Air Force CETECH, day to day is fairly mundane, just keep the electronic surveillance gear (RADAR etc) running, but full time job involves setting up and maintaining no fly zones etc, and getting the wonerful job of first into hot zones a lot of the time. Woo hoo.... lol. :/

Im a student who works at a car detailer as assistant manager of teh detail department. It's ok, though my main boss is anal-retentive and he makes me do pointless shit.

Got asked to leave my current emplyment today,


Slack assed bloody student!

Forget about Retial though, NEVER GO BACK!
Its simply not worth the stress and low pay rates.

Instead get your HT license (no idea what they call it in Aus) and come join me and Mr T driving trucks. A friday/sat job on a bread or milk run should net you $2-300 a weel depending on hours and how hard you want to work, and over the summer its easy to earn at least $100 a day just relief driving.

Either that or go find work in your prefered field.

i work for a law firm. i do data entry. software updates, hardware inventory, supplies for IT. blah blah blah blah blah

Currently in school right now with no job. Will be dropping out of this school and getting a job for the next 9 months. Next fall (hopefully) going to a tech school to become auto technician. with a degree!

Sorry to hear about your predicament OZ, hope you find something better.

I gave myself the title “Senior Guy in a Cube” but the company gave me a card with senior software engineer on it. So I guess that’s what I do. I seniorize software.

I am an administrative assistant at a law firm. For my first 9.5 years here I was on the road alot, using my car, picking up delivering anything and everything related to client cases (accident reports, insurance checks, medical records, etc etc etc) and also made runs out to our satellite offices. That put 35-40000 miles a year on my cars, however I got paid mileage and I didn't ahve to claim it on my taxes :D A year and a half ago, the big boss decided to take me off the road. So now I do alot of work under his assistant, mostly filing misc papers or data entry. I am also managing our offsite files records. Nothing glamorous, but the bosses are great, and I get along with all my other coworkers, and we have decent benefits. I also do freelance graphic design work on the side, although I haven't taken on any new projects in awhile since I've been busy with wedding planning and all the settling in that comes with marriage :D

Oh, now I only put 8k-10000 miles on the car a year now :D

Got asked to leave my current emplyment today, so I guess I'm ineligible to answer this. Think I'm gonna go have a beer....:(:(:(Damn. :( What happened Oz??

I was working heaps of shifts in what was initially supposed to be 2-3 days a week (8-15 hours). Like 5-6 days a week 30+ hours. They just hired a bunch of juniors and arseholed me with 0 days notice. Just came up to me at the end of my shift yesterday and said 'bring your uniform back for your deposit' after the 'there's no easy way to say this' talk. :( And I'm trying to study for exams in one and three days time. Really hating life at the moment. :(

awww that sux :( Just try and focus on your exams and sort everything else out later.

Feeling for ya Oz. You'll be right bro.

My field of work is Accounting though ;)

Accounting = ewwww

I work for an online company. I really don't do anything but hang out on these boards and surf the internet.

I actually had to do a ton of work to get where I am. It's true. The more you make, the less you do.

hahaha, yeah, me too. i get everything i need to, done, but i'm on boards all day long...paying bills, AIM, etc. i think that as long as your work's done, there's no harm.

Sales Coordinator for an auto/heavy industry parts company.

What Daves mean to say is that he sits on his arse all day and drinks coffee while trying to stalk people into buying stuff for their trucks. Right Dave?

I think a sales coordinator is some one who TELLS someone ELSE HOW TO stalk people into buying stuff for their trucks. But they so sit on their ass all day ;)

I work at a Shaws supermarket! :biggrin: :rolleyes: :disappoin :(

I'll have my Associates this spring, then... more school maybe? I don't know. It's all really depressing if you aren't sure what you want to do. It's an interesting little situation I've come across in my researching future possibilities: There are SO MANY books written on dealing with the teen years, midlife crisis, retirement, etc. But there is a surprising void in the material about what is probably the TOUGHEST time in a person's life- the Twenties. At 22, I (like many here, I'm sure) am staring down the deep, dark well of what to make of the next 50 years of my "professional" life. I have neither the simplicity and protection of the grade school years, nor the wisdom and experience of the older years to aid me. I know, somehow, things usually tend to "pan out" in some way, but I'm still nervous nonetheless. And what does "panning out" mean for me? Of course I want to marry, and have children and whatnot, but I also want to have the ability to pursue my dreams.

The goal is not to have one, and "make due" with the other, the goal is to have both. I'm not above thinking compromises (might) have to be made, but to what degree :uhoh:

Both wrong. People come in and beg me for stuff for their trucks/cars. Or call me.

i go to a small college in california where there are tons of rich kids. last year my roomate and i started a company where we pick up their laundry and we take it to a place that washes and folds it and we bring it back. These idiot students are charged 15 bucks a bag - you could do yourself on campus for 2.50. horray for rich kids; they are funding my extracurricular activities, my frisbee team and my vehicle!

I work in the shipping department of a software company. I also do freelance computer and home theater work.
