I always seem to be so interested in how every makes a living, if they do. So I thought why not make a thread about it? I feel it's a fun topic to share and discuss if you like your job at all lol. Making this thread via my iPhone though so please forgive any mistakes. So.... How do you bring home the bacon? :eusa_danc I work at a crisis unit for children six to seventeen whose living situation need improvement. Maybe they have suicidal ideations and their guardians don't know how to address the situation. Maybe they have anger issues or have destructive behaviors. They stay with us until we find them a place they should be. We're a small home only taking up to ten kids. They meet with our therapists who decide what happens to them and we do group therapy activities with them in the morning and at night.
I'm in school right now, but I work part-time on the weekends in a group home for people with developmental disabilities. The guys at the house I'm at right now are actually really independent (i.e. they ride the bus by themselves, have girlfriends, do chores, some go to work, etc.), so there's no real personal care to do outside of cooking meals for them, which I enjoy doing. I pretty much get to chill with them for 7-8 hours at a time and get paid higher than minimum wage for it. Pretty win-win. Now, over the holidays I'm picking up shifts at other houses, so I'm gonna be giving baths and cleaning up after people... not fun. But money is money.
I'm also in school right now, but I work part-time at my university's tutoring center, tutoring math. It can be a tiring job, but the work is generally satisfying, and can be really enjoyable depending on the tutee I'm tutoring. Plus it's helped me get the material in my early math courses down solid because I see it and help people with it over and over again.
I've got a part-time job at the local public library. Just 8 hours a week and I'm still on a 3-month probationary salary but it's working out alright. I'm able to cover what's left of my college tuition after government loans take the big chunk out.
I'm in college as well. I work at my college's on campus production facility and I also direct newscasts at my college campus's student television station.
Nifty jobs guys! I love cooking dinner for the kids and love that they can take care of their hygiene and stuff. My favorite part is that we mostly just sit and watch movies on my shift. I'm gonna start carting into Christmas movies soon.
I write for a sports site and I tutor at my university. They're both pretty good, though I've come in contact with some rather strange people at my latter job (one creepy student talking to himself about WWE wrestling as I'm explaining something, to name one example).
No bacon-bringing for me. Although I did have an internship over the summer, but I used that to save for college, which I guess indirectly brings home a little bacon.
A lot of my job is note keeping and part of the notes are sleep logs. I get off at eleven on Saturday nights and have to come back on at 7 Sunday morning. Right now I'm writing asleep, asleep, asleep and all i want to do is BE asleep
During middle school and high school, I worked after classes and on the weekends. When I got to college, I worked 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, then went to classes in the evenings. I just transferred to a different school, so when I'm home I still work at the same clinic I have for 8 years, but when I'm up at college I'm at the local Humane Society. I'm a vet tech, so animal hospitals and shelters are my zone. My job can be incredibly tough, but I love it more than anything.
I bake doughnuts and other bakeries commercially My real profession is tattoo artist though, but the studio I worked in went bankrupt because the boss was too greedy. I stay far from tattooing for now; bakery's more stable anyway.
Still in high school. But I volunteer at a hospital for the medical program that I'm in, if that counts as anything!
I'm a software engineer. I am working in software development now, but most of my experience is in systems engineering and operations. I miss the operations part and am looking to get back into it.
Still in high school so I work part-time at a movie theater. I like the people I work with and it's pretty easy. Hours a little weird sometimes with midnight openings and stuff, but I have fun doing it and I get into movies free . Has nothing to do with my ideal career after college though lol (astronautical engineer).
I am an IT Manager and I have a business on the side selling software and equipment. I started my business when I was 18 year old. Best thing I ever did.
