What do you guys do for a living? Do you enjoy it? If you're still in school what are you interested in?

I'm a grade 11 student right now, looking to get into powerselling on ebay (if my geographical location permits it). I'm interested in computer security, database administration or something along those lines. I plan on falling back on being a stunt double, body guard, being a personal trainer, or something else physically demanding.

I get money right now by selling D2 stuff to morons on ebay (over $1000 in the past 6 months, better than a real job where I live), and during the summer I might work as a monkey in the IT department for the company my dad works for.

I think the occupation was terrible, and the Cardassians should have stayed on their own goddamn planet instead of enslaving the Bajorans.

Sorta-student, I may go into the military, or I may persue an occupation in computers.

Student, currently pushing for a musical career as a DJ and producer for Electronic Dance Music, but as for anything else... It's kind of up in the air. It'll probably be in the electronics field though, I haven't really made up my mind yet. I'm currently also doing a bit of photography here and there as a small hobby.

$1k in 6 months is better than a 'real job'? I'm assuming part time since you're in 11th grade. I remember in 11th grade I worked at Chili's the restraunt and had around $2k in probably less than 6 months.

My net worth increased 1% between 9:30 ET and lunch, without doing a thing. The stock market is on a roll.

None of my friends make that much in 6months, they have part time jobs. The idea of a part time job is so that you work some of the time, not all of your free time, no one works over 5 hours/week.

lmao, I was just watching DS9 recently. Kira is hot, especially with that nose. :o

Anyway, I'm a student @ Arizona State University, majoring in Political Science (emphasis in Public Policy Analysis), minors in Psychology and Spanish. I work for the Parks and Recreation Dept. of the city I live in, which pays ~$12k/yr part-time, as well as officiate youth hockey for the Phoenix Ice Hockey Referees' Association, which is about $300-$400 cash monthly on average.

After college I hope to go into military intelligence doing international policy analysis.

You're right, CrAz3D, but it could also increase quadruple that in one-eighth of the time. It matters little, I think, what COULD happen, as opposed to what DOES happen.

Wow, I'm really surprised that not more of you are involved in a computer-related field or are studying to be a computer engineer/scientist. It seems the bnet crowd takes programming as much more of a hobby than I expected. Me, I'll be going to Rensselaer Polytechnic in NY starting this August where I will hopefully complete a dual major in ECE and CS. I don't mean to say that what you guys have chosen is bad or not cool, I just always felt the majority of you were obsessed with computers and would therefore pursue it as a career and not just a great hobby.
