Currently in my last semester of college and in May I will be an assistant engineer at a recording studio in NY. 
I don't have much formal education, and I'm currently taking an, uhm, extended break from school (7+ years and counting). So I take whatever jobs come up.
Last was as customer service, and incoming orders, in a call center. Was Ok enough. Some people you laugh with, others you want to murder, slowly, with a rusty spoon. You learn a lot about people...
Next job will probably be at a café where people with various (relatively minor) psychical issues spend some of their day. Some have bigger issues than others, but most of them are people who are well enough to live alone. I worked here before, for a while, and it is an interesting job.

Not exactly for a living, but I am a Teachers Assistant at the Child Development Research Center at the University of North Florida. Pretty much I get to hang out and teach a class of twenty four and five year olds and it is amazing. It's great to go to work to a job you love. Of course, this is just a part-time job while I'm in college but it is fun as anything! I am majoring in Education too, so it's a lot of good experience!

Regional Gnome Monitor? Do you check people's gardens for properly installed gnomes or have I misinterpreted your acronym?
How many neighbourhoods do you have to cover each shift?

Brilliant!!! I hope you're right with the acronym, it sounds much better than my boring sales job

Anyway, I'm a Warranty Administrator. What does that mean? It beasically means when dumb**** builders don't do their job, the hoemowners come back to me, and I have to iron out everything between the two. I'm basically a mediator/concilliator/manipulator. And very good at it, especially sicne I have to use legal jargon and deal with lawyers often too.
I myself control 14 out of 48 states. The most out of my department as of right now, and I double all of my other co-workers work loads... Ain't salary GREAT?!

I am finishing up my high school career, I am currently without a job. I have applied at several local places, but haven't gotten job yet. This summer, when I can commute to Waco (the nearest largest city from here) I will be able to find something to do. In the Fall I will begin a two year college career in which I suspect after that I will move on and begin working in the computer networking field.
So if this thread is still here in a few years, I will update.

Realtor. That's REAL-tor. Not real-TERR, certainly not Real-a-ter.
But no matter how you say it, it's a good business to be in if you know what you're doing. Or at least, that's what I'm told by those who know what they are doing.

Pollster
While not being a full-time Psychology/Catholic Studies student, I do political polls over the phone for a semi famous research institute
I get treated like a telemarketer by the people we poll though
(no doubt being the guy who calls you up at 6pm and asks for "your opinion on a couple of issues facing the nation")
