Jobs the horrible things we have to get up early to go to and slave away all day, well unless you like your job. :p

What do you do for a living? :)

If you don't do anything what do you want to do? :mog:

I'm currently out of college and unemplyoed. I'm still figuring out what job I should take. Maybe a call center agent is not a bad idea...

Call centre agent is the ideal first job. Lots of the people I trained with at BT (British Telecom) are younger than myself (25) and for around half of them it was their first proper job.

I currently work at a kindergarten/afterschool centre for kids between 5-8. I work there 30 hours a week, from 11 am to 5 pm, which is great. Other than that I also work at the local sports centre, where I clean and sometimes also have the watch.. my hours there are not fixed, though - I work when they need me to.

I'm pretty much a bum atm, looking for anything easy to make some quick money.

My ideal career would involve writing.

I run a grocery store. And by run I mean I do practically everything, but I only got hired to cashier, then months later I got made a stock, supervisor, customer service, and cash office person. And despite all that I don't make over 8 bucks an hour.

I am tempted to say that I would let myself starve before I ever had a job that involved calling people. I probably wouldn't, but I wish I had that resolve and strength to prevent my suffering.

Right now I'm an unemployed college student i.e. scum of the earth.

Unemployed college students are fine as long as their parents front cash. Otherwise I can't do much with them.

Um...

I'm apparently an ID Administration Analyst.

From my résumé:

* Provided support for Messaging (Group E-mail, Distribution Lists) administration, including but not limited to: Ownership/Co-ownership modification, membership modification, Creation, Removal, Domain Global Group management.
* Maintained ticket closure within service level agreement (one business day) at 97+% (typically 100%)

Soon you can add some domain logon administration and group disk share administration to those tasks.

Oh and my job is ridiculously easy. Excerpt from today:

(10:47:12 AM) Chemical: i have work 7 - 9
(10:47:16 AM) Chemical: er
(10:47:16 AM) i'm a SHAAAARK!: lawl
(10:47:17 AM) Chemical: 5 - 9
(10:47:30 AM) i'm a SHAAAARK!: no james for you!
(10:47:32 AM) i'm a SHAAAARK!: he's all mine!
(10:47:35 AM) i'm a SHAAAARK!: um
(10:47:48 AM) i'm a SHAAAARK!: /goes back to warcraft

I play video games during the day. These tickets take literally 5 minutes MAX to do, and I don't get that many in a day. Yawn.

I would have said the same thing eight months ago. Then my previous job got too boring, I was under poor leadership, and I felt my talents were being wasted, so I just went for it. :D

I'm a software instructor and assimilator (sp?).

I was a conscripted soldier for 3 years before now, though. Basically, I got paid little\nothing, for something any private contractor\professional soldier would get six figures for, probably. :)

Heh, good for you, but in my case, it's not a dislike, it's an abject fear. Unless the phone call is from someone I know, I don't answer. The number of people I can call out to is countable on my fingers. :p

I do graphic design for an online glasses company. It involves making stuff for the web, banners, site graphics, designing and making emails to send out, and also print work like catalogue, mailers, etc. Basically pushing pixels all day :D But I pretty much like or love it generally, I get to work on a computer and design. Sometimes to be really creative, other times not so much but still.

It's basically like getting paid to make signatures on a forum to me though xD

Saying this, I really need to improve a lot of my skills, and I hardly ever take the time to...

I'm a Line Leader at a disc brake pad manufacturing company. I track production rates of 25 employees over 10 packout cells, ensure that quality products are shipped in a timely fashion, schedule and prioritize the work flow, track and post reports on equipment downtime, and track and analyze quantities of use of personal protective equipment.

All while browsing EoFF. I freaking love this job. :choc2:

I teach 6th grade math and science. It's very hard, and everyday is like an uphill battle that I'm not sure can be won.

But... I guess I enjoy it.

Besides being a full-time student? Right now I am working part-time but will be going full-time next week since classes are over. I am a prep cook at an Irish pub. My job basically entails preparing the foods that the line cooks will cook. So make hamburger patties, make apple pies, crab cakes, tartar sauce, etc...I also take care of the salad/dessert line.

Do I like my job? Not in particular. My boss is a nice guy but not the best scheduler and often makes you work past your shift which is nice since you are making money but at the same time you just get tired and want to go home. Kitchens are not cool. Sometimes the only reason I stay, aside from money is the fact that I work with some awesome people.

@Bahamut2000X: That is less than minimum wage here. O___O;;;

I'm a full-time Health and Social Care student and I'm a part-time barmaid. I love my job. I get paid to watch sports and socialise, but it can also be knackering as if it is busy you never stop moving. I wish I had more hours, though. :jess:

I am paid to work for an IT company called Computacenter.

Lucky for me, I'm not paid to make people understand exactly what it is that I do, because it would take forever and isn't incredibly interesting. Most of my job surrounds administrative duties, I can say that much.

I make pizzas and sandwiches, wash dishes, and move things from the freezer to the cooler for a living. :D

I love the people I work with too. Lucky me I have a cool boss. And the assistant manager is awesome. He's like my new best friend.

Right now I'm working extremely part time (Saturdays only) at Woolworths though I'm looking for something more substantial. In Woolworths I'm a general shop assistant person, so I'm on the tills, putting out stock, doing the price sweeping (label checking), operating the lift for customers, covering people on the entertainment counter and anything else I need to do. To make that somewhat easier to explain to people, I just say my occupation is Woolworths Man. Or at least that's what my profile says.

Otherwise I'm doing an AS in Government and Politics during my last minute year out before university. From September I'll be studying History at the University of York.

I graduated college a year ago and I am currently working as a reporter for a local tv news station.
It's not very impressive since it's just local, and the pay is pitiful but I'm very lucky to get this as my first job. :heart:
