What do you do for a living? -

Just what the title says, folks. What do you do for a living? Be it work, school, or otherwise, here's the place to talk about the raison d'etre for your day-to-day life.

I'll kick it off. I work in HR for a company that you've definitely heard of, no matter where in the world you might be. To that end, Chris's resume amuses me to no end (especially the drawing of Sonichu in situ), and I would absolutely love to see how he would react in a job interview.

So how about the rest of you? What pays the bills, and to be clear, monthly tugboats don't count...

Unemployed right now, but I'm thinking (again) about getting a job at a pet store. Two of my friends also want to work there, so hopefully we can all work together so we can carpool or something. If not, there's always Whataburger, I guess.

That's fucking awesome! I always wanted to be a rancher, or do something that involved working outside. Instead, I sit in an office all day, which is pretty much the exact opposite thing.

Working on a ranch is fun. Tiresome, but rewarding. I used to go work on the ranch when I was a kid, and it was a good way to make spending money (even if it was just me getting paid by my granddad to do much lighter work than everyone else). We lost the ranch in 2005, and we've been kicking ourselves over it since.

How can I get the staff of my local upscale grocery's produce department to quit looking at me oddly when I complain about the carrots being too long and pointy?

I'm a computer science student and web/android entreprenur. Eventually I'm going to have to pay off the student loans working full time, not to mention getting out of my entirely poisionous and culturally sterile community.

I don't have a job, I'm focusing on college right now and I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. However, it looks like I have a good chance of getting a job at a grocery store near my house after reconnecting with my mother's old friend who just so happened to be the owner of the local grocery chain known as Tom's Food Market. She has always wanted to do things in return for how great a friend my mother was to her so she said she might just try to hook me up with a job.

I'm an unemployed part-time student. So, pretty much a basement-dweller who has to do something constructive with his time. I'm studying Supervision and Spanish right now.

I'm looking for work right now, probably as an office assistant or in retail. I have a bachelor's in business administration, but I hate business; I have no idea why I studied it. I also studied medical assisting and communications, but didn't earn a degree in either and neither one really appealed to me.

I'm thinking about studying either vet assisting or pharmacy assisting. The medical field is pretty strong where I am.

I used to work in an amusement park, but it sucked working over 60 hours a week and not getting overtime (it's seasonal and seasonal jobs don't have to pay overtime). I worked there for three seasons and my fourth season I worked 5 weeks and quit.
