What do you do for a living?
Just tell us a basic description of what your job. Like what exactly your duties are or anything else you wish to tell.
I personally work as a custodian at my city's couthouse... which isn't anywhere near as bad of a job as it seems. It pays $14 an hour (in a place thats minimum wage is $7.50 an hour) with a 50 cent per hour raise every year & a half or so until it maxs out at $18 an hour & it isn't much work at all. All I do is change the trash, clean the male bathrooms (3 in total), sweep & mop the floors every evening (in addition to a bit of spot sweeping every hour or so) & order any supplies that the courthouse may need (like soap, toilet paper & such). The rest of the day I just chill in my office (IE... a tiny room with a telephone, tiny desk & computer *which is what I use to place orders... although I do tend to sneak on the internet for a few moments at a time
*) until I'm needed for something.

Part Time Job is yard-work. Wages vary.
It sucks.
"My living" would be Ian's job. He works for the mentally challenged. He goes there at 1pm and stays until 7am the next day, 7 days per 14-day period. He does whatever he might be needed for, which can range from cooking, cleaning, bathing people, walking them around town, making sure they get ready in the morning if they're part of a government program and have school or a job, preventing them from harming other people and/or themselves, preventing other people from harming them...
Each individual will have their own needs and behaviours, so the staff's assigned to a specific home with specific people (they're normal houses, with 2-3 clients living there as roommates, + as much staff as clients or more at all times). This way they get to know them well and the clients have a limited staff rather than tons of strangers.
It seems to be a stressful job, but he's not allowed to talk about the clients, so I only know the generals and nothing specific.
I realise it's not my job, but I felt silly writing a post that simply said "oh, I don't have a job". Plus it feeds me so it kind of qualifies.
*waits for flaming to commence*
Yeah because college is for the rich. I dont blame you for it. Education has been taken from the hands of the people and given only to the rich. No one can pay a college without taking student loans.
As for me im a Graduate student. And have less than one yr left. Im doing my internship in psychology in a women's jail. My job will be to evaluatre and assess and also give therapy whenever a problem arises and help in rehab programs.
I'm the computer technician on the building. My job is have the computers properly running (both the computers for youngsters' use and the computers for workers' use). I also usually am the teacher on the coumputer courses, and I keep an eye on the youngsters when they're playing PC LAN games or with the Wii. I also manage the multimedia material of the house (DVD players, projectors, speakers...) and help the youngsters when they want to use the recording room to record their music demos.
Besides that, although it isn't strictly my job, I also help the other workers with the bureaucratic job and other things within the building.
It isn't a hard job, at least not fisically, but now I'm on holidays and I love it. Many of the youngsters that are regular "customers" are a bunch of little bastards and it's a good thing not seeing them during a time.
I wouldn't say I do it "for a living", though (I live with my parents).
Anyway, next october I'm quiting that job. I'm going to another city to study a master's degree on videogame design and programming. I hope I'll find another job (anyway, I'll be content if I can re-take the same job I'm now...) when I finish the master... maybe in Telltale? It would be great, but I'm not sure I'll dare to go outside Spain.
Yup.
That sounds extremely interesting, actually. Are you enjoying it?
You actually have a pretty good job.. I was disappointed when I read that you were quitting
Oh god...
jk, jk
But I'm afraid I'm too homeland-loving and I won't dare to get a job that far from home, even if they really want to hire me. I'm scared to go study to another city on my own country, not to mention to go work to another country in another continent across the ocean!!
There's Pendulo Studios right in your home country.
Has it even aired yet? I only see in BoulderMedia's credit for CN is Foster's.
Its not aired yet but its called The Amazing World Of Gumball
I wasn’t with the studio then they worked on Foster's but I really wish I was! It was a really great show. I did get to work on an other show they did called El Tigre. It was an awesome show too but got cancelled after the season 2:mad:
Ditto. All my collegues are really nice people, there's only six of us so we're like a close-knit family. It's nice.
Why the unhappy face! I'd love to work at a stationers. I'm obsessed with stationary! I love looking at all the different pens and things, and always walk out with a new pen even though I already have quite a few...
Not working with the animals, though...classes are held there for children with learning difficulties. I work as an admisitrator for the youth team, producing classroom resources, supervising the kids etc.
i though your post said chickens with learning difficulties for a second!
Cool beans. I liked the artistic direction of that show.
ALL chickens have learning difficulties....
Liked?
Yeah it looks awesome but they keep changing the character models! It’s crazy I don’t think there is one episode that the main characters looks the same in! It’s just little things like the size or their ears or the lent of their tales but it makes it really hard to animate for because you never know how to draw the chanters!:p
Oh did you mean you liked the artistic direction of El Tigre?
Yeah, but the new show looks interesting as well!
The art direction for El Tigre was amazing! It was designed by Sandra Equihua and Jorge R. Gutierrez
I really enjoyed the show because it reminded me so much of Grim Fandango. The main character was even called Manny. It never even made it to Europe as far as I know. It’s a real shame because it won lot of awards... That’s nickelodeon for you. If a show doesn’t make as much money as SpongeBob the cancel it, even though SpongeBob did really bad for its first season
No, actually I'm unemployed. If I could choose any job I would choose one where I could draw for a living, like a concept artist or a comic book artist or an assistant to a mangaka. That or I would become a writer; I'm not sure. Working at McDonalds or MegaTechCorpOfficeCubicleSpaceGlobodineSkynetPlace never appealed to me much.
Yeah, still a shame that it was canceled. I actually enjoyed it.
I'm on a disability pension.
I'm studying programming, though. Once my mental problems lessen enough, I'd like to program games.
