Your current job/career
 
What is your current job and how much are you making an hour?

I currently work at JFK for 40 hours a week plus overtime.

I work as an internet shill. I weasel my way into online communities of varying types and sneakily attempt to sway opinions on different products. I also write a lot of fake reviews for products on websites to artificially boost scores/product review averages. 8)

Sounds like an interesting career field. How does one go about getting in on that?

I also work with computers. I'm a computer operator for a large, Arkansas based department store chain. From 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM 3 nights a week I make sure that certain processes run correctly. It takes about 5 minutes out of every hour, thus I have 55 minutes every hour to sit here and watch videos and type messages like this one. it's kinda dull, but hey it pays the bills...barely. I say that because I need to switch insurance plans. Right now I pay almost $800 a month. I'm hoping to cut that down by a couple hundred.

I'm not employed at the moment though I'm trying to become an online tutor. Hey, it'll put my degree to use, and that's what I really want.

Screenwriter. Currently getting my first web-series produced. Also working as 1st AD on the production.

Not getting paid a lot, barely covers the bills (we don't have a huge budget or anything), but hey, this thing is gonna get recognized here in Sweden, so hopefully it will open up for bigger and better opportunities.

I am the Assistant Superintendent on a High end Private golf course in PA. I am pretty much in charge of everything on property except inside the clubhouse. I manage the golf course, tennis, pool, paddle ball courts, clubhouse grounds and all native areas.

Pay is OK at the moment, but has the potential of being very good when I become a Superintendent.

I'm a test technician at an X-ray machine factory. Been there 22 years and get a decent salary. The overtime I got recently helped.

Before that I was an arcade game machine repairman, and you'll never guess what the most popular arcade game was at the time.

Any chance we'll see you being berated by Gordon Ramsey in the future? :P
