I teach middle school math to dumb people. I have officially lost faith in humanity. I like it overall though.
Well, I'm a manager at Hardees and I am currently working on my bachelors degree for History Education to be a history teacher.
I work for Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., which is an evil company that scams people. I get to hear people bitch at me all day on the phone for $8.50 an hour. Sucks.
I'm a freelance designer. I basically sit at home talking on irc all day. I also work part time at my dads store.
I am a student, which is a job.
I'm a Night Auditor for a 4-star hotel. I work overnight and make sure that all the money for the previous day is accounted for and that the money going out matches the money coming in.
Basically I get to be an anal-rententive bitch. I dig it..:)
I thought so too, until I got a real job. *mocks ur immaturity to make herself feel better*Quote:

I will be a peer mentor for our freshman engineering program, though, once school kicks back in.
By day, I am a software developer for a company that writes mathematical analysis and decision support software. I love it.
By night, I am a musician/audio engineer/website programmer/composer. I love it.

I work at OCT, or Oslo Container Terminal. Basically I check that every incoming container has a seal on them and that they've been put on correctly. I write damage reports on tanks, and right before I quit I plug reefers (containers that can be set to different temperatures) and check that they're at the right temperature.
Pretty easy job, but I can't ever screw up.
I used to work in a cafe until a few weeks ago where I got laid off. Yes, I got laid off in a cafe. It makes me want to kill myself.
I recently started writing a weekly column for a Nintendo fansite. It's pretty great. Still got two years of college educatin' left to do, as well.
Currently working in the Spare Parts department of my country's largest car dealership. I'm in charge of ordering and maintaining inventory, a job I sort of got roped into doing. The guy who had the job before me (holy crap I've been in this position for 4 years) got fired for looking at porn on his computer, so I was pulled off the sales counter to replace him since I was pretty savvy with the technology we use. The pay is 'pretty good' compared to those who've been brave enough to post their salaries, but it's completely offset by the fact that living in Bermuda is freaking expensive.
I'm leaving in a month and a half. I should be grateful, but I *never* wanted to work here. Goin' to school to pursue a career in IT.
I do volunteer work at some charity shop in town.
Summer is boring + I have nothing better to do until college starts again in September.
Currently unemployed but I'm a jack of all trades.
Goin' back to school in the fall for a nursing degree.
Woolworths represent. Work as a shop assistant. Up until last week I also had an administrator job for a civil engineering company, but that was only a temporary job.
I'm of the opinion that if there is a Hell then we're already in it; jobs are the punishment of the damned since everyone hates their job no matter what it is.
My yob beats the crap out of people I don't like.
Seriousness aside, I work at Burtons Men Swear. It's true as well! smurf! Anyway, minimum wage exactly, which is OK for a <18, but I can only work 4 hours a week which sucks.
I'm planning on leaving soon though because I hate the accounts. Store cards are the Devil. And nobody wants one now because of the crunchiness, but I still get told off for it. Wankers.
I'm chatting up the GameStation crew right now. Got a friend on the inside too. Better pay, better fun. Win win.
That's not true I loved my last job. It may have been a lowly (and unfortunately temporary) job ion HMV's stockroom, but not a day went by when something funny didn't happen, like the stockroom supervisor and the head security guard randomly wrestling on the stockroom floor :cool:Quote:

That's basically my entire job, aside from very minor intern type of things. It's a really great job. It's easy, as long as you pay attention to detail. My coworkers have been telling me that I'm so great at this job, and I've only been doing it for 3 days. I've caught loads of errors.
I work 32 hours a week, so it's a little shy of a full time job. I do the 9-5 thing, 4 days a week, $10 an hour.
The only thing that sucks is that since they ran out of cubicles in my department, I have to work at a round desk. xD But it's not so bad, because I'm gonna pimp it out like a cubicle anyway. :bigsmile:
I do oddjobs with a man I know for about $5 an hour
Wahey!
I work in a grocery store deli. There's a lot to do but I love my job.
What :| We're not allowed tips. There's a sign (a small one) in our store that says we're not allowed to receive them.Quote:

I work in a deli. My boss is thew man and is a total stoner.
I'm hopefully getting my old job at Thermal Dynamics back working in electrical engineering.
I work at the checkouts at Morrisons
such fun it isnt
I'm a part-time sales at Clinton Cards. I have my own sections which I have to keep tidy and stocked up. I work on the till and deal with the phone, deliveries, orders and customers. It's ok, been there for about 10 months now. I think I need something new though.
I'm a photographer. Mostly weddings and children's portraits, but I want to get into more commercial work. Maybe dabble in fashion photography for awhile, but eventually get into photography work for movies (ie: publicity shots, movie stills, etc).
I love being a photographer, but it's a hard business to be in.
I currently work at The local movie theaters cause I wanted a fun night job. Which it is so woo! Come fall I'll be a college student working on my journalism degree. i'm hoping to get an internship with the local newspaper. We'll see.
I work in a nightclub in Essex as a barmaid. If I'm on my favourite supervisors bar (which is also the busiest bar in the club), and with the people I am friendliest with at work then I absolutely love my job! We have a good laugh and its tons of fun. :jess:
Nope. I love my job. I'm a Programming Clerk for two senior homes and I love it. Straight computer work. I produce newsletters, brochures for the facilities, programs, and basically keep track of all resident's info for whoever needs it and keep them all updated. Whatever needs to be done that requires a computer to do, I do it. It's great! I love what I do and I even get paid for it. :)Quote:

