MWAH - HAH - HAHHH!!!!!

The Real Question:

What does everyone do for a living? I teach school, here.

[DarthMaulRat]

College Student
-Telecommunications/Electronic Media Major

Yeah, watching TV and movies is how I study.

[Dave]

Video Editor. yeah, i make commercials all day.

Darth, the markets hard out there, get yourself an internship, It really will help when its time to get an actual job.

Walker

[DarthMaulRat]

Yeah, I keep hearing that all the time. Our college actually has required internships for the last 3 semesters. I imagine the market is slowly expanding, there seems to be production facilities popping up in smaller cities now. But if the field remains the same then I'll have a practically useless degree. Of course I still need to pick a minor, which is sounding like a back-up plan right now.

[Omaru]

I am a jobfinder, in which i look for jobs, post cv's and spec letters to companies, fill out application forms and attend interviews, otherwise known as unemployed.

[Ryall]

>What does everyone do for a living?

This.

[Shawnathan]

Customer Service for a PC and Mac sales website.

Pardon me if I break into loud sobbing from time to time.

[Crystal]

Homecare Provider. I don't get out much.

[Razorback]

Professional student for the most part. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif Tech... but I really want to become a journalist or some kind of professional writer. I'm just too old to start at the bottom. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

[Zens_7s]

I was a webmaster and a network admin, until my company shut down. Currently I am doing tech consulting and teaching piano on the side. Also I spend two hours a day praying/begging/bargaining for a nice new job to fall into my lap.

I miss my high maintenance lifestyle! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

[Razorback]

Pretty similar to what I did/do. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif Except I don't play piano.

<what does everyone do?>

Starting Monday I'll go back to being a master control operator for the local NBC affiliate... At my fingertips will be the buttons that control what 250,000 people watch- okay, maybe four people are actually tuned in, but I'll have three day weekends again. Lot's of time to realize my dream of becoming a professional bull fighter...

Yeah... right.
Is it already 2 a.m.? Funny, I don't feel tired...

[Dave]

Where in Texas are you, cause you might get to Enjoy watching some of the commercial i'm sendin out.
If so, then it's time to move up, trade up! Toyota Trucks!
Wooooo.

someone please give me a short to work on before i blow my brains out.

[phillas]

good question to the crowd here. I've wondered what kind of people would come to a site like this.

as for me, I'm a reserach scientist at a biotech company in the San Francisco area. not a mad scientist...just occasionally irritated.

[jjcourtright]

I am a not-employed-as-a-physicist physicist.

[Zens_7s]

Well RB - we may be twins separated at birth!

At least we have the Poop Shoot to keep us occupied until we are gainfully employed again as webmaster or in my case, webmistress /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

[Robbo_the_Hood]

>I miss my high maintenance lifestyle!

I sure don't. You're much better to handle now that you're not nearly as demanding. And I can't afford caviar every night.

[Zens_7s]

You used to be so good to me Robbo - dinner at Spago, shopping for bling-bling at Van Cleef & Arpels, cuddling in my ten million dollar chinchilla.

But now! Whatever sage/poet that said "My Love Don't Cost a Thing" was just being silly. For god sakes, I had to let go of one member in my entourage.

Robbo - lets bring the magic back. sniff sniff

[Robbo_the_Hood]

sniff sniff?

Is that my stash of coke? I bet the magic is somewhere between your habbit and your insurance policy for which I have to foot the bill.

[Zens_7s]

My "habbit" (not to be confused with The Hobbit, my nickname for your...well...you know...) is not a problem. I can quit at anytime!

You miss my 5 million dollar insured nostrils. Don't make me trade you in for a boyfriend-to-be-named-later. I can't take splitting up our Springsteen albums in a bitter custody battle.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Since when were you into Springsteen? Those are all my records. Before I came along, you were still singing along with those Puff Daddy remixes. Now all of a sudden you're all 80's singing "Glory Days" and watching "Light of Day" and "Flashdance" over and over and over. Do you think you're Jennifer Beals or something?

[Zens_7s]

Just because I once used your Nebraska album to serve sushi on, does not mean that I don't see the value in it.

It has been so hard around here lately without you Robbo. Woke up this morning, the house was cold. Checked the furnace, she wasn't burning. Went out and hopped in my old Bentley. Called my chauffer to check the engine, but she ain't turning.

Same sad story, that's a fact.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

How misguided are you when Nebraska is used as a sushi plate and you've got the Selena DVD playing at the same time.

One step up and two steps back.

[Zens_7s]

Hey - Selena was the finest cinematic work yet to date. Citizen Kane my a**, literally.

You are just jealous because all your "work", as you like to call it, ends up on the Lifetime Original Movie Network with a title like "Sadie Hawkins: She Cried No But He Said You Betcha."

P. Puff Diddy Widdy Rocks!

[CHEMICALX]

I'm an actor. (movies)
I want to be a director one day.
I just haven't been in a movie quite yet but I met this producer who's casting a movie and wants me to audition for this part in a movie this summer cause she thinks i'm right for the part and it's hard to find 15 year old actors i guess.
I'm getting some head shots done next month.
I'm not even sure if it's a starring role yet cause they havn't told me to much about it yet but it;s in pre-production and the script was just finished.

[Razorback]

I'm also an actor. Though I have not actually been in anything. However, I had someone who said he was a producer tell me that he had something that has not been written or even greenlighted for pre-pre-production or actually even been conceptualized that I would be PERFECT for even though he has no idea what it might be about or what he is looking for.

RB

[Omaru]

Im not an actor, I've not really done anything that got me exceptional praise except my school play, a few monologues and another one off theatre production for a small sitting of about 150 people. I have no acting agent, I am probably not going to perform in anything again unless I write a script for something. But we'll see. I want to get into acting, but theres not much room for ugly people in the UK.

