I work for a big bank reviewing documents for platinum tier corporate clients to make sure their local and global business bank accounts are updated correctly.

Currently seeking other employment. Love the people and department, but not enjoying the work itself. At least working for a big corporation offers lots of areas to move into.

Student pilot in the RCAF. Heading off in a few days to start my next course where I finally get to learn to fly helicopters.

I am an intensive residential case manager.

Basically I am the guy that keeps known criminals that are developmentally disabled, that have commited a crime like rape, child molestation, arson, violence against women, served their time, but society doesn't trust them, from doing it again.

I basically babysit these guys all day and keep them from re-offending.

You would expect someone that has to spend up to 15 hours a day with some of these people to make a lot of money but I only make $10.00 an hour. I should be making around $20.00 to $25.00 an hour at the very least but somehow the company gets away with paying almost minimum wage.

but somehow the company gets away with paying almost minimum wage.

Isn't that usually known as the "You know you're lucky to even have a job, so I'm gunna milk it for all it's worth" method?

Yeah, it sure is.

Who?

Also I have a job in the wargaming community, we're not very well known yet, and CMON's employees joke around with us and say we make "that thur furry game" (said in a redneck accent).

I work in a warehouse... dont do it kids!

I worked in a specialist magazine warehouse when at Uni. By specialist that means softcore!

Best minimum wage job evar!

I'm a software developer. We make tools that other companies put in their products. If you've ever used a 'view as html' feature on an attachment in gmail, or hotmail, that's stuff I've worked on.

I work at the British Museum in London.

Not the one with the dinosaurs.

The pompous name is "Software Engineer". I worked these last 3 years (until this year's March) as IT Support together with other 30+ co-workers at the Portuguese "HQ" of a certain bank, originally from UK. Right now I'm "between" projects.

After finding out miniature wargaming, I started painting, and unlike video-gaming where I just blocked the world and any thoughts, I started thinking very seriously about life and how I want mine to be, since I absolutely hate my job.

So, currently I'm in a über-money-saving mode and studying how to open my own retail business because I'm considering opening up a FLGS

And yes, I'm fully aware a FLGS isn't all fun and games: Give me those 14hours+ work days, 7 days a week

My girlfriend works at the natural history museum, and keeps having to tell people where the mummies are.

Heh - never really figured it worked the other way too!

Music producer.



It's not the dream job you're looking for, kids.

Librarian hence my Dhaka title

I can't believe I'm the only teacher in here?

Not permanent, mind you, that could take me up to ten years of waiting for the phone to ring every morning, but still... I guess it'll be good when it finally happens.

Aside from that, my fiancee and I just bought a custom framing store last year. Retail is indeed very hard on the nerves.

Kalashnikov: Come on, mate, tell us who hired you!!!!

My degree is in English Education, and I have a license to teach it... I just didn't find a job in it

I work at a paint store and on the paint crew. I make your paint and I can paint your house as well, and then I go home and paint miniatures. I like paint.

this pays for a college biotechnology course.

^So you can develop nano-paints and bio-paints?

Not yet, but one day.

I'm working with a few other people on setting up a jewelry and publishing business.

Health Care Assistant on an orthopaedic ward, covering both trauma and electives. Just been confirmed that my name has been put forward to starting my nursing degree.

Congrats, hoping to work in the health care profession myself.

It's good, hard work and very rewarding. Can be hard on the body but worth it. Only yesterday got a whole bay of elderly women tell me what a handsome man I was, big ego boost which was needed after a week of hard work and little sleep. What area you thinking of going into?

Hoping to medicine at university and then either go onto become a G.P or work in the after care of stroke patients.

Web developer, here
