Dunkee · 07-12-2007, 10:09 AM

What do you do?! I'm an IT tech and I can't see myself doing it anymore. I'm ok at it but just have zero interest w/ pursuing it. I would love to find a new career but kinda hit a slump. I really gotta put things in motion though bc I'm not getting any younger! I'm curious to how everyone else is living..and if you know of a way (LEGAL) to make buku bucks spread the wealth!

**ThatGuy** · 07-12-2007, 10:11 AM

I am!

s13silvia03 · 07-12-2007, 10:19 AM

I hated my job, I walked out on them when they wouldn't let me go see my mom in the hospital after I found out she had a heart attack...it was an easy job, doing data entry, no one to really boss me around, night shift sucked, about 12 hours a night sucked too...Have yet to find anything new though, still looking for something because I pretty much ran out of money now...

89dc240 · 07-12-2007, 10:20 AM

I like my pay. My job right now is about fifty feet from the job I was trained for. (working on Harleys) Now I rent them and sell the safety course. I get to deal with customers, and new riders and people who think they know everything all day long. I know what it means to be in a job where you don't like what you're doing, even though the pay is ok. I hate it. You know, except for the paycheck. They keep moving me around back and forth between working on bikes, renting bikes, and random shyte like painting and tiling. I learned a lot at this job, lol. The only thing is if I leave I'll take a drastic paycut. Who wants that?

But I'm also with ya on the not gettin any younger. I want to change it up. Auto body, auto glass, they're things I could see myself doing. Of course if they put me back in the shop soon enough I'll love my job again, and still be getting paid so it'll probably be good for me to wait it out.

Oh, plus I get discounts on all kinds of stuff for my Quad, and my drag harley. Its all a matter of weighing the benefits versus the actual work. Good luck.

iPurple_Misfit! · 07-12-2007, 10:27 AM

I am a billing clerk and also do a/r data entry. My job is easy unless i get customers who dnt wanna cooperate with me! Otherwise i like my job. and i like the people i work with. As for pay, well im never broke.So its good for me!!!

Enjin · 07-12-2007, 10:29 AM

I love my job. I sell drugs. I love working all day in a confined space.

pharmacy baby! it is really laid back most of the time, the pay is great, the people I work with are intelligent enough to carry on good conversations, but are down to earth enough that I say, "check out that chick... 2 oclock" they are like DYAAAAAAM SON!"

I would do it for the rest of my life if I didnt want more money.

Dunkee · 07-12-2007, 10:31 AM

@ ThatGuy...why? Why are you so happy? What do you do and how'd you get into it?

@ s13..get that money. Having no money sucks!

@ 89d dude I feel you. I would like to do some autobody..I have no experience but I think it's something I'd enjoy doing. I just don't want a paycut. I make decent money right now and work is a breeze but not going anywhere so I need to either look for a more intense job paying 20k more or switch it up and do something completely different.

I need to see the light to job happiness..

just gotta do it for you.So just do it.

I do..I just wish I had direction. I'm looking into autobody but would love it to be my business..but I have no experience so no idea how I'ma pull that one off. I see myself doing it though. Or maybe open up a parts store.

azndoc · 07-12-2007, 10:52 AM

I love my job. I work with my favorite uncle and we pretty much hang out all day and do what we have to do to make money and I go home.

I did have another job but I quit that one three weeks ago.

Now I don't know what to do with my afternoons anymore.

Farzam · 07-12-2007, 11:06 AM

My sister's a pharmacist. She makes decent bank.

You should look into it I suppose.

Howard92884 · 07-12-2007, 11:11 AM

I work for KBR in Iraq as a mechanic, pay is good, get 3 square meals a day, and a roof over your head. Got internet in my room and satellite so it keeps me sane. I go home 3 times a year for about 15 days each. Its not too bad, paying off my bills and saving some money. I just applied for the Recovery Mechanic Foreman position so wish me luck!

Dunkee · 07-12-2007, 11:40 AM

Sounds cool man..Good luck w/ that!