[Razorback]

If that were true then there would be no British actors. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

RB

[Omaru]

not much room......cause all the spots are taken, besides, I'm talented, not self absorbed and could probably remember my lines (maybe let down on that really), why would tv pick me????

[Razorback]

Are you sure that you are English?

RB

[Omaru]

Noo actually I'm canadian you might have seen me here and aboots...okay joking, and very un-politically correct. me english? I could tell ya, but I'd have to kill ya /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Razorback]

One of my best friends is Canadian. I never call him and when he calls me I hang up... but we are close.

RB

[apollolove]

i'm not an actor either. although i did play the teen angel (remember "beauty school dropout"?) in grease in high school. so i guess i'm an "expert" in the movie industry. and i say that whatever anyone who frequents the forums on the shoot does is bound to fail in the movie industry. so there.

[Omaru]

you mean you were one of the gang members? because the angel that sings the song to frenchie was Frankie Avalon, A big 70's hearthrob. Who I think still performs today but not being a fan I don't really know.

[Outer1]

I think he's referring to the fact that he played that part in a high-school production.....

Maybe Frankie was unavailable at his high school.

[apollolove]

you are correct sir. i played the frankie part in a high school play.

[Omaru]

I need to get my eyes checked, this is about the forth time I've missinterpreted a post, so I conclude I'm just plain all round dumb, somewhat auistic or I have some quite high level of asphergas disorder.

[Razorback]

What is auistic? That is a word I have never heard before.

RB

[Omaru]

AUTISTIC, curse my inability to spell, or rather, my ability to spell but my inability to not trip on the keys

[Razorback]

Oh ok... I thought it was some Canadian/British word that I had never heard of before. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

[lcooney]

I work for Rogers, Inc (in Canada) managing a retail outlet that is a video store, cable centre and wireless store all in one.

[SecretArt]

i'm really putting my history degree to good use by working as a financial accountant within the chemical industry...

[Razorback]

I'm really putting my degree to good use by going back to school... oh wait, bad example.

RB

[Zens_7s]

I have a biology/psychology double major. I have not worked in either field for a single day after college.

It is probably a good thing that I am not allowed to work on humans minds or bodies, since I am a bit out of practice.

"Tell me about your mother"...or something like that.

[SecretArt]

since when has that been a problem?

[Razorback]

A friend of mine has a bio degree... worked as a mechanic for 7 years. He finally got himself a low paying job as a bio high school teacher. He could probably make more money fixing cars.

RB

[SecretArt]

yeah....one of my friends has a degree and two masters and is currently working as a cleaner.....he's really happy though coz basically he works a couple of hours in the morning and then goes rocki climibing for the rest of the day

[Razorback]

I wonder how many masters degrees I will have before I get a job in my field. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

RB

[Zens_7s]

I was offered a job teaching in a local high school. I have my certificate, so I did think about it. Then I realized how much I hated high school the first time around. Would I really want to take terrible money and be forced to work with some of the most dysfunctional people I have ever met (high school teachers)?

I think I will wait it out. /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

[Razorback]

My friend keeps begging me to get my teaching certificate so that I can cover his classes. I HATED high school (except for when I played football). Why would I want to go back there?

I think I will wait to teach a college class (even a poor junior college class would be better than a high school one).

RB

[Zens_7s]

One of my friends is a professor of technology at a local university. She loves it. Her students actually are intested in what she has to say. Her summers are free, and she gets paid well. Her day ends whenever her last class is, usually around 2ish.

[Razorback]

Pretty cool deal. I want a job like that. I could stand teaching as long as it is to ADULTS.

RB

[Zens_7s]

One of my previous jobs was a corporate MCSE trainer for IT dept. employees It was a great job, but it had its share of odd adult issues.

Between cell phones, beepers, palms, and the Internet you spend half the day keeping the A.D.D. at bay. Also, unlike children, I had to prove myself more to adults. The respect was not automatically there. I had a great deal of trouble getting the male engineers to not treat me like a bimbo.

Once you get past their issues, adults are more rewarding because they are there to learn, and NOT to screw around.

[Razorback]

Exactly... another reason why I like attending night classes.

RB

[freakenmoron]

How many of you that posted in this thread (Before it was hi-jacked by actors) still have the same job?

Three years and four months after my first post in this thread, I'm still working in the same field- sort of. Except where only an average of 30,000 people saw the fruits of my labors back then, the packages I put together for VOD got downloaded over ten million times in June of this year.

Huge step up in the world.

I've always wanted to be a circus performer, but instead I'm whatever my job calls me at the time.
I am starting my own business soon, printing T-shirts. So hopefully once that gets started on can save money and work on my real dreams. If anyone here needs T-shirts made, let me know. Though give me about a month or two to get the business started. Hopefully it won't take that long, but it may. I've been known to procrastinate at times.

I'm a student. A journalism major at Eastern Illinois University. I have a work study job though. I do closed captioning for the local/campus TV station.

I'll take a boring job where I sit on my ass any day over having to deal with douche bag customers at a fast food place (which is what I was doing this summer).

[FanGirl]

Hey, Aste...if you want to have something to fall back on with the captioning, learn another language as well. My cousin-in-law makes $30 an hour close caption DVDs in English, Spanish and Italian. Movies like Star Wars, LOTR, etc.

[Asteban]

That's pretty awesome. But I'll keep working toward my dream of being the enemy (think Almost Famous). Haha.

[FanGirl]

Well, it's always good to have something to fall back on. Plus, knowing more languages will just encourage magazines to send you on international tours to cover or better still write for international magazines. So you can be loved in Belgium.
