Right now, I am a Compensation Analyst at a worldwide logistics company.

I have a Master's Degree in Industrial / Organizational Psychology.

I have applied to a PhD program in Organizational Development and am hoping to get in.  If accepted, I would start Fall 2009.

If I get a PhD, I would like to be a Professor at the Master's level.  I would also like to be an Organizational Development Consultant.

I am an Assistant Vice President at M&T Bank (one of the top 20 banks in the US), I manage a small team of programmers and still am able to do a bit of programming myself to keep from going crazy while I am there.

College student. I would love to get a job though, but I haven't had much luck so far.

I am a Foreman at the Alton & Southern Railway.   Maintaining & building railroad tracks.

I am store manager for two CD Tradepost locations in Omaha Nebraska. We buy sell and trade CDs, DVDs, and Video Games. It is a dream job for me being able to work with all the products I love and listening to music all day. The pay is pretty nice too.

 :laugh:

I've now got a voluntary job working with the maintenance team at the Oxford college my mum works at. :) There aren't many jobs going around now and I've been out of work for a long time, which would make it harder for me to get a job. If I do some voluntary work the college doesn't lose anything and I can put on my CV that I've done some work recently. This job is really just to get me back into the routine of normal work. Since I've left school I've only had jobs a few days a week for short hours. Last time I worked an eight hour day was when I was 15.

This job is 8am to 4pm and the commute is an hour drive. That means I have to be up at 5:45am. :( Luckily I started on Wednesday rather than Monday. That gave me the weekend to recover, instead of a full week of hard work.

I'm doing general maintenance work. On the first day I knocked down a wall board thing, like plaster board but more like stone, under a window in a small alcove, so only a few square feet. I did some painting on Thursday and on Friday I spent four hours sanding down a park bench in the college gardens. It was really peaceful there, away from the buildings and by the river. I lost my enthusiasm after three hours of rubbing, though. When you're not used to exerting yourself it hurts the first few times you do.

It sounds like your job is quite diverse. :)

But sanding something down is really annoying. I did my bed last summer and even though it took me only 2 days, I was really glad when it was over. ;)

Whatever happened to jackttt?

No idea. He hasn't been here for 2 months. A bit strange, because he was quite active at some point.

Let's hope nothing bad happened. :(

This souds kind of like my job, well... except for the "large" part. I help customers, order, ship, deliver, pick-up, bitch and cruz the net while doing the above.

Sears... Hardware Dept

But mainly I'm a university student :)

I'm a security contractor at Fort Knox, a games associate at gamestop, and a volunteer fire fighter.

I bet we've run into each other quite a bit and didn't know it.  I'm a cultural resource contractor at Knox and am constantly going in and out the gates...plus I visit every game store in Radcliff, E-Town, and every other small town around there.  Unfortunately, I don't get to work on Knox as much as I used to.

I'm a driver for an errand service in Lincoln, NE. We do things like personal shopping and the like, it's pretty cushy and when I'm not out on a job I can just sit around and play video games or watch TV or whatever, as long as I answer that phone when it rings.

When I joined RFGen I was still working as a web designer for an educator professional development center. I got laid off shortly after GWB got "re-elected" and, after a 4 year stint in a variety of positions at the now defunct CompUSA, I moved on to a PC reclamation company. After fixing like 3000 laptops of various makes and models over the course of 3 months, I was officially/unofficially promoted to leading the Specialized Technicians, Production Technicians, OS image creation, Server environment, and production network. After 1 week of mind-boggling stress I bailed out. I now work as a field technician at a university. It is choice. I love it.

PC tech

I'm a Combat Medic for the US Army.

Neat, I don't think I can compete with that.

I am nothing. :P

Currently studying my last year at university. In september I'm starting as a junior auditor at a CPA firm. :)

Thank you for your service.

I second that

Thank you Gents. It's an honor. I enjoy what I do.

Thank you. A very good friend from high school was a medic in the Army as well. His service is done now, but it was always good to hear from him in Iraq. Always had some interesting stories when he came back.

My cousin also served in the Marines in Iraq, so it's always good to hear of those who make sure that everyone is able to make it home.

ASE and state certified Automotive Technician for 5 years. I work 60 hours a week and love every minute of it! I get paid to do what I love and work with some if the greatest people, what more could I want.

Plus as the most awesome gift ever given to a man I work with my girlfriend. Yes she works on cars and is very cute and funny. And no we never get sick of each other.

Was In army Airborne Infantry
Then I built swimming pools
Now I accept donations at goodwill

Work for a company that Shreds documents, and preps/scans documents.

Call me cynical, but I have the feeling that might change, should you get hitched.  :P

As for myself: I work the cash office of a grocery store. It basically involves adding cash to the checkstands before the place opens, counting the take from the day before, and accounting for everything in the safe.

It's only part-time, but I do have health and dental coverage at least, as well as paid vacation time.

Union Painter
and/or
Unemployment collector depending on the job climate.

I had posted elsewhere i had gotten apprentice of the year.
I ended up getting a gold watch, leather jacket(still have to order it), 250$ check, 3 certificates 2 of which say the same thing and a picture taken with my instructor and our local business rep that i hope gets erased and not printed.

I am currently studying art (learning how to draw, actually) :)

I'm a corporate trainer. I do classes on everything from CPR to IT to crisis intervention.

I just finished my associates degree and am currently looking for work. I am happy to be doing what I have been doing until I find a job though, being a stay at home dad.

Still a Level II Tech, but my job duties have changed. We have went from a Novell to a Windows Server environment, which has made one part of my job easier. I create the software deployment packages for the various computers around the district (now the second largest in Kansas and the largest network in the Kansas City area). I also support our specialized software labs (CAD, Industrial Tech, Scholastic products, and International Language) and help out with managing the network. As things get running smoother going in to our second year on Windows 7, my job should just keep getting easier.

I'm not making a lot, but the flexibility is killer. I can get in to work and leave in time to pick up my son from school.

I agree with you 100%. It's fun to work together but we currently do not live with each other. We currently live the metro Detroit area. We will moving out of state to Tennessee next year and getting a house together. We do plan on staying with the same company but we both agreed to work at separate locations in Nashville. You know so we don't get sick of each other then. It would be weird to live and work together. Hey a mans gotta get away from the women sometimes lol.

Just earned by Bachelor's of Networking and am looking to start my career.  Not much luck.  While there is a ton of IT jobs in the Detroit area, 99% are for experienced folk only, so the competition is fierce for anything entry-level.

Currently I work as a lowly PC Technician/Receiver at a computer remarketing company.  While the pay isn't great at all, I get first pick at a ton of computer and other fun stuff.  I also work on the side fixing computers, which has been slowly drying up over the past few years, as most of my customers have migrated to either Windows 7 or Linux.

Neat. Do you have your CCNA? I did the exam once and scored 73%, which was a fail. I needed to get 84% to pass, I believe. My theoretical knowledge was fine, but as it turned out I hadn't practiced (memorized) the actual configuring enough, which is how I lost most of my points (the simulation questions). :(


I have a Bachelor in IT and am now working towards getting a Master, hopefully, next year. I'm currently having exams (last one is the 26th) and things are looking good so far. Next year won't be easy though, as I still have to write my entire thesis.

I work in a law firm as a paralegal and use to do secured commercial transactional/bankruptcy/foreclosure work.  Just made a lateral move to medical malpractice.....this should be interesting.

As of last month, I'm a "Field Technician" aka Laborer for a stream and wetlands mitigation and restoration company based in Pittsburgh, PA. Basically, I do the hard dirty work that can't be done with machines like planting trees and other plants, removing cattails from wetlands, installing various types of erosion control devices, and whatever else the boss decides needs to be done.
Its brutal physical work but the pay is decent and I'm hoping I can use it as a stepping stone to better things before too long.

After nearly 5 generally terrible years as a computer repair person at a certain big box chain whose computer repair people wear stupid black and white uniforms, I am now working as a support tech, auditor and occasional programmer for IBM. I work on a team that builds and services machines for a large financial company. It's pretty neat, and offers a great insight to a few different professional worlds. More than anything, I'm glad to be away from my last job. :)

i work for the police. normally deal with the emergency calls but also everything else anyone can think to ring the police about. but at the moment ,due to ongoing problems with my new boss, im in firearms licensing. which is as boring as it sounds.

My main job is a house-husband and stay-at-home dad for our boys.  I also work part time at a local game store, play in a local band, and serve as a counselor and theology teacher.  I'm also a pastor/elder at our church, and I'm slowly working on a writing career.

It makes for a rather full week. ;)

I am also a house-husband and stay-at-home dad. Although I wouldn't mind finding something part time to get some adult interaction.

I am a former Sergeant in the Army Signal Corps (Airborne).  Never went to college.  The Army taught us how to install a network while out in the woods, with gas masks donned, and pretending someone was shooting at us.  That was a much more interesting way to learn.  I jumped between Ft Bragg, NC and South Korea for years, until I decided to lose the pickle suit.  But I stayed in Korea, in the central Network Operation Center, for a few more years as a government contractor, before heading back to the US. 

