Jobs

Hey, i just wanted to open a thead to talk about jobs. What (parttime) job do you guys have? And what do you get paid? I don't have one.

[TreasureBox Films]

I work at Chik-fil-a. My title is "gofer".

[KMProductions]

I don't actually have a job but I do enough freelance video stuff to make the money I need. I'm still in school so I don't have a house payment or food costs. So for now it gives me some money to buy useless stuff.

[ZombieGorePrincess]

I'm between jobs at the moment. I used to work at Wal-mart and I'm waiting until after the holidays to apply for something else. strange how I always seem to get hired in retail. but sadly that means I've been having to stay with my parents until I can start making money again. ugh.

How do you work as a freelancer and make money?

[Steelersk36]

Im a cashier at Price Chopper. Not a bad job at all to work after school and weekends-recommended to those of us in the North East.

[Poppyl90]

I work at Bull Moose. For those of you who do not know what it is, it's a music store. I think its only located in Maine and New Hampshire, not sure though.

Freelance doesn't mean you do it for free. It means that you work for yourself and not a company. Therefore you are free to work when you want, how often you want, and on what you want. I'm not professional or anything, I just do stuff here and there.

[atomic9studios]

I work behind the electronics counter at Costco.

35% diiiissscount!

Off of a D90....

I work at a grocery store called winco foods. I get to walk around all day collecting shopping carts from the parking lot and talking them into the store.

I've been volunteering here for the couple weeks, I don't get paid, but I really enjoy it.
I just turned sixteen in september, and I've wanted to get a job, but honestly I'm not sure what places drug test.

As of late I don't have a job, but by march I do plan on getting a job at a snow cone shack where one of my friends work, then during the summer, I'm going to audition for Sea World's Hallow-Scream, where I'll either be a monster actor, or do the makeup for the actor's, maybe both.

[MitchellStafiej]

I don't make money from my films. I shoot weddings, commercials, EPKs, and other things. Look up "freelance". I don't think you actually know what it means.

[evmo]

Other than my paper route I don't have one, I will be working at a BSA summer camp this summer that I have been to too many times. I also work at a comercial farm polonating, which is basically making corn have sexy time romance.

[Poppyl90]

I hate working with little kids so any type of counselor or teacher isn't the job for me.

[yugosaki]

I work as a night shift security guard. Rent-a-cops for the win!

Easy money with lots of free time during my shift.

[sonnyfromda02]

I used to have part time jobs. I used to have a part time job at Target, at EB Games, and at a horse track near where I live.

[HunnyBunchFilms]

Over the summer I was doing some freelance commercial videography. But now I'm teaching an after school video production class at Columbia Secondary School (its a middle school for gifted kids). It's not a bad gig and its going to look great on my resume.

[Sacman]

I am a production supervisor on 3rd shift at a small (50 employees) manufacturing company. We make corrugating plastic piping. I make a good living.

Before that I worked for another manufacturing company called Woodbridge Foam. I was there for 11 years and did everything from Quality Control to Sales.

Before that I waited tables at Red Lobster for a couple of years.

Before that I was a Naval Nuclear Power Plant operator on board first the USS Bainbridge (guided missle cruiser) and just before I got out I spent a year on the USS Enterprise.

Before that I did what all teenagers do and worked fast food at McDonalds.

[blitzkrieg]

Way back when, I worked as a ticket taker at a movie theater. Got to see all the great films of the late 70's before the general populace. Woot!

Real jobs are like this:
Joined the Navy out of college as a ship driver and ROTC intructor at VMI,
came home and drove a truck for a shipyard,
Got a job teaching video production,
shot & edited weddings, commercials, instructional video on the side,
got another job editing at a local production facility. When the facility went belly up,
was tired of the video thing and went into web design and development,
did a stint as a reservist in the sand,
now teach computers and video at a school in N'Awlins...

Bottom line, feed yourself and your family but don't stress on making gobs of cash. Do what you enjoy. I like making films when it's NOT a job! I like playing with computers and I actually like teaching these young skulls full of mush!

[yugosaki]

Jobs I have held:
-Construction site clean up (eurgh)
-Intern at a ventilation engineering firm
-cabinet maker

-Technical support
-Senior IT guy (same company as above)

and now I do Security. I seems to change careers alot.

[Sacman]

Just Kidding!!!!

HAHA! I've never heard it put that way before.

I used to work at a local diner the summer after I graduated from HS. I hate to say it, but I thank God that it closed down near the end of summer. it was the summer I realized that not only CAN'T I work with food for long periods of time, but also confirmed my suspicion that my body really can't tolerate grese at all. It was a greasy spoon type place where everything was either fried on a grittle or deep fried. it also didn't help that I could smell the gas coming from the burners. I've always been able to smell the kind of gas that they claim is "odorless" I saved my whole family when there was a gas leak in our gas powered fireplace when I was 12. no one could smell it but me.

but anyway. needless to say I was phycially and violently sick every single day and night I worked there. :supermad:Gene's Cafe.:supermad:
