What is your job and do you like it?

I work at an Italian restaurant called Romano's Macaroni Grill, Friday-Monday. On Fridays and Saturdays I buss tables, which is $7.25/hour plus tips, so if it's busy and the servers get tipped well, I get tipped well. On Sundays and Mondays, I wash dishes for $9.50/hour. I was originally hired as a dishwasher in July of 2012, so I've been there for over a year. My supervisor gave me some bussing shifts that started last March or April if my memory is correct.

For a 20 year old college student, I'd say I make decent money. Dishwashing can be a pain in the ass because I get hot and sweaty, and I feel like I haven't showered in a week at the end of the night, but since I'm making $2.25 above the lame ass minimum wage, I can deal with it. Also, a lot of the waitresses are hot, so there's always that. 

I've been working at McDonalds since July. Can get pretty tough sometimes, but I do like it there overall. 

I'm the art director of an internet agency of 40 people. Love my job, love my colleagues.

I was let go (not fired) a month ago from my job as overnight freight at Home Depot, but I really, really hated it, so no harm done.

I'm a co op at an engineering firm in the electronics and actuators group. I like it, but I do a lot of mundane stuff like soldering connectors and doing tests that consist of move the probes to a different wire, take a picture.

Ski instructor and yes.

Playing video games all day doesn't count as job,correct?

English teacher in China. Not great but it lets me live there.SolidSnake35

I teach English as well. I must be terrible at lesson planning because it takes most of my time.

I'm an editor for Tremble Productions, which is my cousin's film production company in Chicago. We mainly make travel vids and documentaries,  but we'll be helping friends with a couple features in October which will be a blast. Just moved up here to the city and I have to say I absolutely love the job so much. I'm going to school for film, so already being able to work in the industry is great for me.

i do stuff for games and j-pop idols.

I get to work in an office, dress however the hell i like and get paid decently so I have no complaints

I work at a supermarket and I make $5,70 an hour. Not bad for a 15 year old I guess.

Was working at Amazon through a temp. service from June, but had to stop last week because my school schedule got in the way, but I liked it. The temp. people got really fvcking anal about stuff, but the money was awesome.

Maintenance Associate (Janitor) at Wal-Mart since July 2012. The work sometimes sucks, some of the managers treat you like minions, and the customers don't really care about your job unless it involves you getting them something they need. But, I've met some cool people and I enjoy helping my fellow associates.

I am a pimp ! :P

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="MrPraline"]Fairly high position at an accounting firm (no big 4). Pay is good and my colleagues are great people, but the clients are c*nts and stress has been killing me slowly over the last few years. Prob the only thing I'm good at though. And motherf*ck last minute deadlines.MrPraline

hi =]

I thought you were super busy b/c you weren't online at all for a good bit of time. No worries though <3

I am a theoretical physicist working in a top secret underground research facility. I love my job, making the world a better place doing my bit for science, but there is a creepy looking Goverment looking guy always there in the distance observing, but I can never seem to reach him, he is very mysterious. My and my friend Barney call him the G-man.

I'm an architect at a Chicago firm that specializes in restaurants and other commercial projects.  It's mentally exhausting, but seeing something you designed get built is about as awesome as it gets.

The job itself is what you'd expect, just long hours of heavy stocking and cleaning. It wasn't too bad, aside from the exhaustion by the end of the night. My hatred comes more from the fact that my supervisors and managers were constantly on my ass about hurrying up to do jobs that could possibly kill me if I did them too quickly or wrong (yelled at me to just tackle a fridge into the overhead when I was on the automatic ladder, etc.). It's long hours, your work is rarely appreciated, absolutely no benefits (not even an employee discount), your treated more as a disposable mop than an asset to the store, and then they just let me go with only 4 days notice. Never received a complaint from me, never late, always did my work, and I received a Homer Award for keeping the store cleaner than it had been in years (straight from the store manager's mouth), and they let me go because I "didn't show good work ethic", which I later found out from the garden manager was because it took me 6 hours to pressure wash the outside garden section and took longer stacking wood and mulch because I wanted to make sure there was room for all of it. I was literally fired because I spent too much time making sure I was doing my job well, not because I slacked off or became a liability.

Word of advice, don't do your entry-level job well, just do it well enough.

Dang TC, you wash dishes and make 9.50 an hour? I work inside a hot box garage at a dealership washing 25k-70k cars and only make 9$ an hour after 2 years....started at 8$. Part time of course while im in college. I like it for the most part, but dealing with salesman/mangers is a PITA

i work at a party rental store. i clean chairs, and unload things out of people's cars. and i don't like it. too strenuous. 

I'm a child care educator. It has it's good days and bad days. I'm also pretty happy with the $18.50 I get.

Electrician - I perform routine maintenance and fault finding on diesel passenger trains. Pulling out engines and generators one day - sorting through hundreds of wires the next...Great work
