What do you do for a living?

[funkymonster]

I'm fairly new here and the age range seems to be pretty diverse (people in their teens to early 40s). So I was wondering what everyone does for a living?

I'm currently a student. I attended the Art Institute but left for a faster paced program at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects (which I'll be attending in a few weeks). I was a web designer/developer for around 8 years but after a while I realized my heart wasn't completely in it. Plus I hated the fact that I had to hunt down my pay every single time. Call it giving to 'the system', but I like having a solid paycheck and benefits/perks.

Anyway, what's your story?

I'm an undergrad, eventually studying to become a translator in a few languages.

I also work retail at GNC for minimum wage. Sigh...

 

[funkymonster]

Awesome. :] What languages are those?

Then you're officially making more than me. I'm unemployed. Giving the "starving artist" excuse only works for so long.

I'm inexperienced so I can't get a job anywhere atm. Really sucks, because I need some income.

I'm an undergraduate right now to go for a bachelor in computer science. I supposedly have to stay for five years but I don't really want to go for five. I had few internships so they help me get some experience and they just want to hire me for working there before. It's a pretty easy and quiet job but somethings is boring. The pay is good so it doesn't really matter. We get benefits and free food yeah.

I'm doing a bachelor of computers majoring in games design, and work part time at a bottle shop helping people spend the dole (welfare for all you Americans). Upside, I now have around $1000 worth of spirits sitting in my living room.

Anyway, I'm currently a jobless Junior in high school, but I want to do Video Game Programming or Computer Engineering for a career in the future.

That's what my brother's aiming for when he turns 18, which is in about 2 weeks actually. We've never had a family member in service before, so it's gonna be a whole new experience.

That was my degree as well, a bachelors of science in game art & design. But I decided to leave the school since I didn't want to spend time/money taking irrelevant classes. Don't get me wrong, I like psychology, but unless I'm aiming to be a writer or designer then I don't really need it for my job. Hopefully by doing the Maya Fast Track program with Gnomon in a few weeks and then applying for the Spring will get me well-established in what I need to do.

I've noticed a lot of people want to go into the computer science area. Love live the geeks.

I mooch off of my parents until I graduate college. I will then get a job in the computer technician area or networking specialist.

 

[Raika]

I'm currently a student freeloading off my parents. No idea what I want to do in future though, and my grades are bad too. Maybe just get a random job or something, I dunno.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Stay at home dad, and recently Webmaster and SEO of multiple drop-shipping websites

 

[funkymonster]

Yep, seems like the Temp community's really tech savvy. :]

I wouldn't worry so much about that Raika. I had horrible grades towards the end of my high school life. I got bored too easily and in the end just wound up skipping class. In the end I just got my GED and went on with life. I didn't figure out what I really wanted to do until I was 21, so it's not like your life ends once high school does.

I'm Unemployed and my parents are mooching off me(shouldn't it be the other way around?) while I look for a college.

Well maybe you should stop dreaming in lala land before reality sets in and kick your ass like never before.
