I work for a temp agency.

Its my job to place people in jobs that will offer them greater pay and happiness then I receive. I'm basically like a wedding planner who goes home every night to an empty apartment where she cries herself to sleep.

Nobodies are cool, once they get further in their studies they become nobodies with no life. "How do you kill on who has no life?" You will be invincble! XD

Digital services supervisor for a printing company (basically I.T. network admin + responsible for any electronic high volume print machines )


similar to what I do.

Year 1 at College where I am studying Maths, Film, English Literature and Geology.

I am currently working with someone on writing a script and shooting a short film (she has previously done something with Channel 4) so that should be exciting! :D

Oh and I have a part time job at H Samuel. (A UK Jewelery store).

I am in grade 8. :D

I am joining the Navy January 2nd.

Programmer for hospital mainframe machines..... good stuff! :D

im in 7th grade

I'm a 9th grader. Sadly, I'm too young to get a good paying job, so basically the only time I can get games is for my birthday and Christmas (Or if I beg). That's also why I only have a wii and a ps2...

I'm an EMT-Basic (not Paramedic). I've been in the field for a little over 7 years now and have been working for my local EMS for 4 and a half of that. Unfortunately we get little praise and even littler pay compared to other public service (fire and police mainly) workers. I've never understood that because police may stop that burglar and firemen may put out your house fire but if you get shot by that burglar or burned in that house fire it's EMS that keeps your a$$ out of the Grim Reapers bony hands!

on top of the world... till next year ;)

Yep I having fun while I can.

Studying law 2nd year

Wow! Whats that like? My mom keeps telling me that we need a lawyer in the family. JUst don't turn out like Jack Thompson!

I work for an IT company in Information Security....

Wow...lotta lawyers....Lono wannabes it seems.

Currently working behind a desk for a truck company that services Goodyear Tire & Rubber. And also lazily advancing my career as a graphic designer/artist by itty bitty meandering jobs.

just finishing semester #1 in grad school, writing a novel, really hoping to do good on the state trooper test so that I can pull in a cool $65k protecting and serving and picking up some cool police stories to write about.

I actually took the law school exam on saturday to keep my options open -- play a lot of brain age if you want to do good on it, future lawyers :-)

I'm a senior in high school planning on going to college for game programming. I'm concepting my first game right now with a few friends. Large scale class based stratigic sci-fi first person shooter. Look for it in 2013-14.

High school senior here, but taking a few classes at my local two-year college at the same time.

Air traffic controller in the US Army. no not the guy with the cones but the guy in the towers at the airport, soon to be moving to a radar facility(think Pushing Tin, if you have seen that movie).

I'm the assistant logistics manager at an international import/export company. Basically I shuffle merchandise all day. In my spare time I'm an 0351 Infantry Assaultman in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. While there I fire a rocket launcher and play with demolitions. I literally get to blow shit up.

IT Manager for an aerospace firm, which basically means keeping the whole site (currently 6000 employees) operational, from an IT point of view, including, pc's, laptops, telephones, challenging, but funds my gaming habit :lol:

I'm still in high school. This is the end of my junior year. Good part - summer break is coming soon. Bad part - so much f**king review work for AP test and final exams.

That's a tough job. You like it?

im in grade 13th soon =O

Stupid freshman. I'm a sophmore (10th grade)

Stupid sophmore. I'm a junior. :grin: Almost a senior!

Seriously though Maulin, don't beat up on the freshman. You were one last year and I'm sure you didn't have to put up with that much crap. Truth is, you won't ever get any respect from upper classmen. The only time you aren't treated like crap is when you're a senior. And the only reason for that is because there is no one above you to give you the crap that you deserve. BTW I know you were joking, so don't freak out when you read this.

@Okami What? 13th? Are you saying that you're a freshman in college or what?

10th grade, and I mow lawns.

Im 17 and im a stock control assistant at tesco
Tesco is a big supermarket here in the uk i think they have stores in america now but under a different name:/

I eat Frosted Freshman for breakfast. They're more than good, they're GREEEAAAT!

Seriously, I was just joking. Some of my good friends are freshman or younger.

I had a freshmen, but I eated it...:sad:

18, senior in high school, starting my game design portfolio by making custom Neverwinter Nights and Unreal Tournament 2004 mods. (Damn my old computer)

I'm a full-time college student (second semester) and a part-time Business Machines Sales Associate at Staples :D So, basically, I help people pick out printers, monitors, computers and other techie things (it's weird being the only girl in my department) and try to balance in homework.

