What do you do to pay the rent?

[JamesBr]

I've always wanted to set up a booth somewhere and take a poll of what people do for a living. Not what they want to do, not what they're going to school for. What do you DO to earn a paycheck to get by day to day?

Personally, I package tea in a warehouse to be distributed to store all over Canada. It's not glamorous, but it pays the bills.

Student, I get into debt.

My seasonal job just finished, but I will start again in Febuary. I work(ed) for the National Trust. Currently I sign on JSA to pay the rent.

[zen5887]

I'm still living at home, so no rent for me.

I work at a caravan park, I mow and rake and pick stuff up. Its pretty dull but its super easy, so I can't complain.

Next year, or the year before I'll be on my own though.. What will I do then huh? Scary.

This ^

I did used to deliver pizza and work in a shop but it took up too much of my time and I decided that I would rather be poor and have a good degree rather than be a bit better off and have a poor degree.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Just started my first day at work today as a matter of fact.
I'm working at Greggs, a bakers. It does look pretty fun, not as bad as I could have got.

 

[Richter_Kleiss]

I work at a specialty game shop.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to go through the trouble of tracking you down... and telling you not to tell anyone else... and it would be a pain in the ass...

I "used" to be a janitor, before that, a cook. so i think that's good enough for your knowledge...

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Eh, a few oddjobs here and there but nothing real steady.

My last substantial work experience is over three years old and I have no references. No company will actually hire me.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Live at my parents house
No rent but sucks living here.

 

[Estocavio]

I earn money.

In all seriousness, i do contracting work. Mostly technical repair work, which tends to mean fixing minor issues in computers.

 

[blipblop]

I dont pay rent I pay my house mortgage
and I absolutly do the most uninspred uninteresting work for my income.

 

[SimuLord]

Student, I get into debt.

Bingo. Though it'll take all of about a year or two to pay off the student loans once I get into my chosen field.

 

[Chrono212]

Don't pay rent! C:

Srsly though...I do some summer and weekend work as a sailing instructor which pays pretty well since I got a real qualification.

 

[Tukadian]

I'm an Infantryman in the Canadian Army, and I deliver Pizza 2 nights a week in my off-time. The army pays well enough, I just have a lot of debt thanks to ex's.
