short of it is I now make a living off browsing for random knowledge on the intertubes!

[RaDeuX]

Working as a valet while I work towards my computer science degree. You better tip me or I'll do burnouts and donuts in your car in the other parking lots...

 

[Zac Smith]

When I start work at 6am, an hour before we open, it's also my job to take delivery of newspapers and magazines and put then out aswell

 

[BringBackBuck]

Accountant by trade, now financial controller for large Aussie company. So I guess I mostly just tell people what to do. Hours are shit, but I get paid lots of money.

 

[Dectomax]

Currently, I'm working with The Royal Navy, as a Royal Marines Commando. The pays not bad, but the work is second to none.

 

[Nostromo]

Violin Maker.

 

[Chucker]

3D Artist & Animator at a small company.

 

[babinro]

I've been a sales/customer service representative for a call center for the last 7 years. I've worked for Checkfree, Qwest, Centurylink and Geeksquad within that role.

I've had the opportunity for advancement with a few months as a quality coach as well as several training classes performed, but my priority is to maintain a part time schedule and so I remain an entry level sales rep. The job isn't amazing, but it is good enough to keep me going back and I'm likely to remain until life forces me to find something new.

 

[GLo Jones]

I'm a warehouse grunt for a supermarket, but in 5 years time I should be teaching English in Korea.