I get paid ok, something like $25 an hour, it's equivalent to $13 if I lived in the US, because of the high cost of living around here. I also pay almost 30% in taxes.
I used to work for Sainsbury's Supermarkets as an Entertainment and General Merchandise assistant. The pay sucked at £6.39 an hour (being that I'm now 22) I worked 16 hours a week as standard with them doing 0900 - 1800 on mondays and 0800 - 1700 on tuesdays.
Currently I work as a full time Entertainment and Related assistant in HMV's UK flagship store in Oxford Circus (Well it's more tottenham court road but we're called the oxford circus store) I love the job, the guys and girls I work with are really nice, my managers are totally chilled out and express genuine concern over you if you don't look well or have an issue (I was ,asked about a dozen times by my supervisor, assistant floor manager, general manager and any other supervisors in if I was ok friday because I had problems with my wisdom teeth causing me much pain) I also like that my ideas and suggestions are actually received openly and with real enthusiasm. HMV is in the top 3 retailers in terms of pay in the uk so my wages being in their main store are surprisingly high (even on probation it pays more than my old job) My shifts are all "lates" which means working from 1200 - 2030 every day (except thursdays when we close at 2100 I start half hour later and finish at the later time too) I work monday - friday and thus am often paid to see any live acts which might be in the store recently this has included:
The Jonas Brothers (they're crap, well irritating mostly but their screaming fan girls were funny since they'd offer anything for the idea that you'd get them to meet the band)
Dirty Pretty Things
Seth Lakeman (not often I like folk but I have to admit he's great and he's a great guy I spoke to him for about 20 minutes earlier in the day, didn't even realize it was him)
Comming up we have Bowling for Soup in the store which should be pretty cool.
Overall I love it but if there is a downfall it's the T-shirts I hate working in clothing I quit a clothing store job and sometimes when theres loads for me to do in the T-shirts section of my dept I feel a little down and like I want to scream at people.
I work for what is probably the largest high school in the world, the U.S. Navy. Still, I love my job, and the travel makes it all worth it. I'm an IT, so I get to sit around until it's time to do preventative maintenance, or until something goes wrong.
Not to mention there's barely ever a day that goes by that something hilarious doesn't happen.
I do a little bit of everything with computers. Mostly I make websites and website backends for a living, but also database administration and programming in Java, Ruby, PHP and various UNIX scripting languages. :p
My job's pretty sweet. If I feel like working from home that's fine. :D
i dont get paid enough to do what i do. bah. dishes and dealing with lazy employees. someone else got the credit for my amazingness aand got employee of the month (and has only been working there for 2 months) while i get threatened to get fired and such (have been working there for 1 year 4 months). so im like:
me- "why did he get BEST employee of the month for doing something ive been doing for over a year and havent got recognised for?! he didn't do all of that crap by hisself! i did it! that was me!!! hello!!! >:o"
manager- "*ignores*"
me- "Grrrrrr!!!!! i quit!!!!"
manager- "you have 5 seconds to get back to that dishtank before..."
me-"...*5 seconds later* ....TT_TT i hate my job *mumble mumble*"
I start as a barman in a restaurant/pub some time this week. Yay summer holidays.
I work for the US Federal Gov't, Department of Agriculture. :3 Specifically at the Dairy Forage Research Center. I'm the assistant to the director here, so I organize stuff, type stuff, enter stuff into excel, and the likes. ^_^
I just finished working as a teacher, which was a job that only lasted about three months because of some kids getting moved over from the kindergarten each year. It was a great job, and working with kids was so much fun. The things you hear everyday! xD
My boss at that job has spoken with my mom while I was away this week, and they apparently want me back next year for the same 3 months period, which is super neat! It's always nice to know that you're good at what you do.
Also, I work as a service assistant (not that kind of service! >:O) at the local sports centre. The job includes cleaning, being a clerk in the cafeteria (along with making some of the food) and general supervision. That job has only been part-time for the last 6 months or so, but I'm gonna work there full-time the next month and a half or so.. so that's nice.
EDIT: Oh, and I also do volunteer work at the local cinema.

From the title I always think this is to do with teenage gangs or something, as it's called the 'yob culture'. Way to confuse me! :jess:
I don't have a job. It's really hard to get a job at my age, either they don't take on under 18s, they're all taken or they're only looking for people no longer in full education.
same. most people around here only hire peeps with degrees. bah!
I'm an "SGA" or "Senior Game Advisor" at Gamestop. Basically... I am a second asst. manager, but recently they wanted me to move up and run the store for 40 plus hours a week and I said no (college) and so now I am working 40 plus hours a week with the same pay and everything just not the title.
Let me tell you though... the discounts are amazing. Just sometimes the people can be ULTRA rude. And it's not the little kids.
well im in year 12 at school, but i also work at a eagle boys! :p (it's an Australian pizza franchise, for those of you from other countries [which is like, everybody :lol:] ) i dread going to that sh*thole, especially seeing as all of our good managers have left :( but it's generally a pretty good environment (even though i dont get paid enough :mad: ) and i have a pretty good rapport with the managers and stuff, so i guess it's not too bad...
I work in a company of about 350 employees. I'm an administrator, which means I do bits of everything: Minute meetings, give technical advice on how to use software/AV equipment, proof documents, organise events and catering, sit on reception. I've been at it for a couple of years, so at this point I train junior staff (and senior staff who are above me), update the website, dabble in graphic design when I can, and basically answer everyone's questions. The most exciting thing I've done is shoot a promotional video about a month ago, and the thing I dislike the most has anything to do with invoicing/journalling.
The money is pretty good, and there are a lot of perks. I could go in quite a few directions from here, but I have a feeling I'll be going abroad fairly soon.
