Real nice. But I don't think I'll want to keep working for a newspaper.. too much prostitution in the media nowadays.
(And not the kind of prostitution where you get paid for sex, if that would be the case, I'd stay!)

Oh, and to add - it's through school. Not setup up school though, I did that. 2 days a week, the other 2 days I'm going to school.

"freelance" graphic designer for a lack of a better job description.

Right now I have an extended contract with a defense contractor making small ads for trade magazines and doing their company catalog/flyer/in-house stuff.

They don't allow me much creativity... not my best looking work. But on a happier note, I make mega dollars (compared to most of my jobs) working for them- so i'm not complaining.

Bilbo will be happy to know that the CEO of the company contributes 1 million dollars a year annually to the National Republican Commitee

murmeli · 25th January 2002, 12:35

I'm a full-time student. Studying computer science.
How wonderful

13_shadows · 25th January 2002, 13:09

I'm a bum. I'm on welfare. I've been looking for a job for 2 years now...there are none. And because I have bad credit, I can't get a student loan to pay for school...so..I'm a bum.

rm' · 25th January 2002, 13:14

I do a whole lotta nothing, and happy for it

I'm not all too particularly excited about joining the work force and becoming another suit.

You don't actually turn into a suit by getting a job.
It depends on what you do.
As a photographer, I'm far from a suit!
I could not take it, being a suit.
I need to do something.. different.

rm' · 25th January 2002, 13:19

I likely will, considering the career path I'm taking.

jns · 25th January 2002, 13:24

What career path?
Is the money good?

Would you send me some?

Or buy me a Nikon F5?

rm' · 25th January 2002, 13:26

Lawyering, and the money is good. I'll buy you a camera, but you have to promise me you'll let me use it, and keep it at my house and store it in a cabinet whose key only I possess.

Bop · 25th January 2002, 13:36

I'm a full-time student, and a part-time jewelry sales associate. I have already turned into a suit.

I'm a student, and I also lecture in Computer Programming and Electronic Systems here at the university. Pay is okay, and I have the time to do what I want (climbing, photography, etc...)

I'm a full time Computer Visualisation student and don't have a paid job but I did work at a few places in the summer that I might be able to go back to.

james · 25th January 2002, 15:48

I have a weird job. I'm in a gap year between finishing my A-levels and going to uni, and I'm doing a 'Year in Industry', working for British Energy who run 8 of the UK's nuclear power stations (and a few in the US too!) It's a pretty good job - I get paid well, for a student! There are 18 of us students doing the same thing, all working in the smae building, so that's good for a laugh!

binary hero · 25th January 2002, 16:12

Freelance Fine Art Technician. Anything to do with installing, packing and transport of art works.
Currently de-installing an exhibition I worked on at the Courtauld Institute in Somerset House. One of the most interesting jobs I've done in a long time. The exhibition was an attempt to recreate an early 18th century salon style hang in the great gallary, as it would have been when the Royal Acadamy used the building.

I'm now at army (in Finland we have to go to army when we are full aged (over 18)). It will take 9 to 12 months. After that I'll continue studying at Turku Polytechics (information technology). I have studied ½ year and after army three more years.
