Still studying to become an Event Manager (and hopefully be able to organise shows for a living), but I'm also working a few days per month, doing internships etc to earn some cash
oh and I'm already setting up shows, so if you ever need a show in Belgium/The Netherlands or Europe in general, hook me up!

I'm studying in university to become either an elementary school teacher or high school teacher for philosophy or something. Or then something else altogether, not sure, i'm just happy to study all kinds of interesting stuff (gender studies, philosophy, history, anthropology...) and live by student benefits. I also work as a snowboard instructor, nice job and depending on how many customers there are i can either get a lot of money or just ride the slopes all day.

I go to college full time I guess (I am taking Law Clerk, basically a lawyers assistant. My original goal was to work in a legal aid office and help out those in need). When I am done that I am going to take the courses to teach english in Japan.
I work at a second hand store called Value Village. It pays the bills I guess. The Canadians will know what I am talking about.
I am also a professional juggler and part time limo driver for the rich and famous. I moonlight on Tuesday nights in the CIA.

I'm the guy no one cares about, until something breaks. I am the IT Dept. at my place of employment. no really, i'm not being snarky... everything from the circuit to the end user is dumped on me( i'm the network/switching/server/desktop/telecom/electrical administrator). i am old, & my life is Hell... but there are far worse hells to work/exist in.

I do tech support for a cell phone company and I hate it, but nobody else in this city is willing to pay me as much as they do.

Do you dress nice at work Earthworm? If so, post pictures of you in a suit! i don't have to do that here. i did have to dress all spiffy and professional when i worked as a sys admin for the Credit Union, years ago. now here, no one cares. we're a small company, so everyone dresses however they feel they need to. plus, my boss flat out told me that she didn't care what i looked like. it's funny i worked at another small company when i first started doing IT work, and it was pretty much the same way (only they did recommend not wearing ripped up clothes with holes all in them... pajamas were ok, however). We had a client on site one day, and they observed that all of the staff was in fact dressed in pj's jeans/tshirts and what not. he asked the owners why we didn't have a dress code, and why they let everyone dress in normal clothes. the owners' response was gold... "We don't care what our employees look like on the outside, we're only care about what they have on the inside".

I've been jobless for a while, running of mega savings. Just had to get a new turntable, which put me over the edge and now I need a new job.
Before I quit, I worked at a call centre for HP notebook tech support, did that for two years. Might end up going back...

I worked on elevators, but have been laid off since August. Actually, I went back to work for the same company back in January but got laid off again after only three weeks.
So I hang around and collect unemployment.
