I know some may not want to disclose, but just curious what everyone does in their day-to-day to make a living, i.e. job, self-employed, run a card shop etc.?
I work in the retirement sector mostly dealing with 403b and 401k plans for not-for-profit sector such as churches, schools, hospitals, and charities.
I list on Ebay too, but it’s mostly just extra cards I get graded that I don’t want to keep and it basically funds itself as opposed to being a source of income.
I work as a draftsman for a fire alarm company.
I sit at a computer all day, so the general workflow is, draw 1 line, buy 1 pokemon card, draw 1 line and so on.
I’m a programmer (.NET/C#/Objective C), I run my own consulting company now and work from home which is pretty cool.
I used to specialise in touch screen applications & technology but now I do mostly web stuff. Eg. For the past few years I’ve been building and maintaining an investment property management system for a national property and financial advisor company.
I used to primarily contract for the Microsoft product teams in Redmond, but I’ve done stuff for Telstra Australia and for the aussies here I built the Coles app for Windows Phone. Probably the ‘coolest’ thing I did was for Scion, I developed the application at their booth during the 2011/2012 US auto show circuit. They made a showreel for it:
Sales for AT&T. For anyone looking for a job until they graduate college, I highly recommend working within the cellular industry. Part time (28 hours weekly) I was making $35,000 a year, given you need to be at a corporate location to do that. I recently went full time and I haven’t been full time long enough to know what I’ll make.
I feel like sales is a great field to explore even if only temporarily. I see friends of mine very settled into their job and once they get comfortable the effort slowly drops. In a commission based field you want to go harder everyday because your check ultimately depends on it.
My goal is to get into franchising stores once I get my business degree. I see myself owning a couple of authorized retail stores for a cellular company along with owning a couple mall kiosk with cellular accessories.
Carpenter/builder- Been building alot of the natureplay playgrounds recently, around Perth seems schools are just going crazy to spend money… Then the cashies on the weekends to fund the cardboard collecting
I’ll graduate in 6 months in Applied Informatics. I have a final internship starting in 3 months. I have submitted my top preferences, if I get my number 1 preference I’ll be programming custom Cortana & Siri commands for a big company with a high chance of getting to stay there.
You all have jobs which sound like they make absolute $$ haha. Unfortunately I’m currently the manager of William Hill bettting shop. I’m not even gonna disclose what I earn but it’s pittance compared to some of you. I posted this just so people wouldn’t be scared to share if their numbers aren’t as big as someone else’s, don’t be ashamed that you earn a living for yourself no matter what you earn it’s better than being some welfare system cheating scumbag!
I used to be a public office worker, working for my city’s organization basically. In the last 2 years I’ve had 3 different work periods there but my newest contract ended literally yesterday so now I’m unemployed unfortunately.
I have a degree on IT so I should be working on places like Help Desk etc but it’s rather difficult to find that kind of jobs around here.
I am a courier driver for Federal Express. This job is pure freedom, there is no other job like it. I start my day whenever I feel like, I eat whenever I please, people already know who I am so I am familiar with every customer, great benefits & my manager/supervisors are absolute goofs so no need to wanna strangle your boss. The smiles on people’s faces when they receive their packages is nice, but what I really enjoy is telling people to piss off when I park “illegally” and they feel like they’re suddenly traffic cops.