I've been back in my hometown for almost 7 years now, and working as a Central Office Tech for a Telco/Internet provider.  I maintain a total service area of about 800 square miles with a limited number of techs.  Makes for busy times and a lot of overtime, but the pay is good and I don't have to wear a uniform.  But, as Randall says in Clerks, "This job would be great, if it wasn't for the f$#@ing customers."

I'm a translator but also do a lot of teaching and proofreading

I am now a part time route driver for a local frozen pizza company. It works out good as it allows me to still be a full time stay-at-home dad.

Still a factory slave.  Window factory, glass room.

I work in a liquor store. Here in Ontario, Canada alcohol is government regulated so all liquor is purchased through the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO).

This means that prices are high, but at least the prices are set in stone.

Funny true story; when my love and I were vacationing in Canada, we searched out some Japanese Plumb wine (the only type of wine I've ever tasted and liked) but because we're from the States, we had no idea about the LCBO.  We couldn't find where to buy wine until bringing it up to a classic game store owner we sought out, who told us where an LCBO was, and I had to ask the salesperson what LCBO actually meant.  ;P

Silly tourists.

I am an IT Manager for a group of Orthopaedic Surgeons.  (Please don't sue us, banana)

Former employee of:
Babbages, FuncoLand, Sony Theater, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Circuit City, Dunkin Donuts, Shop Rite, The Wall, Ultimate Audio and Video, Newtown Police Station, OrthoNet, and Walt Disney World but not in that order.

Currently a supervisor for an alarm monitoring company. (Think ADT, but not them)

I've previously worked as a trash collector for a local municipality, Applebee's, Shoprite, local Pizza place and a security guard. Oh and I worked at Toys R Us and Olive Garden for one week each.

University student and up-front supervisor at a grocery store

Do you have connections with Washington State?  My fiance got a degree in restoration and she's having trouble finding a job with it. 

I work for a non-profit picking up clothing donations in front of houses and in donation bins in front of businesses.  The pay is eh...i get by.  I like my job though.

I used to work at:

Suncoast Video
Burger King
WalMart
Fred Meyer
Winco Foods
Diva Espresso
McDonalds
Seatac Park
MasterPark
Firestone

Just got a job working as a server at a Japanese restaurant in Mountain View. This is actually the first job I've ever had so I'm real happy over the fact that I no longer have to scour job listings every week (!). I only get paid minimum wage (which is about $8 in Cali) but it's a start I suppose.

Wow i'm surprised minimum wage in California is only 8$s.
It is still around 8 in MA but expenses are lower here.

EDIT
Also congrats on the job!

I've been doing the military thing for 12 years now and have been a lot of places/done a lot of awesome things.  I'm currently a combat instructor prepping folks to head overseas.  I work 12 hour shifts almost every day, but, I get to drive around on quads and shoot machine guns so it all works out ;)

That sounds like a "blast" ;)

I run a daycare centre for kids twice my age. It's crap.

We also sometimes do some printing.

That narrows it down to about 100 possible places just off of El Camino Real alone.  :P

I work as a guy in a costume that waves at people and sales clerk as well at a Magic/Costume shop

Stay at home dad, also part time grocery clerk.

Nothing except weekly gig as cameraman for this financial firm's webcast.

Full time EMT. Part time EMT volunteer in my town full time Atari 8 bit nut.

Looks like my previous post got lost in the outage...
In case anyone here wasn't aware, I work for Electronic Arts at the Tiburon studio, which handles the football titles as well as Tiger Woods. I'm a Software Engineer for the central team that handles a lot of the technology needs as well as supporting the football teams for various needs. Nothing fancy, nothing back of the box, but we're the oil that keeps the machine running.

I thought for sure that sentence was going to end differently.

Finance "firm", eh?

Financial porn is a real thing.

I just left a job in financial porn.....er I mean financial industry.  After 17+ years managing a small development team at a bank I left to become IT Director for a logistics company.

I quit the Red Cross. The travel was too much. So now I'm a stay at home dad again and work part time for u-haul.

⠀

Still with the same company but my job responsibilites have greatly increased.  I'm the shop guy and do everything from shredding, baling, loading trucks, painting etc. etc.  I run all the equipment at the shop: skid steer, fork lift, hi-lift, baler etc.  

