if you were in the UK you would be getting £30 a week
or £100 a month if ur 18-19 lol


i am a student (btec national diploma in ICT)
and i work in woolworths

I love hearing what people do besides ATS.
I'm a designer/craftsman working in wood, metal, clay and other alternative materials. I wholesale my work at the Buyers market of American Crafts and At the American Craft Council Trade shows. I am a partner in a retail store. I have a MA in anthropology and I have never had a job; I just sell what I make in my studio; furnature, guitars and basses, shrines, fine art. I also have a flyfishing guide and outfitting business. I owe my skills as a fabricator to my father who built and repaired airplanes in Texas. Yes, I know I am blessed!!

I am an engineering bureaucrat with The Boeing Company in Mesa Arizona. I have a BA in English from U of Maryland (1969) and a BS in Logistics Engineering from Arizona State University (1988). Neither one has much impact on how I do my job, but they helped me get it in the first place. I am chasing an MBA and should have it complete around May, at which time I will consider retirement from the Death Business and get a job teaching somewhere until I am 65 which isn't for five years. Then I'm going to screw off and spend your social security savings

I also give private music lessons part time in various peoples' homes, which is a nice little on-the-side cash business.

I'm a waterplant operator for a semi-large city. I ride x-cross, snowmobiles and mt bike. I spend alot of time backpacking/hiking/metal detecting. I like most of all to spend quality time with my children. My son who just turned 5 is x-cross racer starting this year and my daughter who's 9 does gymnastics/cheer/and clarinet/guitar.

Account CoOrdinator at a printing company (just started here)

I am also a crowd controller/security guard/door whore ( I made that one up ... errr bouncer) when I feel like it (easiest money U can possibly make lol) on weekends

I don't do much else but that is enough for now

Hey everyone... I'm Daniel... and I'm addicted to racing... I just moved back home after 6 years in the US Air Force and start my new job on Monday... it's a temp thing until another job wants to hire me...

Im a Registered Nurse Transport Specialist (Pediatric) that plus my family (we have a 3 year old) keeps us busy

not the only one here, i imagine. im at the end of a 2yr break after high school, and am thinking about a career yet have no idea. stuck in retail, and tired of it. perhaps people here with careers can describe what there like, what they involve and what kinda person itd suit. i think this may even be a great new subject for a thread. looking forward to thoughts on this.

Hey All! Thanks for responding. I really like hearing what people do with their time.

I can relate to the pediatrics thing; my wife is the Director of Pediatrics for 4 HMO clinics in our area...

I also have a 24 yr. old daughter (her birthday is today) who is shopping around for medschools. She has been accepted at Ohio State, but we are going back to Dartmouth for an interview next week. Then, down to Washington D.C. where my youngest (15 yrs.) daughter will be singing at the National Christmas tree lighting ceremony, as well as the National Cathedral. I have never been to the east Coast, so it should be quite an experience.

I think you're right, your question would make a great thread.
All I can tell ya' is to find something you really enjoy and work hard, hard, hard in pursuit of it.
