Well i am a computer technician, at the age of 22
i have always wanted to do what i am doing now (except for about 2 years when i wanted to be an astronaut) I like where i work, in fact i am at work now. The only thing that i hate about my current job is the fact that i leave at the end of the month to move up north to be with my partner. How i got the job was, i did a few weeks of work experience back in 2003 for the next while after i left school i worked in the vineyards for two years, i was a supervisor where i worked, then because of a back injury i had to stop work for four months in 2006 i walked in again and said do you guys have a job open, i had a chat with the boss, and i got the job. I am currently running the IT dept. by my self at the moment because my work mate has gone to japan for a 5 week holiday and he only left last week. So I like my job.
thank you VERY much for your reply. i hope more people reply. i just find it fascinating to hear about other people's lives.

Hi.. I'm 18years old student and for living I'm just not doing some extra
I'm studying at school some miles from my flat and I just need money for traveling here. But I have good school and they just pay you for going to school and they pay more if you are going to works as helping worker. But for living Im doing only what my mum say to me because she is paying for living, then I must do everything what she say. I love my living but now I have girl and live is too different as it was when I haven't got her. 
I do accounting from home for a USA small business (a friend of the owner)...just part time...tho he is selling up soon, so am just getting into mlm again, did this years ago and enjoyed the whole concept....wasnt hugely lucrative but gave me a decent wage

I'm working on a tech support center for a networking company. That's actually all I do to earn money, as of this moment. An interesting job where you get to interact with people from different parts of the world. Most of which, are in there worst shape. (Shouting and cursing on a non-working product but really is working and was just messed up. Sometimes, though, it really is not working.) It's fun. And I get to learn a lot about computers.
By the way, I'm a chemistry major and graduated about a year and half ago. Got sick of chemicals so I plunged myself into computers to learn something new. In the next months, maybe, I'll start pursuing chemistry back. Life is work. So, it's best to work on something you enjoy.
well my name is Andrei. Im Rumanian , ived imigrated in spain like 3 years ago , ived sttudied here for 2 years and now i work at a company thats related with web design. i do sites .
I like alot my job , ived teached this alone starting with photoshop and up up up . Now i run couple of sites and its more a hobby for me . im 19 years and get older QUOTE(Zinrgy @ Oct 2 2007, 09:58 PM) i am interested to know what people do for a living and how they got to the position they are in? also if they have any regrets or ... I am an onsite tech specialist. I love what I do and am very good at it, at least that is what everybody tells me. One catch about all of this though is I am self-employed which is very stressful. Where I live at there is no other choice. You are either self-employed or not employed. Doing what I do has a tremendous catch 22. Either you are doing well or not at all it seems. Right now I am going through a very hard time do to recent life circumstances. To do what I do I feel it is better to be working for a company where you know what kind of paycheck you are going to receive is. But the benefits are you do not have someone looking over your shoulder and the income can be unlimited if things play right.

Haha...wow. I feel so...inadequate. 0_0;
20...from Arkansas. Currently I'm unemployed, but I've worked many odd jobs. My most current was Gamestop and before that I was a telemarketer. I don't actually HAVE to work right now as I get to go to college for free and my mom is still kind enough to feed me and give me a place to stay. I really only work when I want/need something and don't want to ask my mom for it; I'm content-ish to be broke right now. I'm actually looking for a job right now to help finance a study abroad trip to New Zealand; it'll be the first part of my final year as an undergrad in college. After that I'm off to SUNY Brockport to get my master's in English. I hope to publish a novel somewhere in the next year and a half, maybe get a book deal. All I've ever wanted to do with my life is write. So I guess I have no regrets with what little I've done. *shrugs*  Post Note: MadDog...love your siggy.
Interesting. A lot of computer related jobs, (which I guess is no surprise really). So I thought I'd throw something different into the mix...
I'm 38, and up until last year, I was an aborist for 15 years. I used to get paid to travel all over outback Queensland, Australia to climb trees around power lines and cut them down. Ive 4 wheel driven in so many places where the nearest homesteads were over 100 kilometres away, only going home on most weekends. Usually staying in small town pubs, or camping out. Basically I just loved the adrenaline factor, knowing that if you screwed up, at best youd start a bushfire, at worst, someone would die. So you didnt screw up.  Theres no-one to help you out there. I was only cut by a chainsaw twice during my whole career, and luckily both were managable, although a bloke did hit me in my helmet once and destroyed it... Glad I was wearing it. But theres nothing like being 100 or more foot in the air, tied to your tree, just gazing out over hundreds of miles of land till it just hazes out. Bliss. My mate got bit by a snake once (taipan, google it ),and was all but dead by the time we got to the nearest hospital with antivenom, nearly 200 k's away. Correct first aid saved his life. In our spare time, we got to fish and get yabbies, (freshwater crayfish), in streams and billabongs that no-one had even layed eyes on for 50 years or more. Explored and climbed anything we could find, rock formations, waterfalls, mountains etc. Good Stuff. You start to get a nose for water when you work every day in 40-50 degree (Celcius) heat, haha. Good Times. It was the best life ever, but unfortunately, after one too many falls out of a tree, my body just couldn't take it any more, so I was left contemplating, "what do I do now?". The answer came to me in the weirdest way, another administrator on a website I admin at built boats. So lo and behold, I became a self-employed marine carpeter. Putting carpet in pleasure craft and fishing boats. Not my idea of a dream job, and I miss the adrenaline rushes of climbing and stuff, but I make more now in a week than I did in 3 weeks of climbing. So its worth it for my families sake. I still have to travel week on, week off, about 5 hours to Sydney, and then fly 1000k's to Gold Coast to work, but thats OK.The drives worse than the flights. Anyhow, hope someone finds my little tale interesting. So much happened in the last 15 years, I only gave a brief over-view. So thats my life. Later guys. PS liwenjones, that sounds like a real interesting job mate. TBH I thought MC Hammer was dead!?!? lol. Shows how out of touch with "the scene" I am I guess. haha.
I am the Communications Evangelist for the new online dance community called DanceJam.com
I found the job under Craigslist Gigs as a paid intern and I've finally worked my way up the ladder to where I am now. The cool thing about this job is that my boss is MC Hammer (who is stranger than you think) and I get to meet other famous singers and celebs when I work in the office. I mostly work from home now since Palo Alto is so darn far away. I am in charge of the DanceJam beta, promotions, social networks and a couple maintenance issues.
I do alot of things for a living
I just landed a job today for general maintenance in a laser cutting plant where they cut metal pieces for airplanes. Mostly its just cleaning, painting, some basic machine maintenance. I also have sold cars, been a machine operator a few places, and within the next few months will be finishing up school for welding and metal fabrication, as well as earning my certification for 4" vertical mig welding. Eventually, I would like to go on to be a machine repairman, as I love working on machines and figuring out what is wrong with them. The problem around where I live is that most major manufacturers are moving their plants overseas for cheaper labor, and so job opportunities are dwindling. Because of this I have to go through a staffing agency to find anything decent, and well they usually take a good chunk of my paycheck for the first 3 months. |
