I am a college student. I would rate that a three out of ten. I make my money playing tuba. That is a twelve.

3rd shift security at a gated community. It's slow, and the few people that come through don't stick around long enough for me to babble on about some BS I just researched for an hour and a half. I'd give it about an 8. Pays the bills, and I get to sit on sites like yahoo answers and WP all night, every night LOL

Its pretty good, I'd give it an 8.


lol; I sit at work, drink coffee, read xkcd, and when I get motivated I review a few support cases advanced to me by the NTs on the phones to customers and see if I can fix them (or advance them to engineering if the underlying product needs code changes). If my boss is watching, I look busy. I'd give it a 7 or 8 (depends on my mood).

Working with computers and only having to deal with emails and IM's really helps!


I sit a work, drink tea, read XKCD, and occasionally answer the phone or my emails. I do IT helpdesk for a niche software company. They get enough calls that it takes too much of the developers time to answer them, but not really enough to keep me busy full-time. In the quiet hours I surf the net and study (I'm doing a criminology degree part-time via external study). I would have given it a 4 until recently, but the people making my life a nightmare recently quit, so now I'd give it an 8.

-I'm an EFL teacher. At my second university job in North East China. I worked ROK junior high schools before that. Pay is terrible in the west, but I get a free apartment, utilities, and spend $15 a day and save $100 a week being here. And I'm debt free and single. It's not for everyone though.

That's pretty cool that you get surf the internet on your job. I bet a lot of people wouldn't mind having your job. :) I currently unemployed, but I do have an interview coming up soon. Really hope I get the job.

I am actully going to college so I can have grants and loans to live on until i figure something else out. That is the actual truth, but sometimes I tell certain people in my family that I plan on getting a degree that will make me self sufficent.

Erm!

I'm a professional trainspotter... Really! :oops:

Well! That is what my work has been described as. It has nothing to do with my AS and I have no personal interest in trains. It is just a job that I have fallen into. It pays well and I have no shortage of international job offers.

No! I don't stand on empty platforms collecting train Nos.

Unemployed, I got fired after 2.5 weeks from my last job, because I was not suited for the position(even tho I was just getting the hang of things!), I don't know if AS had anything to do with me getting let go, because they except perfection after two weeks from any new hire, they fired the guy who started the same day as me as well. I wont be working for places that operate like that again, hence I will be asking that question before they hire me!.

I work on tanks and APC's at a tank museum on the weekend, I hope to become a Heavy Duty Mechanic some day:)

I'm disabled from work and college due to extremely severe anxiety so... I am a writer. I write stories... but I haven't published them. I do hope that someday I will have the chance to do so. Writing is my passion and a gift and I use it a lot when writing blogs or stories of my own. To me, its more of a job I can handle doing all at my own pace without dealing with my massive anxiety issues.

I still live with my parents at the moment and I receive SSI as well.