I am an axe wielding semi-god with the power to crush mere mortals with my giant stainless steel hand called the “taker of souls”. I travel across the universe on a golden dragon destroying entire solar systems in an attempt to rid the universe of evil. as the creator of many planets I have learnt to defeat the laws of physics and have become more powerful than any other being in existence and with this great power I have decided to protect the planet earth from outsiders. the planet earth must be reserved as they are the keepers of the one thing that restores my power... the sarcastic gamer podcast, through specific and advanced sound waves that the humans do not hear I can revitalise my strength in infinite quantities ensuring my everlasting task of destroying all evil will never come to an end.

But when I'm not doing that I'm a stone mason and funeral director

But when I'm not doing that I'm a stone mason and funeral director

really? a stone mason and funeral director? how does that pay, I was looking to get into that field.

:lol: it amuses me that it was this part of my life that interests you

but on a serious note which part were you more interested in because although there on the same subject the two jobs are actually very different, its difficult to say how much they pay because i own the company i dont really have a wage but i pay my employees around £1000 - £1500 monthly depending on their area so its not really a big payer but not to bad i suppose:undecided:

Well to be honest, I was joking. I don't think I would be suited for that line of work. Stone masonry would be fun for a little while though. I work in digital imaging, not even remotly related. I have no Idea what that pay relates to in U.S. $$$ - prolly a ton :D

I'm in the 8th grade :D. Straight A student, gonna be an Honors student next year :D

10th grade. Im homeschooled so I do school at night and I work on the family farm during the day.

:lol: well your not missing much, being a stonemason is very physically draining (the average headstone weighing 255kg - I don’t know what that is in pounds but that’s just the standard size, the bigger ones are a bitch)

and being a funeral director is very mentally draining. When people recognise me in the street they smile but in their eyes you can see that I am just a painful reminder of a lost one. (It’s quite often that people start crying as they greet me) i also see some pretty gruesome stuff - suicides etc. It can be difficult to forget :sad:

9th grade.

7th grade. No, I'm not a whining, swearing pubescent child singing over the mic in xbox live.

That's a tough job. You like it?

love the job, challenging and something different happens every day. right now i control in alabama at a firing range for apaches and kiowa helicopters so thats always fun. i get to see crap get blowed up all day.

I am a supply Sgt. for an Engineering OSUT(one stop unit training) company in Fort Leonard Wood, MO. We train the soldiers going through basic training and AIT(advanced individual training). My job is mostly paperwork now, but I have been to Afghanistan in my last unit. Being supply used to be a pretty safe job, but with IEDs and the like we are just as big of targets when we are on our convoys as the combat arms soldiers. I love my job and wish I had more time to play all the games that are coming out and have come out. If you want to know more PM me and I'll try to answer your questions, as long as they don't violate OPSEC.

I am the Proposals Manager for COMAU UK (http://www.comau.com/index.jsp?ixPageId=320&ixMenuId=114).

We basically Design, Make and Install Automotive Body Shops for the likes of Jaguar, Land Rover, GM etc.

Basically, when you see robots doing all that welding, that's what we do.

I spend most of my day staring at Excel wondering why there are a load of N/A's on the screen!:huh:

We're part of a worldwide group and are 100% owned by FIAT.

If there is anyone in the UK who is thinking of buying a NEW FIAT or you know someone who is thinking of getting a new car, then please let me know becasue I will get you 20-30% discount!
Not on the new 500 yet though!

I am in 6th Form Studing ICT (Theroy) and ICT (Practical),Two diffrent Subjects, in the hopes of taking a degree course in Adminstartion and Maintence so I can become a technician... though I still sometimes dream of designing video games

I am currently going in to 10th grade.

scruffy-looking nerfherder

My official job title is a Tire Technician. In laments terms, i sell and install tires on cars and trucks, at Sam's Club. I love how even lame jobs have a title that make them sound more important than they actually are.

I love how even lame jobs have a title that make them sound more important than they actually are.

Indeed Spiral...my role as Proposal Manager should be subtitled...

Carpet Manager...cause folk seem to be deft at walking all over me!

:wink2:

For instance, there is another job title at my place of work, "P.L.E." which stands for Parking Lot Employee. Which at first glance, has a somewhat important sound to the title. The "P.L.E." is the guy who collects all the shopping carts, and helps people load stuff into their vehicles.

I'll be in 9th grade after summer break, job? well i don't have one yet but I'm thinking of trying to be a flagger at the MX track i ride at, or the local EB games, i like option 2 because i get games cheaper then and i can't ride anymore, bikes to small and i need 7 grand for a bigger one:(

As for what i want to do in the future? well i'm really into graphic design and video game development so so far thats where i see my future going.
