I've also worked as a bus boy, oyster shucker, waiter, bartender, bar manager, catering manager, front desk manager, housekeeping supervisor, roustabout, grape picker, credit manager, youth hostel runner, youth hostel night manager, Bondo assembly line worker, pizza deliverer, pot dealer, landscaper and a few other jobs in between.

[The_Hook_Up]

I worked for 10 years as an High School Administrator/Athletic Trainer in Texas...I realized that I have given it 10 years and its wasnt doing anything for me, so I moved back to Memphis and opened up a beer store that ended with TONS of drama...then I farted around Europe for a bit and Shangri La Records(a store I had been a customer at since the 80s) gave me a job, so now I sell records and DJ to make ends meet...however, I am looking for a "real" job as I need health insurance and some more scratch to do things I wanna do. I applied at a 2 year college as a Gen Ed instructor, so maybe I can get that, if not, Ill just haveta send more resumes out I guess....

1) I hate my job but it pays the bills and got me my townhouse. I work for the FRB in Atlanta. Yeah I work the grave yard shift as a banker dealing with $$$.

2) some weekends I do Inventory for grocery stores around the southeast

3) Record gripping & flipping. I sell a little on ebay but the fees kill the profits and alot of stuff I find I don't like to sell.

4) finishing my MBA..thats it.

I program films for Maryland Film Festival (year-round) and the Baltimore Museum of Art (monthly series), write for Baltimore City Paper, and DJ from time to time.

Way back when, during the dot-com boom, I worked as a content director for a website. That's when I found SoulStrut.

Worked as a chef at a couple Michelin star joints in Napa for the last couple years. Also spent time cooking in Los Angeles and New Orleans for about three years before that. I'm leaving the kitchen life on Saturday, though, which will be my last day at my current job.

I'll be working in wine tasting rooms in the meantime, which means I'll be working days for the first time in about five years. I needed this for my sanity. As much as I love some of the people I've met in restaurants, I need to meet people outside of this business. It's about impossible when nights and weekends are locked down with work.

I'm thinking about getting my teaching credential, since I would like to teach English someday. California teachers holler with any advice.

Currently: part-time general accounting work (aka data entry aka boring-as-fuck) and traffic counting on occasion. Looking to do some tutoring as well. Too many loans and bills to pay!

In the future: Write, invest, and do other creative things like that.

[pjl2000xl]

im currently full time at caremark mail order pharmacy doing order entry. It sucks but it pays well.

I work for an NPR affiliate as a recording engineer and editor mostly on the weekends, but work from home at night a lot doing edits and prepping things for broadcast. I really like this job and just got a raise.

i also dj every other fri at a college bar. Not really feeling it as much as i used to but extra cash is always a good thing. And free drinks is a great thing.

i occausionly flip records on ebay but not serious about it.

and i make beats in my spare time and write/record songs with my roommate who plays geetar. Make no money doing that but i got a lot of inventory for when i seriously get my grind on. Which is coming very soon. I want to put out records on my own label and do that fulltime eventually.

 

[SPlDEY]

Network and Systems Administrator for a software company
I maintain servers for email, web, ftp, and file storage. I'm also responsible for the network, phone system, and security.

Computer Consultant
Once in a while I work as a consultant doing contract work. I don't really like doing consulting that much as you have to work all over the place but getting paid $100 or more an hour is nice.

DJ once in a while. Making money isn't what drives me to DJ though.

Started selling records recently. Mostly so that I can turn around and buy more records.

I used to do admin work, talk about lonely computer time. I'd be on aim all day nerding out.

Right now I'm a Freelance Computer Tech. I've basically been doing this on and off since 2001. It's great, because I work when and where I please with no boss harping over me, and all it takes is word of mouth, and some business cards to get my name out there. I get overpaid mostly under the table work. The downside is when it comes to finding a "REAL" job. It looks like I've just been unemployed. I hope I don't get audited.

I assemble, package, and ship Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Pussy kits.

It pays better than I would have thought and it's the most laid back place I've ever worked. Right now, I can clock in or out whenever I feel like it and I can work as many hours as I please. Plus I've got my Christmas list almost completely covered this year.

well currently I am writing news specials so I'm not really working in reality show scenarios currently. But yeah as a reality writer you write the scenarios down, the peope adlib they're way through it. Sometimes they are told what to bring up or to say something interesting.

Don't ever think reality TV is reality though, its just a cheaper way of making a program.
