I'm an electricians apprentice.
I pretty much do electrical bitch work for right now until I get my journeymans, but electrical bitch work is so fucking easy, I fell asleep one time looking for something to do. Then the rest of the time I get the one tool the dude I work with left down / up stairs. When I get bored I organize all the shit into a different looking neat pile, and then hang lights in a ceiling grid.
Then they send me home early because I was acting like I was doing something strenuous every time one of them walked by, and my boss likes me so I get a raise soon for being good at shit shooting.

Official title is Adventure Specialist. I run things like a climb tower, Dangle Quad [img]http://www.advexp.com/images/h_dangle_duo_lg.gif[/img] And ropes courses and stuff. I get paid to be on vacation and help people have fun or get scared shitless. I do this year round on weekends and now all day every day from 7am until ~8 pm.
My weekday job when school is in session, I work in the financial office making copies, buying things, faxing things, and doing office work.

I'm a Manager at Starbucks. I'm pretty much paid to be yuppie's bitch.
But I get paid vacation, stock options good benefits. Just most of the customers are assholes.

I work for VISA Europe in West London doing all kinds of shyt, sometimes it's pretty cool kus I get to talk to people in France & Greece etc. But usually I don't have much to do or I'm so I browse the forums & post random bs. Unfortunately the chat is down at the moment otherwise I'd be in there. I always thought I'd hate to work in an office, but after all the bullshyt jobs I've done as a student I've learnt to appreciate it. The offices I work in are very cool with slimline TV's & all sorts of hi tech gizmos. I want to try & get a full time job here as I'm only temping at the moment. I hear the project managers are on $600 a day, that's something I'd like to aspire to rock:
TBH I've done enough jobs, be it working at a bar, working for retail at next, working on a cruise liner & also manual labouring, all hard work for peanuts. I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather be on a beach or at a bar or in a club. Ergo I want to make as much money as a I can & then get the hell out of this work bs. beer:

Some of our friends at Five Guys across the street like to trade food for food. So he asked for a few deep deep fried oreos and a twinkie. So we HAD to make him a 'deep fried penis' with caramel topping, fudge topping, chocolate sprinkles and oreo crumbs for pubes.

Got this in return:

Apart from doing my multimedia degree I work in retail at the weekends.
Basically just serve customers, talk to damn sexy girl workmates and have a laugh with the lads that work there too. Its easy, the pay isn't great but I'm kinda happy. I have no responsibilities as I've turned down their offers of promotions as I don't want more stress for very little extra.
I see things as enjoy life while you're young, don't ever stressed about a shitty job and try to make people smile.
I see far too many people my age stressing about lack of money, limited job opportunities and lack of career progress. I just think that when you're young, you're generally always going to be skint so why worry, thats for when you're in your late 20s, early 30s..........enjoy the young life happy:
