What Do You Do?
Jumpman's thread about college/school gave me this idea. If your not in school, what do you do for a living? I'm a carpenter/jack of all trades. I work for a business my dad started about 20 years ago. All our work comes from insurance companies. So if your house or business catches fire, floods,gets wind damage, or is trashed by vandals, we fix it. I can do pretty much anything, drywall, roofing, siding, painting, plumbing, electical, kitchens, bathrooms, any type of flooring, the list goes on. I could literally build a house from the ground up. I'll be 28 on Monday, and hope to start flipping houses in the next year or 2.
So what does everyone else do.

Like your idea! Gives everyone a chance to know people better!
I'm 26 and opening a Jimmy John's franchise in a suburb of Chicago. The store should be opened the second week of October and I will definitely post some pics of the opening!! All NA members who visit receive a free sub, chips and drink on the house!! Only took me a year and half to open because of the damned city we moved into to!!
That's what I do. And root for my Bears and Cubbies!! Haha.
Be well -

I work a part time job for a company called Synergixx. It's boring office type work but it's great money for a 20 year old kid with no experience. Plus I can surf the internet all day and pretend to do work (just kidding, i actually do work). Synergixx is a call center. We take calls for other companies that run infomercials on TV, radio, newspaper, and other forms of media.

Sounds interesting. I have never even heard of Jimmy John's before. I just looked up the Wikipedia article. I guess that's a franchise that we just never got here in New Jersey. So you're going to own the store when it's opened? Cool!
Despite going to school for two years for accounting, I now am the Kitchen Manager at Applebee's in Athens, AL. Hungry?? Any NA members get a three course meal on me! Still hungry??, bring some NES games for trade!!
I am unemployed for the moment

BTW: Did anyone of our Dutch members opening or runing a Coffeshop? hehe
I have a job interview next week for USPS again, and have at least a 20% chance of getting it. 5 people are interviewing for the one job, fingers crossed.

Anyways, my title is Operations Manager. I run all the production in the shop I work at. We have 130 employees across three shifts right now. We sell drawer slides to companies like Herman Miller, Steelcase and HON to be used in their filing cabinets. We also sell slides to Snap-On for use in their tool boxes and to GE for use in some of their refridgerators. I have been here for 12 years now and love it. Oh, I am 30.
im 26 and me and my twin brother started our own roofing business in june of 2006, after roofing since we were 17... things couldent be going better....
Currently I am a Senior Business Relationship Manger, VP at the 4th largest bank in the country. I can approve a $250,000 loan on just my signature now. Not Bad! Who wants to buy that SNES cart on eBay? Alot to give up but I get headhunters calls from 3 different banks a week because I am half the age of almost everyone that does what I do) and I might just have received an offer I can't refuse... great opportunity to open up a new bank and become a business team leader (so like my boss now) with substantial raise and signing bonus. Will be interesting couple of months in my life. Good thing NoFriendo is gone he probably wouldn't like reading that last part!!

I work at the office at a private school, and as a (kind of) teacher for both Interiordesign and Visual Merchandising.
(And I've got 4 years at art school, so I do some drawing/painting).
VITO, you know i'm at your store opening day taking you up on that free sammich!
whoa, that is a a mouthful, lol. Savanah is a scary place. My borther was going to attend that college but after we went down for a visit and got off the wrong exit he changed his mind pretty fast. That place was SCARY!

NGD, yeah most of the stuff my wife does she cannot tell me about or "she would have to kill me" LOL! Savannah is a very tough town in certain areas. Where I lived I heard gunshots at least once a week, someone tried to break into our apartment, had my car and several bikes stolen... Aside from all that it's really a great art/college/tourist town! Here is a photo of me taken a block away from my old apartment:
(note the shirt) LOL!
I am in corrections, so i only get half of what you get, but i still enjoy it. (dont know why) I hear you on the court problems, watch out for thost 1982 suits!!
good luck to you wrldstrman. btw, when did you become El Ripper?! thats a lot of posts!
That sign is awesome, especially with the redrum shirt on, lol. We walked on the waterfront late one night and the locals storeowners yelled at us and made us call a taxi to get back to the motel. I will never be back in that town.

ex-Game Shopowner ("Head Games," Pottstown PA) of 4 years
currently working my way up from entry-level at Cash Converters, an upscale pawn with locations in VA, PA and overseas in AUS and the UK. This week I start training in buys, they're putting me on the fast track since I have retail ownership experience, in hopes of awarding a franchise to me in a few months.
In the meantime, I get first dibs on all the classic games that come through
Also dabbling in real estate, and like many others, an online VG reseller.
In what little free time I have, I relax with my wife Marie, and moderate here and at NESForums.com.
...old pics of the store >snif< in the last pic you can see DDR in attract mode on the 6' diag. projection, on the rear wall there. Gotta find some way to bring the females in!
But the story I give people when they ask is, network admin for the last 5 years since I was 19. I manage 3 offices of about 150 people. Things usually run really well because I'm awesome, so I surf NA and eBay all day.
Now I work out of my home (while my wife goes to grad school) as a Function Test Team Lead for a certain large and colorful global computer company.

Ummm, Jimmy John's!
It's almost my lunch break, and there's on about 10 minutes away.
I work for a large Pharmaceutical company. The plant I work in is a little one in Omaha Nebraska where we make vaccines for animals.
I work in the Quality Assurance group, the only Quality guy on the 2nd shift.
Not very exciting but it pays pretty good and it's cushy.
