What do you do for a living?
Monday, November 10, 2003 by carolelee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It is interesting to know what people do for a living at this site. I am an apprentice industrial insulator by trade. Never a dull moment on the job and it is cool that more and more women are getting into the trades, keep the men on their toes!

I try to figure out what I want to be when all of me grows up one day 
I've a lot of things in the works all at one time, chaos is key
But right now IT pays bills.
Oh and I am considering volunteering for the St Petersburg GP next year. This year
I 've surprised my wife with day/pit passes. Last year I wanted to take some
digital pic's for someone and missed out. This year I won't depend on someone else
to get me in
They just ran in Australia 3 weeks ago I think from what the guy at the promo tent
was telling me when I was checking out one of the display car/shell's.
Next year I will be working with the guy for the sign in, he said I would get to see
most of the racing doing that? not sure but hoping

At the moment I am Unemployed, on SSD for the time being. Getting paid to go to school at ITT - Tech. Learning Web Development. Actually expanding my knowledge you could say plus getting the nice piece of paper saying that I know what I'm talking about. Going to go for my A+ Cert soon.
Used to be at the Sheetz Help Desk. Fixing computers, taking customer complaints, helping the stores in any way possible, etc.
I think that's all. O' I sit in front of the computer basically all day you could say.

| #98 by Admin Jafo - 11/10/2003 11:12:30 PM Self-employed building designer [Architect].....in my spare time......but mostly I help administer a website you 'may' be familiar with... When doing neither, I mess with computers [where 'mess' is the operative word]...by making life complicated for myself.... Now if only GP Officialling was a 'paid job' I'd probably just do that, and to heck with Councils, clients, and Planning Regulations and recalcitrant Objectors.... |

Retired (great occupation) to a sub-tropical Island off the east coast of Oz. Play competition golf on a wonderful sand belt course (3 times a week). Religiously read the WC message board, download skins and things (Really enjoy Wincustomise). Paddle with the Dolphins. My small dog takes me for bush walks. My wife paints-(Watercolours). Forgot to mention - On the golf course we have Roos, Dingos, Ducks, lizards, Snakes. The visiting Pro's call it the Barnyard. However living just up the track is Keith Irwin (Crocodile Man) at his Australia Zoo. Life is pretty good, touch wood.

I design interior components for the auto industry, mostly dashboard and doorpanel items. The work I do is pure eyecandy, styling the visible surfaces. Guess you could say I'm a car skinner. This is my second career - my first was in the Army as an interrogator and psychological operations specialist (propaganda not medical ).

Jafo, you say you are an acchitect, Do you have any idea about how hight the quality of a 3d 'movie' has to be to sell it to clients?
We were lately working on a small movie showing a building (did it for a client) And I was wondering if you could have a look at it to get a professional oppinion.

Restaurant management, used to be IT for three of four years, and before that restaurant management for 12 or 13 more. Framed houses, landscaping, stocked groceries, photographers assistant for several years, worked in a car wash for awhile, apartment maintenance, groundskeeper. Quite a bit of work outside in my teens and 20's, but the older I get, I discover that it is actually colder in the winter and hotter in the summer, and when it rains everything just sucks.

I write comics for a living. I and thre other guys have a small firm the makes cartoons and comic strips for organizations and magazins. My contribution is mainly the scripts. We also have a book club for comics in book or magazinform. I make the presentations of the comics.
I also write manuscripts of my own, comics I have invented myself or old comics such as the Swedish version of the Phantom. So you understand that the computer is important for me. All my work I do on the computer.

I'm unemployed hoping to be self employed or working in a few months.
I am still waiting for a security job that said they want me.
My goal is to be a IT officer in a firm Architecture or otherwise related, or just in a firm who need an IT guy.
If that doesn't pine out, I was thinking about operations officer manager, or technology officer...
I am really hoping I can combine architecture, information technology, and management to work in a Arch/Construction firm
I like marketing to and anything design related.
System Analyst
operations management
Arch/construction/commercial design.
It all related trust me...
