Legally: I have no job. I'm 13.
Actually: I design sound and light cues for theatre companies. I also operate sound/light boards and do backstage work. Pay isn't even minimum wage, but not bad. $10/show is pretty good for someone who isn't allowed to work.

As for when I'm 16, I have a job reserved at my LBS.

I sit around a half-empty video store all day, watching random television series in the office or playing video games on the sales floor. Sometimes we work, but it isn't encouraged.

I work at a software development company. My job title is "Internet Applications Developer" which means "guy who writes random programs that run online using whatever random language the boss decides should be used." Most of my duties are more along the lines of server administrator, however. And since my boss is the chair of the nonprofit that owns the office, I've declared myself to be the Networks and Systems Office of the building. So...I'm working two jobs at once, not getting paid enough for either, and I have the joys of unpaid overtime (the downside of a salaried position) and everyone in the building comes and bothers me if there's a problem with the network.

-- Of course --
I can't complain. I've got the freedom to sit here on the forum all day while I'm at work. And, if I cared to, I could spend the whole day drinking too. :grin: If I got paid twice as much as I do, I'd have the best job ever.

*wishes he had a job like yours*

I don't have a job, or a major, yet. I'm still kind of trying to figure out what the heck I want to do.

There are times I'd be happy to give it to you. Like when everything's on fire and has to be done now (pretty much all time time). And when I get stuck doing tech support during that period of time where I'm trying to push out a full redesign of a client site in three days. Ugh...

But you haven't found anything you really enjoy doing? I wish you luck. Not finding what you love to do is how you end up in a career management position at McDonald's. :( (No offense to McDonald's managers of course, I just wouldn't want your job for anything.)

My situation:

I am a Marine! Oorah! To be more specific I am a crewchief on CH-53e's. It's basically a huge helicopter, at least the largest in the corps. I get to fly around shooting a 50 cal and telling the pilots what to do.
But that is only so I can go to college and do what I really want to... I want to be a professor in music. I'm not really sure if I want to major in composition, performance, or recording. And at some point during all of this I have a couple of stories I would love to see made into movies. Who knows, right? 8)

As for the music thing...
If you can play an instrument well, then go into performance. If you know what instruments go together and sound good, go into composition. If you're more of a techie and you fall under the previous catagory, then recording would do nicely.

Well, that's just the thing... I'm pretty equal in all three aspects and can't decide what I'd enjoy most. I pretty much lived in the music room at school. Seriously. My senior year here is pretty much what I had finally gotten myself into (This was only possible because I did my junior and sophmore year at the same time because of this foreign exchange thing)..
I woke up early for school and traveled with my music teacher to all of the elementary schools teaching 5th graders, then I got to school and all of my classes (except for, like, two) were in the band room. Symphonic band, concert band, wind ensemble, and music theory II (They had to make that class specifically for a myself and a friend of mine) and then all of my study halls I would just go to the band room. After school I was in any of the following: Pit band, pep band, marching band, jazz I, jazz II, and something else I cant remember right now. Then outside of that I had a "punk polka" band I was in and a rock band I was in, which I handled recording for. I also made some beats for some friends of mine that rap, and then also recorded them. I played all saxophones, trumpet, tuba, trombone, percussion, guitar, and a bit of piano. So I have no idea what to do with myself.
So why didn't I join the Marine Corps band? Simple. I'm retarded.
