Just being nosey - what do you work as? Y'all must have great jobs to afford all the lovely Apple products I see in your signatures! ;)

I'm 23, at uni, but work as a management consultant as well - will be doing PT this year to finish my uni degree. Then will start FT in May/June....

I don't know if it's what I want to do - I love the job and the people but the company is struggling at the minute - even though I've been promised all these great incentives (I've already been given a gym membership, an iPhone - which I gave back, and a laptop)...inc. more money, but I just don't see how that can be with the problems they are going through.

I am hoping to do a PT graphic design or photoshop or something along those lines course once I graduate - just an evening class...I want to build my own website....

I have looked into doing a Msc in Economics - dad works in a bank and I'm quite interested in Banking etc.. but I still really don't know

I would also love to own my own business sometimes - but so far I'm short on ideas lol

Atm I'm also learning how to build apps (just self teaching using iTunesU and the web)...I would like to build my own app and my dad keeps recommending that I do also...

Anyway - what do you all do? Do you like it? Do you have a second job? etc?

:)
 
Graduated when I was 21... I'm an RN and I work in Accident and Emergency part time but just gone into my second year of a four year medical degree.

I don't have too much time on my hands and my job can be stressful and have it's bad moment but which job doesn't?

You're right there - this last year I've been full time - working on a laptop 12-14 hours a day, 5-7 days a week - no time for anything - too many stressful deadlines day after day ... that's another problem with the place I work - time management is terrible and we end up working all hours, all days just to meet not even tight deadlines
 
It just sucks how upper management close medical beds and pretty much the whole country is in a bed crisis because people are living longer.

Working in the ED\A&E we get the full pelt of blame for not getting patients to wards on time, it they're in our dept. longer then 4 hours unless we're working on them in resus then the hospital gets fined £4000 aprx a pop.

The NHS is poopie.
 
I graduated from UW-Stout with my degree in mechanical engineering this past May. I currently work for a large paper company designing equipment in autocad. So far the job is decent.

I enjoy it, but do not know where it will take me in the future. I would like to use my skills learned at this large company to work as an engineer/ designer for Harley Davidson.
 
I work for a global 3PL (3rd Party Logistics Service Provider) in the Information Services department. I liaison between business analysts, developers, quality assurance, and production support teams. We build software applications and other tools to track and report on cargo movements. A bunch of other miscellaneous parts to the job, too. It's a good gig.

I've worked a second job off and on for the past three years and recently started a side business doing photography and web services.
 
I own a VW/Audi Shop....in all honesty it used to be cool. However after dealing customers lately I am considering a career in fast food.:D

Word of advice....don't make a hobby a job.
 
I'm a Managing Director of my own company. I love it.

Though - working for yourself is really another world than working for someone.
 
I'm a doctoral level clinical psychologist. Been at it for 40 years, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
I consult at nursing homes, working with the residents.

Of course, since I'm basically an incompetent boob, I'm not qualified to do anything else. :p;)
 
Freelance "Preditor" Producer/Shooter/Editor....LOVE it...make 2x as much as I would as a staffer, get paid to travel while racking up miles, and get to choose when I work and who I work for.
 
everyone here seems to have awesome jobs. I'm a business undergrad. I'd like to work in management information system.

I'm a (beginning this year) college student who hasn't had an "official" job before... I'll probably start working for Subway and begin learning how to create apps in my free time. Yes I realize how sad that is, but hey, I've gotta start somewhere! I wanna keep my eye on this thread and see what everyone else does
 
I graduated in Computer Science with a focus in server side technology, but I am stuck at working in Finance (been working for 8 years), and I hate it.
 
I work at a very small company in the firearms industry, wearing many hats. Busy days, sometimes bordering on crazy, though with flexible hours and quite good money. Moving on sooner rather than later.
 
REALTOR®. I like it. A lot of hard work and long hours sometimes but it's rewarding both emotionally and financially.

Plus by being your own boss you can usually choose your own hours which is a good thing sometimes.

Full time university student, but I have a part time at a database company, doing database building. The job itself isn't particularly fun, but the pay beats other campus jobs and the scheduling is ideal, so it is nice.
 
I'm a key grip for a web based donkey show shot in the San Fernando Valley. I like it.
 
i only do what i love to do , and i love many things , i hate capitalism so i went self employed , i am my own boss no matter what i do and i do quiet a lot of different jobs all under the same roof as a ltd company , never specialise in only one thing , i pay myself the wage i want or need so i'm happy , and most important for me i decide what i need to do and when i need to do it


my advice dont get to ambitious , as then you end up as the total slave of your own business , so stay small and you can walk under the radar of the taxman :D

I'm in charge of fluffer auditions, and, ironically, the job doesn't suck.

Wouldn't acting be better? :)

I've had many different jobs over the years. Been lucky so far! I think that any job has good and bad points. The key it to focus on the positive.