I am a US Marine. Have been for almost 9 years now. I got in to it by realizing I wasn't ready for college straight out of highschool, but I didn't want to be a house bum and mooch off my parents. So i followed in my father's footsteps and signed my name on the dotted line. That was 1998. I am now an Instructor, teaching young Marines how to repair Electronics on the MV-22B "Osprey" Tilt-Rotor aircraft.

I am, by-no-means, pulling in "bank". The Military is the sole income in my house, and I'm getting ready to be blessed with my 4th child this Christmas. So, while I may not "baller" I am very happy with my job, and my life.

delphis · 07-12-2007, 02:56 PM

I enjoy 2 out of 3 jobs that I have. I work for my friend at his record store and am his personal assistant along with doing studio work I pull down a decent amount a month so I am pretty happy with what I do. I also do club and rave events and that makes me a little extra money. my other job is working at an online record store but it isn't that great but I do enjoy the great conversations I have with my coworkers.

DUFFM4N · 07-12-2007, 03:07 PM

i enjoy my job for the most part

-mon-fri. 10-6
-sit at my desk/computer all day answering phones taking orders
-i can wear wutever i want
-piercings and tattoos are fine
-paid lunch
-leave whenever i want
-i can smoke in my office

the only complaint i have is that they dont pay me on time...usually 2-3 sometimes 5 days late

bamaboy · 07-12-2007, 03:27 PM

i Love My Job!!!!!!!!

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 07-12-2007, 03:40 PM

work is okay. i'm a co-op for a civil/cunsulting engineering firm. it's no fun doing things engineers get $40/hour to do for less than half of that, but it's better than nothing. the best thing is that this firm is really relaxed, so i can wear whatever i feel like to work and i can come in whenever i feel like because it's open 24/7/365; as long as i get my work done.

broken_s13 · 07-12-2007, 03:40 PM

Ive been working at a shop as a tech for over a year and a half. I enjoy working on cars but getting paid 9 an hour for doing motor swaps, manual conversions, alignments, Ect has made me hate my job.

DJ_Sunrise · 07-12-2007, 03:52 PM

I work at a toyota dealership at the mechanics parts counter in NJ. I started here working 4-9 basically only handing out oil changes and tires. At 5 oclock I am the only one here.. School ended in may and I have been full time ever since. $10/hr.. I like the job. Most of the time after 5 I'm not busy and have time for school work. It's enough to get me by with $200 - $250 a week if I work a saturday. Tough to pay for the engagement ring, gas, insurance, cell phone, etc. on this money.. Buy this is the first job I'm not loosing my fucking mind in a matter of months... I'm happy with the job, just not the pay.

Kaotik25 · 07-12-2007, 04:06 PM

I have an office job, mostly small researches and data entry. I love the people here, and i love the pay but jeebus it's boring here at work. Im on zilvia from 9-5 everyday. That's it i'm going back to school and get a master.

240sx_sr20det · 07-12-2007, 04:22 PM

Landscaping and Factory Connections Suspension for me. Pretty easy jobs, both pay well too!

*ManoNegra* · 07-12-2007, 04:37 PM

Inquiring minds do want to know, I would love to get paid for this lol

Edgar · 07-12-2007, 05:04 PM

I wont lie I actually for the first time can say that I love my job.

Started this June and like any other job, at the end of the day I feel great that I have helped someone. I am a Interpreter/Translator for www.clarian.org
at Riley,IU,and Methodist Hospital. My days to work are Sunday 10:15AM till 6:45PM and Mon thru Wendsday 8:30AM - 5:00PM. When school starts in August ill only be working there 3 times a week Sun-Tuesday since ill be doing 15 credit hours. I enjoy helping people out. I also work for the YMCA part time but I just now pick shifts up. Im taking a month off since I just started this job at the Hospital and ive been picking up more shifts. I enjoy what I do and I think it wont change since I feel good helping others out.

SiI40sx · 07-12-2007, 05:31 PM

I think with any job its not the actual job that you should worry about liking, but the employees in it. They're the ones who make or break the job. You can be making bank, and have the easiest job ever, but if your co-workers are assholes on a daily basis, I bet you wont last long.

As for me I like my co-workers, especially my supervisor. She's probably the best one I've ever had. So yes, I like my job.
