*UPDATE* well within the last 3 days i managed to get myself hired on at yet another arcade...yay. now i can work my [censored] off for just enough to cover my truck payment and my inurance and try to find a way to pay rent, food. bills. and my student loans........

Oh well so is the dance of life no?

At least it is a paycheck at all.

I'm a student, which takes upp most of my time, but I also work part time at a bank, operating machines.

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 JUST GOT THE REFERENCE

the title is from borat
at the table he asks the other people "what do you do"

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.

cheep babysitting...... i work at an arcade

I do a retail job a few dollars above minimum, and go to college for culinary school.

I'm a shelf stocker at a grocery store, but I'm going to college to become a Cyber Forensic Investigator. Its really not as impressive as CSI makes it. :grin:

Im a wheelchair assassin. but i'd rather be welding...

when on the job, you have to say something cool like "I guess, this wasnt his lucky day" and then put on some sweet sunglasses and play the theme song to csi miami!!!!!!

*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.
