Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Getting To Know the Community - What do you do for a living



Well I have had a few things change over the year. I am going to Southeast Tech in Sioux Falls, SD for marketing. I would like to find a job doing promotions for a sports team somewhere but we will see about that. I am still working at the same job. Check us out at Karl's TV, Audio, Appliances and Furniture.

Lately I have been installing appliances more than before. Last thursday four of us went out and installed a washer, dryer, 2 dishwashers, built in microwave, warming drawer, $7000 fridge and a $9000 range in a HUGE house overlooking the Missouri river.

I enjoy delivering and installing appliances because it gets me out of the warehouse and get to drive around a bit. It really isn't too tough but sometimes you have to take doors off fridges, doors off houses and still things barely fit it.
 
I do landscaping for a living, it's pretty fun i really enjoy the out doors so it actually works out great for me, and the guy is selling his business mowers,trucks,accounts, etc... so i may hop on that so by this time next year i could be running my own business
 
Currently in between jobs (damn economy). Thought I was safe working for one of the largest companies in the nation..apparently not..bankrupt :p. Have a couple interviews coming up this week though.
I also do alot of computer work and networking on the side, hoping to turn it into a business and make a living off it one day. If anyone on here ever needs any help PM me, if you're not local I can do remote work too.

For some odd reason I now have "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits stuck in my head. :th_laugh-lol2:

Honestly though, I wouldn't mind that job... I've spent the last 9 years in cubicle hell.
 
I've been a 3d artist (and animator) for over 10 years... currently I'm head of the creative department at a company making video games in Toronto.

Yes... I play and make video games for a living. :D

Cheers,
Chris

Okay, lets learn a little about each other. Post up what you do for a living. Just what you do, maybe a little info on that but no salaries and all that stuff.

I'll start.
I am a Senior Repair Technician for Verizon (Not Wireless thank you very much). Basically I work on thinks like credit card lines, ATM lines (so if you cant ever get money out of the ATM or run your credit card, I might be to blame). I also work on National Weather Service stuff, FAA and Railroad lines. I used to work with the routers, channel units and other networking gear, but I do my work remotely now and send people out if needed.

I've been in the same boat for awhile, try looking around lake county too theres a bigger job market out there, I've got an interview soon at some doctors office.
 
I'm a 22 year old from India with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, but I decided I'd rather be a pilot. So here I am in SoCal learning to fly and hopefully get a job in a major airline once I'm done.
