What's your job?

[AusQB]

Awesome, man! Living the dream, huh? Network issues can be a real pain, and buildsystems can be, especially if your developers refuse to use it right like they do where I work! ^.^

OT: Myself, I'm a simple software developer. C# is my language of choice, and you 'nix bastards can make fun of me all you want, I love my life. ^.^

I hear you! I feel really lucky, since I was able to get into the industry without any contact in the company. I used to be a programmer, doing regular managing software stuff (in Delphi, proudly named Dying Language #1). That was good times too, I don't regret any of it.

And nothing wrong with C#! Around here, two languages are used: C# and C++ (not counting Pyhon, Perl and all that Ruby crap, since it's mostly used for scripting).

 

[Thrager]

Writer and freelance graphic designer.

I used to be a librarian, but for now I'm mostly "there for" my kids. My eldest needs a bit more care than other children his age. I guess you could call me a home make or a housewife.

 

[Samwise137]

I'm a teacher, and I love my job!

 

[EgoDeusEst]

I'm a tourguide. On a boat.

 

[danintexas]

I test and qualify video and audio drivers. I get paid $20 an hour to sit around and play video games - watch DVDs basically. Been doing it for 6 years now

 

[Mookalakai]

I work as a librarian at my college, and I deliver AV materials around. My job is essentially a huge succession of fetch quests, but leveling up takes forever.

 

[Imsety]

Nice! What kind of game are you working on?

Massively Multiplayer Strategy-ish. Really hard to explain without seeing it. As you might imagine from a single-person project, it's pretty simplistic (2D top-down graphics) and relies heavily on procedural content generation.

 

[Guffe]

I work at a grocery store.
I take calls from people and ask what they need and buy it and take it to them. They of course then pay me and there's a small fee so that the cars gasoline will be paid from.
Mostly old people and a few hospitals and schools and such.

But in just 3 months I must go into the army and after that, hopefully the Police Academy.

 

[SpcyhknBC]

I'm a PhD student working in genetics

 

[s0p0g]

male nurse, or whatever it's called in english (at least my dictionary said so)

 

[carpathic]

I help people with disabilities find and keep jobs. It is a pretty awesome gig!

 

[Parser]

I used to be a game developer until the company ran out of money. So now I'm back to programming on Symbian, which is something I'd only recommend to.... nobody.

 

[R3dF41c0n]

I work in IT. If you're wondering, I'm a mix of Roy and Moss.

 

[1rednose]

Operator at a nuclear power plant. Get paid to keep everyone else's lights on.

 

[lee1287]

Ringing people up and asking for them to buy stuff

TELE MARKERTING

 

[EeveeElectro]

Unemployed right now, but stressing myself out so much with trying to find work it's made me ill.
Well, two job interviews tomorrow and I've been offered a placement at a children's centre so I'm getting somewhere I suppose.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I'm just a university student. Although I do work part time in a shop, when ever I'm available.

 

[Shinrae]

It took me 4 years to complete half of a 2 year IT diploma at college.
Im actually rather good with computers, was just the problem of prioritizing games, forums and sleep > Showing up and doing my work.

Once I finally got my half qualification (Score!), I realised I live in the bum end of nowhere and that it was the most useless thing I could have studied.

I now work as a barman in my local.
Prolly the worst job for a shy, antisocial, shut in like myself
