What do you do for a living?

[berntie]

Sooo .... I'm curious: What do you do for a living?

I mean, we all probably would like to play heroes all day, but that doesn't earn you the necessary money for 3 meals a day. And I can hardly imagine all people on CH being 16 year old students ...

I know about some people (Corribus is a professor for chemistry or something the like, DL goes to school) but what about you others? I'm wondering, for example, what job would allow AS to maintain a website like CH in his free time? (I guess you do it in your free time, do you, AS?)

As for the poll, I'm assuming kids under 14 are protected from being sent to work. (Yeah, I know that reality looks different in some countries.)

As for me, I'm studying computer science and hoping to get the thing finished this fall. (Currently, my plan is to go for a PhD when I'm done.) I do work for 12 hours a week beneath university, but that's cleary not enough to support myself. So, I also get some support from my parents (and from my grandparents, too).

Heh, I'm a 16 year old student. I work as an intern for a software company though. It's part-time and keeps me out of trouble and is pretty interesting. I certainly hope to go to college in the future, but after that, I have no idea...

Nearly 22 year old student. Studying graphic design.

[Paulus1]

I'm struggling to finish my MSc in Business Economics and Auditing while working full time as an auditor.

I've been working full time throughout my education and am now up to the point, where only the thesis remains.

I am a Production Forklift Operator, work in a plant that makes floral/nursery containers and some packaging products out of recycled paper. I haven't been 14 for like 30 years now eeekkk.

[Kalah]

Student of history in the University. Working part-time at a supermarket to supplement my budget.

Respect. That's one of the things I think I'd never be capable of myself.

I am a Production Forklift Operator

There's a short (about 9 min; 90MB) German video about a forklift operator's first day at work. Ends up pretty messy ... If you're bored you can try to find it on some filesharing networks. No need to understand what they say, as long as you like splatter movies ...

Corribus is a professor for chemistry or something the like

Well, not yet. Although I am defending my Ph.D. dissertation in four days.

As you can imagine, I'm on about no sleep right now.

[Caradoc]

I am 'semi' retired after a heroic career in the technical marketing area. These days I am trying to redeem my soul by helping small towns extract money from the government for worthy causes == parks, recycling centers, firetrucks, historical reclamations, etc.

DL goes to school

College,to be more precise.Studying menagment.

As for what puts food in my mouth,Im steel a leech on my parrents,although I do some translating or writing when the money is needed.

[Robenhagen]

I'm 31 years old and I work as a graphics designer at a small printing house.

[Mithras]

I'm actuallay 38 years old and work as a software developer for a consulting company. Most of my time at work I write programs nobody needs (as far as I think) but those consultants are a weird folk and they use them frequently.

[Banedon]

I'm 19 years old now and a student in university (studying Physics and Mathematics - sorry Corribus, but there was no way I could have done a triple major [two is plenty already]). Money...I'm a parasite too right now, and will be for at least 4 more years. But then I do wish to become independent soon.

This is getting creepy.... but you're definatly the clone... the spelling mistakes are surely side effects of the genetic degeneration.

[Gaidal Cain]

22, studying Engineering Physics (which means mathematics, physics and a very tiny dose of engineering). I don't have a job, but live on money from the state.

Nah,it is me,I just had a fever and a headache(still a bit of a headache),but as an addict,I simply had to come here for a daily fix

[theLuckyDragon]

I'll be a student of Applied Modern Languages (translation: Translator School) starting this autumn, but until then I'm staying with my parents in my hometown. After that, I'll probably be sort of "leeching" too, though I still have some money saved from various scholarships and contest prizes.

[Vlad976]

I'm 24. I've got a fresh Bachelor's Degree in Management Information Systems, and I'm unemployed.
