I'm still a student for another 2 years. Then I'll get my degree in computer networking and hopefully start my career as a faceless employee at some big corporation.

Meh. You're only faceless for convenience. Your managers, supervisors, coworkers, and customers all see your face and open the door for social contact beyond "faceless employee". Its all up to you.

Nobody quite knows and I have yet to figure it out myself.

I suppose the best description I can come up with is I am (self) employed for being me- I can called up and whatever skills and tools I happen to have come along for the ride. A pity in some ways as I had hoped to have had a "legitimate" job at some point in life and it is somewhat difficult to transfer out.

I'm a second year politics student. After I graduate I'm looking at doing my MA and PHD to go into academic research.

Currently I've started looking for a part time job to help kill time.

I work at my local JJB Sports outlet. It's not bad. You get the odd awkward customer (read: ARSE HOLES) but the majority are ok and actually quite polite. The thieves are about as effective as a dustpan and brush trying to clean up nuclear waste and thus easily caught (for a nice £25 bonus every time) and my colleagues opinions of me vary from wonder salesman to SuperJesus. I like it. Plus it pays me a damn fortune for doing very little work.

Congrats! Your job sounds to be about the same as mine. Restock the shelves, help customers, etc. It's a good laugh if you're working with good people.

I like working in warehouses because I get a strange satisfaction from seeing lots of identical items in the same place. Weird, I know. I couldn't work with customers as I don't suffer fools gladly and the 'C' word is never far from my lips.

Somehow I've ended up as a cabinet / furniture maker. I also do all the CAD shop drawings and furniture design. It's a pretty good mix of computer work and actually being out in the shop. Keeps me from going crazy doing one or the other. I'm enjoying it, but who knows when the next opportunity will come along.

I was a software consultant working with warehouse / distribution management systems for quite some time, but all the travel and 100 hour weeks just got to be too much after I had kids. The money was a lot better, but life is full of trade-offs I guess.

I'm currently serving as a soldier (Sergeant) in the Singapore Armed Forces, not earning income but "allowance".

Can't wait to get the fuck out next year and start University.

I am aspiring to be a physicist of some sort (theoretical, atomic, particle, astrophysics, nuclear, whatever I find out which one of those is my true passion). If Plan A goes down the tube, then Plan B is to be a cosmologist. If that fails as well, Plan C is an astronomer. If THAT fails, I plan to...rap; I don't know. If I fail at all of those options, then I fail at life.
