What does everyone do for a living?

[Artemis]

I...can now say, I work at a Photography studio and am an assistant/assistant wedding photographer w000t..,..although I havent actually started yet

 

[lilithvalentine]

I'm not doing any paid work at the moment, though i write for a webzine from time to time, and well I have my photography and web design. I'm very lucky that my husband told me to take this year off and relax (he loves me enough to care more about my mental health and physical health than living a life with two incomes).

When we move to aussie i'm getting back into my chosen profession.. radio I went to a 1 year broadcasting school (got invited back to the school now they've made it a 2yr course, only problem is money). Radio is a big passion of mine. i'm lucky that i've got a number of area's i could go into.. advertising (not just in radio), on air co-hosting (cos i hate talking to myself lol), promotions, admin, or Programme Director.

If raido doesn't work out i'm heading over to newspaper/magazine work because my other passion in life is journalism

Air Traffic Control System, Subsystem, and Equipment Repairer. Like most electronics technicians, I basically sit around drinking coffee until the air traffic controllers break something or forget that they have to flip the O.F.F. switch into the "on" position to get the electronic discombobulator to work. Occasionally, I get pulled from my extremely stressful job to go do something fun, like go to the firing range. That's invariably when all hell breaks loose back at the shop, further detaining me from my coffee enjoyment practices.

Well you can take a hint from my usename that I am a fireman. I used to call myself a part time fireman full time traveller. But now that I own a house and my fiance lives with me, the travelling has reduced immensely.

First I am father to 2 beautiful daughters (Jessa, and Eva)

Serving my 6th year in the Army national guard of California

Other than that I work for Technicolor. It is the motion picture industry and I am a quality control operator. Basically the film is brought in from wherever (new movies come from the lab, older titles from archives all over). The film is transfered to High Definition video, then I watch the full feature and note every piece of dirt on the film, address any color correction errors and I also note video errors and illegal standards for broadcast. Then the video goes to another guy who cleans out the dirt (frighteningly similar to PS clone tool).

***carreer highlight*** I got a credit in the Elvis 68 comeback special hahaha

 

[Shutterbug]

I am a photographer!!! I currently shoot wine and other tabletop product work, some senior portraits and whatnot, and whatever else I can do in my bedroom.

I've just been offered an assistants job by former National Geographic Photographer Chuck O'Rear, too, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna take it.

 

[Middlemarch]

I have worked as a painter, pizza-maker, youth center coordinator, and now am a tenured college professor (which is still very strange to say).

Most importantly, I am a father -- our daughter is three, and we have a son on the way. Photography seems like a great way to pursue an interesting hobby and spend time with my family (unlike golf, writing, woodworking, and recording music -- each of these include too many "shut the door, I'm busy" moments).

I was a professional counselor - that's how I met JonMikal. Now, I am a stay-at-home mom and continue "working" with JonMikal (so he doesn't have to go back to the institution). :mrgreen: :lmao:

 

[pianoman12]

I am a student and beleave me it is a full time job

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

I own a small heating and air conditioning business., pays the bills, and my crew keep busy so I have some freedom.

I made 50 bucks once on a picture i took! so I guess I am semi pro! lol

The problem with being relatively new to a forum is that you read a thread that's like a million years old, but you still want to participate...so I shall revive this thread to tell all those who are interested what I do.

Currently, I work for NASA. I work at Headquarters in Washington, DC in the Office of Legislative Affairs. For now, the biggest part of my job is answering constituent mail. I also do some outreach work, and soon (no date yet) I will be doing the outreach part full time and the letter writing part none of the time.

I'm always looking though, and have a few applications out there. So if your hiring, let me know

 

[jocose]

But I've also worked in a Bakery, a chocolate shop (yum!), a balloon decorating shop, a doctor's surgery, on a boat, in an aquarium, a tour business, a coffee shop, also walking around delivering flyers (yuk!). So very varied - but I loved all my jobs - except the coffee shop and flyers.

What kind of a boat?

I, too, have had many, many, many jobs throughout the course of my young life. One of them was working on a cruise ship.

 

[Mansi]

well im just a student for now... studying graphics/animation/film et all

cant wait to grad from design school and then dump it all and head to where i want to be!
thats it for now...

 

[woodsac]

I'm a salary guy :er: Boring stuff. I work for a contractor at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, CA. How would like to answer your phone like that everytime?

Titles aren't all that special, they just make you sound important. From the base, I am the - China Lake Receiving Officer...or...through my company - Supply Department Traffic Supervisor? In english, I run the shipping and receiving departments for the Navy here at China Lake. I supervise 10 employees.

Once you have a title, that just makes you the one that everyone points fingers at when something goes wrong. (until I point at one of my employees :mrgreen:
