What job do you have?

Post by antszy101 »

I'm opening this up so that the community can see that we're not just a bunch of nerds who sit on the couch all day :wink:
You can also either complain about your job, or praise it and suggest it for those who dont have one.

I'll start with mine. I play my violin for businesses receptions and such with my quartet at a rate of 50 dollars an hour. And when we can't get any jobs, I just go out to town, open up my case, and be a street performer for an hour or two.

Fifty dollars an hour? You must be really good!

I'm currently unemployed, though that doesn't make me a nerd, or someone that just sits on their couch.

I'm careful with my money, so I have enough from previous positions to keep me going for a while.

I'd say I'm financially successful, for a 17 year old. Everything I own was purchased from my own money, through my own work. And I have some nice things =)

i've never had a job and i'm 17 right now. i figure i'll get my CCNA or A+ certification as soon as i can and just get a tech job and skip all the McDonalds and Krogers malarky. if i want to get paid minimum wage, it'll be doing something i like.

Meh, I work at bungie, it's alright. :P . Hopefully I have a job coming up doing landscaping. If not then probably some store in the mall. Hoping to eventually get into a job for a game company, but that's not for another couple years.

i agree. once i get a mode of transport, i think i might try geeksquad just because i know i'll be able to do it no problem. pretty much any tech job i can find i'll try to get, and i'm probably going to do a local thing in my sub, where i set up wifi for people and such. that'll be some pretty easy money too.

I work at my dad's surround sound place.

We install sound systems in stadiums and big stuff like that.

I draw out the plans for stuff and also take inventory.

12$/hr for me.

Wow I'm surprised. It seems like they'd hire any moron off the street for that job (based on the people I've seen working at Geek Squad).

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm unemployed at the moment but I'm looking.

LOL! You are doing exactly what I was gonna do when im 15ish. I was gonna start up a little-local, cheap tech-support business. Pretty much doing what Geeksquad can do, but cheaper. I guess