Still working the cash office, but now I've been given the title of "brand advocate." Basically, I find local events the store can participate in, confer with district management and other brand advocates, and attend these events to help promote the store. It doesn't come with a raise in pay, but I am getting more hours. In fact, thanks to a management changeover, I'm racking up some good overtime... which helps out my financial situation, but puts a real crimp in my thrifting runs. Fortunately, my Saturdays are still free for yard-sale runs...

last time I messaged on here I was working at a Costume shop ... but since then I am in college for animation ... and I will soon be transferring to a larger school in California where I was offered an internship at CN

 ... so I am in the transition to a much better job right now.

As of three weeks ago, I'm no longer a central office "techie" at a phone/internet provider, dealing with thousands of customers and their constant calls and attitudes & complaints.  I was there for 7 years, but I couldn't take the massive stress and complacent manager and fellow techs.  Is it wrong to hope they fold after my departure?

NOW, I'm working as the Network Security Engineer under the County Sheriffs Office for the 911 center.  Salaried position for the same pay, less stress and much better benefits, the ability to brainstorm and improve MY network as I see it most beneficial without corporate confrontation, improved training and certification opportunities, just one customer/office that I need to keep operational, much more free time without being expected to monitor a cell phone and email 24/7, and MORE FREE TIME TO PLAY GAMES!

sounds like a nice change, congrats!

Job satisfaction.  The key to finding a position you should stick with.  Last night we had an "issue" that required I head to the office and rewire some workstations.  After a long night, the sheriff was at the building to thank me for my efforts when I arrived.  Very cool.

it's the little things that make it that much better

I've been at my job for almost a year. Accounting and admin.

Overworked and underpaid!

I work at a movie theater as a assistant manager for almost 3 years.
I also work in the bake shop at Stop&Shop.

I delivered pizza for about a year too. Three jobs were tough to get to all work together.

4th Class Power (Steam) Engineer working at a treatment plant for Utility (power, telephone) poles and railway ties.

sounds interesting.

So I started a temporary job working at the Cincinnati Museum center. I'm part of a crew responsible for taking down and setting up traveling exhibitions. We're dismantling a dinosaur show and will be putting up a Princess Diana (wat) one. It's strenuous work, exercising some muscles I forgot I had, but it pays well and the crew is fun to work with.

Been a while since I saw this thread.

Last June, I started a job with Cerner as a System Engineer. I'm on one of the 2 crews that deploys new servers to our datacenters.

Had to leave the school district after a bunch of ridiculousness...

My boss gave me away to another company for the week. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing, but the work is so much easier, I get more hours, and I don't come home tired and covered in mud, so I think I got a good deal.
Basically, I control the sludge boat on a AMD sedimentation pond at a coal mine. Which means pressing a few buttons every half hour and moving a pulley every hour or so. I spend more time playing games on my tablet in my truck than doing actual work.
The best news is that its going slower than expected, so I may get two weeks out of this.

Delivery for Domino's Pizza. yay.

I work in IT for a financial firm. I'm part of the first response team that detects and fixes issues before they cost the firm money.

Accountant/administrator

Currently off work at home. Don't think I will be going back...

Still working for the same computer re-marketing/metrology company as a break/fix guy, though now I do field repair work for HP products.  Currently trying to become the defacto first-level HP-service repair company for U of M.  Talk about a tough nut to crack! The University of Michigan (like most large university's, I imagine) is made up a massive amount of IT groups, each independent of each other.  Often hostile, I might add.

I'm also trying to sharpen up my computer forensics skills and possibly pen testing.  I don't think I want to fix computers for the rest of my life and Metro Detroit is one of the most competitive markets in the country, so it helps to helps to have a broad and weird resume.  One of the only places you will find an entry level job with stiff requirements that are contrary to the meaning of an entry level job.

Welcome to Orlando! Entry level IT requires 5 years experience.

Still working at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Been there for over six years. Can't complain. Love my job as I love working on cars and it pays the bills and gives me plenty of play money. Great benefits too.

Wal-Mart Tire and Lube Express.  Changing oil and tires and car batteries.  That's ALL we do.  No other mechanic type things.

Update to mine.
I'm down to just working Sundays at the movie theater as an assistant manager.
I work at the bake shop in Stop & Shop. It's super easy and they let me play around making cakes and cookies.

And for my third job I am a manager of a local retro video game store.
It's called Retro Games Plus. I begin good friends with the owner and when he wanted to open a second store closer to where I live I told him I would work a few days. He knew I was a manager at the movies so offered me a manager position. It's pretty sweet
