Whaddaya do for a living?

[HappyGilmore]

I work in a stupid restaurant making milkshakes and washing dishes.  I hate it, but on the other hand, quite like it.  If only for the fact that I know a bit more about business than the manager, but turned the job of manager down cause I didn't wanna do it.  I also like the fact that my job's set right now, cause I'm able to run two stations in a supremely busy restaurant that's making close to $100,000 a week and know things that NO other employee knows how to do.  For example, we have soft serve ice cream machines (like the kind you'd see at McDonald's, Dairy Queen and on the ice cream trucks), and I'm the only person in a group of 50 employees with any knowledge of how they work, how to clean them properly, etc.  The manager doesn't even know.  I get paid accordingly.

I am looking to switch jobs, but it's overall a fun place to work with a bunch of pretty girls to bide my time.  Lots of parties at night too.

I volunteer to work on trains most Saturdays.

My title is Portfolio Administrator for Highline Capital Corp.  But, what with wanting to pay off debts and get to Ireland some day, I also do test scoring for Measured Progress most weeknights, depending on the contracts - standardized test scoring for public school systems all over the country.
I still have the dream of one of my film projects breaking out somehow, and have high hopes that "Oscar Bones" will get some film festival recognition that could lead to more paid media work.  "The Future Belongs to Undead Gods" may be more commercial, so who knows - I'll take it anywhere it comes -

Currently, I work for a automotive recycling center, (junkyard).

I get paid to take cars and trucks apart and not worry on how to put them back together again.best thing I can say is "decent job,decent pay"






as far as the younger generation needing jobs, I worked for wally-mart for ten years,started outta high school. same thing "decent job, decent pay"

[Mr. DS]

I work at a hospital dealing with electronic information systems.   I actually quite like my job. 

[JaseSF]

I work as an offshore crab fisherman. It's one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. I am looking for a new job right now though as the pay has severely decreased over the years. Plus I have an university education and feel I'm wasting a ton of skills working an hard labour job.

[Chainsawmidget]

I work at Toys R Us playing with toys all day... I mean selling.  I sell toys all day.  Yeah.  that's it.

[JJ80]

I'm a Sport Sub-Editor.

[Raffine]

Currently I'm a Communication Officer with the local PD. I answer 911 calls, run warrant checks, process missing persons reports, etc. Probably the strangest call I've taken so far was from a fellow who had a 12 foot alligator show up behind his business.

I've been doing this for about three months and am lovin' it. Next up, I get to learn to dispatch officers in the field.

And I occasionally get paid to toot on my bassoon. Just the other day I was playing in Chippewa Square (where the park bench scenes for FORREST GUMP were filmed!) with some friends and a tourist came up and gave us six bucks!

[LilCerberus]

I'm Absolutely Al, & while collecting SSDI, I'm still doing the talking head routine & holdin' down the ol' info-tainment tent on WRIR 97.3 LPfm, Richmond independent radio, and the city of Richmond's official Emergency Broadcast outlet!

Now, if I could just figure out a way to get paid for it.

[indianasmith]

I teach the wonders of history to 7th thru 12th grade students at a small private school in North Texas.  I also teach U.S. History to students at the local community college in the evenings.  When I am free from the classroom, I raise goats and collect and sell Indian artifacts!
