Who does what?

[mister_enmity]

Higher philosophy, sounds like a bunch of students getting stoned and talking about the matrix.

I'm about to study Philosophy at A level only because I found out that every lesson will be a debate.

[Eight Taiwanese Teenagers]

I supervise a team opening corporate accounts and doing anti-money laundering checks for a well known foreign exchange. It's pretty boring. But hopefully soon I can get a similar job at an investment bank and earn a ludicrous salary.

And if anyone's looking for a job in London, drop me a PM.

[kenneth trousers]

I suck lorry drivers off for cigarettes and fun.

[buttgammon]

Oh yusss. My mother diesn't expect me to have a job while i'm doing my schoolwork though as i'm always completely knackered all the time already.The studying is the same with me really, except i'm doing my final schooling years within a high school and am studying Higher English, Advanced higher History and Advanced Higher history as well as a couple of units of higher psychology.

See, I wanted to do Higher philosophy. But because of my school's ghastly "column" system, it means that it's in the same column as English which I actually really need to do. So I can't take philosophy. Cunts. This system fucks over so many people who need to do certain subjects to get into universities and such.

I wanted to do some kind of philosophy too but it's just about the only thing my college doesn't offer a course in.

And I do get nagged a bit about getting a job but that's because it's summer. My mum wouldn't let me have a job after the start of college, though. I'll be getting £30 quid a week on my EMA thing anyway.

[Pseudopath]

Surprise, surprise! I work in IT as a Technical Support Manager. I'm the gift that keeps on giving.

[Braintree]

I'm a History student at University of Greenwich, I didn't get good A-levels but I managed to pass the first year despite not doing an exam. Which says more about the first year than me.

[Fry]

Well, as of today I no longer work in a chicken restruant. Turns out I am no longer needed. Which was depressing, especially as finding a part time job int his town is like finding a straw of hay in a stack of needles.

[non capisco]

I am head librarian at a TV post-production company in London. It's sort of like tidying your flat for a living on a slightly grander scale but, to quote Sean Lock, I can do it spinning on my cock and the people there are by and large great.

[Still Not George]

I'm a games programmer with a small dev house here in Aberystwyth. I specialise in gameplay coding, image processing, complaining about the shit projects we get hired to do and winding up Wii owners.

[Neville Chamberlain]

I live in Germany and translate technical and marketing documents/websites from German into English.

That is what I do.

[the midnight watch baboon]

I am possibly going to get fired from my Sterile Services job tomorrow, thank Jimminy. Hoping to get a CCTV job, spying on crime in Northyorks soon.

[waste of chops]

I work for an agriculture-related branch of the civil service, keeping tabs on matters relating to our site like car parking and issuing desk fans. It's pretty much my colleagues keeping me sane at the moment to be honest.

[aaaaaaaaaargh!]

I work in the City doing something or other.  Nice job, great prospects, extremely secure, very well paid indeed, great perks, landed on my feet.  This is a major contrast to the last job I did.

Did take me a Maths degree and six years of post degree studying to get here, but I don't really mind.  Will probably get chance to do further study as well which is nice.

[duckorange]

Scum-sucking journalist.

My greatest scoop was about Klingons.

[Chutney]

I spazz away billions of pounds of taxpayer's money designing IT systems for the NHS that will never, ever work.

Ha ha! Do you work for iSoft? You don't have to suffer the ignominy of living in Banbury aswell, do you?

[glitch]

I am an interactive designer, which is a poncy way of saying I dick with graphics and programming.

[Chutney]

Ha ha! Do you work for iSoft? You don't have to suffer the ignominy of living in Banbury aswell, do you?

No, but I do contract for them and hang out in Warrington from time to time.  They're rubbish, as is Warrington.

Luckily I spend a good chunk of my time working from home, in the seaside paradise that is Whitley Bay.

[Sherringford Hovis]

After eighteen months in the doldrums, designing junk mail and doing any other thing media-related that I could put my hand to, I'm back in the same job I did 2002-2004. Feels weird as hell, and a totally retrograde step as far as career progression goes, but like Riker I'd rather be First Officer of t'Enterprise-D than captain of my own ship... Freelance Operations Editor on the best computer magazine ever.

The only reason that Linux doesn't kill Microsoft tomorrow is because organising beardy, techie open source sandal-wearers to do something when they say they're going to - or indeed get two of them to agree on anything - is like trying to herd invisible cats across the ceiling while nailing jelly to them.

[Jemble Fred]

Yeah I do stuff like what he does, in the same building, only not as well as him and with the Xbox rather than PC shit.

[fanny splendid]

I'm a policy advisor for David Cameron.

[semtex]

I sell ice to the eskimos with a 12 month extended warranty over the internet. Otherwise known as Marketing and web development.

[Lt Plonker]

I recently graduated with a 2.1 in animation and I am now another dole scummer and incredibly poor.

Ooooh! Hello! Where did you study?

[falafel]

I'm a Writer.

AKA I Work In Admin.

[ziggy starbucks]

what do I do?

yo mamma

Spoiler alert

I'm looking for interesting work

[close]

[Blue Jam]

I fuck in exchange for sex.

[InfiniteFury]

Quit sales in May vowing never to return, admin temping til November when me and the missus are off travelling for a year*

After we get back, I'm doing my City & Guilds 1 in plumbing, hopefully getting some skivvy job in a plumbing firm for a year or two which will allow me to complete C&G2 and then become independent doing domestic stuff. Bathroom fittings, shit clogged up, all the usual fun stuff.

Yep, I am done working with lazy cunts and I'm ready to embrace the general population 1on1 - go me.

* am I allowed to post a travelling thread on the understanding I'm not being smug? I really want some tips for places to go to - any hidden unspoilt treasures left, that sort of thing.

[Charles Charlie Charles]

I'm a fire officer testing the flammability of combustible formulae in Greece.

I'm not sure that I'm doing it right.

[sick as a pike]

I wait, at the edges of hope, lending respect to the drab dogs of depression.  I scale the stucco post-war heights of future-respectable society: Islington, Notting Hill, Katie Johnson- her Kings Cross island of musical men leering in at spinsters, agape with affronted horror.  When those who gather do so under duck-egg skies, urgent to wheel away, Swifts, summer-gifted and sharp to my looming, whirl: timeless yet predictable.  Elham my retreat, nestled in cattle soaked valleys protected by time and custom, tunnels, beauty, silence, chalk for leavening the heavy clay.
Or, failing that, maybe a job in B&Q.
