Med stoodint by day (on holidays now)

Write porn to finance it... yes you heard me i WRITE porn. You get payed a pretty decent sum for the amount of work you actually have to do.

I write and direct play's as a hobby (no shakespear or porn). I could get payed for it but mostly i end up covering the losses from my own pocket :rolleyes:

I have also have had non interesting jobs as an Assistant Manager of a warehouse, weighing trucks at a construction material recycling site etc.

And more interesing jobs as a boxer (dont get payed much here in finland for zhat) and financing it as a bouncer at a gaybar. Rarely had any disturbance at the bar but i kept breaking myself way too often in the ring. I still get cronic pain in my nose, left and right shoulder and right elbow because they broke or dislocated themselves a few too many.

I guess i spilled most of my work history here.

Awk

eBusiness manager.

P.S. OMG I wish I was still at University able to play online games all day - All I could play was endless and endless hours of Civ 1 on my Amiga (I know, shut up OK...I know better now). I *really* envy you students. 9 hours of lectures a week is hard isn't it? :p

EDIT: Btw, does this mean that come September when all you students go back to Uni/College the servers will empty? Sobering thought.

I aggree, and school isnt as easy as it was a while ago (thank god too, Id get bored if it was just 9 hours) Projects at my school take up a ton of free time (try animating 4 different cells of animations, with totals of up to 500 frames a piece [thats 250 hand drawn images, "shot" twice"]) Believe me, it adds up.

Got the degree (associates = 2yrs) in "Applied Science of Computer Programming and Data Processing."
Got a job 2 months later working in a parts department at a boat marina.
I was putting their 380000 in stock parts into thier new computer systems point of sale / inventory module. Joy.
I worked there for 8 years and picked up tons of skills. I use them in my new job at another marina. Still work here after 5 years.

My best job description however is "secretary".
My business cards say, "Administrative Coordinator" which means I'm a secretary that works in parts, files bills, pays bills, registers peoples boats with the state, works on the companies computers, answers phones...

Yeah, a secretary.
What did I learn in college? Yeesh. I should have joined the Army.
