JudasIscariot: I've been a bagger, cashier, butcher block worker, gas station clerk, tow truck driver, mechanic, drill rig operator, barman and grill operator in one, busboy, and now I work for GOG.com as a Junior Product Specialist. Basically, I am one of the guys that makes the games shine on their respective pages amongst other things :D
LOL that reminded me of Jack Black's speach from the end of the video for Sexx Laws [sic] by Beck where he claims to have been a Wet Nurse and to have picked cotton, amongst other jobs...


Personnally, I'm IT support in a UK state school - fun job, crap pay!

OMG someone should forward that link to Kevin Smith in the hope that he uses it for 'inspiration' for a decent Clerks 3 in stead of aweful crap like Cop Out!

SimonG: Currently I'm writing a book. About some legal stuff.

Apart from that I work at an undisclosed German University. Doing legal stuff.

I have to much time on my hand, as I work pretty much on my own accord. Need to get more work done on that book...
If it's undisclosed, how do you know where to go in the mornings?

I get drugged, blindfolded, and brought to work each morning. I am then put into a dark room naked until my shift is over. Then the same thing when I'm going home.
Currently working as an English Teacher at a Foreign Language College in China. It's awesome, although the pay is low. There's a post I once read somewhere on the internet that stated:

"Interesting, Well-Paid, Legal. Pick any two."

Those who are able to pick all three are the REAL lucky ones. :P
Apprentice Jack of all Trades: currently a freelance laborer and aspiring artist. Have worked and managed in Retail, Security, Restaurant, and Lumber industries. Worked in Construction, Encyclopedia Sales, Paleontology, Ski Lift Operator, Cannery, Planted Trees, ..i may be missing something beyond all the miscellaneous stuff.

At age twelve was mowing lawns and raking leaves. At 14 fixed up rentals and worked on an avocado 'ranch'. At various times i've cut firewood, and made/sold tie-dyes for supplemental income. Done a wide variety of stuff for free. 31 years of working, with gaps for living. Was fast tracked for career's at Pinkerton Security and Thrifty Drug. Had other options to spend my life at various jobs. But never at one place for much more than 2 years.
I'm a qualified bean counter.
systems & network administrator for a white goods company.

not very happy with the job, but it may just be my manager. considering its my first real IT job, it leaves me wondering if I have made the right career choice 0.o

previous jobs include office temp, call center drone and a sailor in the Royal Australian Navy.

wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up...

That's like the age-old adage about... well, any kind of commissioned work, really, but it's often used in software development.

"Cheap, fast, good. You can only have two of them."

Don't forget the college one: "Studies, Sleep, Social Life. Pick two."
I'm a media assistant for an university. The unit I'm in consists almost entirely of people with health care backgrounds, therefor I stand out a little. I make posters, design and maintain websites, produce demo videos for projects including all the audio within, occasional video shoots and photography, etc. Pretty much anything that people think of when they hear the word "media". Sometimes I also teach the teachers random "tech stuff", e.g when they are required to get accustomed to a software they have no past experience with.

I like my job. It's nice indoor work that's very many-sided, and I'm surrounded by fun, lovely female individuals, heh. That's not to say I don't have other passions as well; I've always been drawn to nature and if I hadn't taken the engineering path when it was time to choose what to study, I'd want to be a biologist of sorts. Though I'm very happy with my current position, it's not out of the question that maybe after 15 years or so, I might go study biology or geology and abandon my current profession entirely.

Also, besides these two things, my all-time dream job is something that would involve making video games. Preferably in the audio department; I'd love to be a music composer for games, although I definitely don't think I have the required amount of skill compared to the experts in the business, even though I've made music on-and-off for nearly 10 years now (very strongly emphasized in the last five years or so). But I try, and not a single month goes by without me composing at least something. And I guess you could say I'm partly living this dream already (just not in the scale I would like); I've been involved in a couple, very minor game projects (Flash games and stuff), I occasionally make music for the demo/promo videos I already mentioned in my current full-time job, and sometimes other random projects appear as well. Like for example, currently I'm making a soundtrack (and lending some of my past creations) for a cousin of mine, who's a puppeteer and she's developing a new performance at the moment, so she asked my help.

So there; that's pretty much what I do. Add playing video games in there, and I've just described what's actually my regular, normal day in its entirety, weekends aside.

That's sounds like an average shift for an exotic dancer:)
I'm a Telecommunications Engineer and (lazy) aspiring writer.

I saw this exotic dancer once at a titty joint, (don't ask why i was in a titty joint) and she was sitting on this dirty old mans lap without a shirt on. he was pretty happy about it, but she looked bored, like she couldn't care less.
