Well I am doing IT work (support of course) for HP right now. Really like it. Went to college for computer science and I am also a Software Engineer. That is what I did before going the support route. Better job security because their is always someone messing up something and they need it fixed.


I need an avitar. Can anyone help or have an idea. I'm drawing a blank.

I am a Petroleum Engineering student....Went to college originally for Electronics, bench work wasn't my thing (but was sure nice in the winter ).

Posted by: steiner666 Apr 3 2008, 01:33 AM

I work at a local ISP. I talk to people who know nothing about computers over the phone and try to explain how to fix their stupid problems, every now and then I get some hands-on repairs to do. I guess they call us phone support technicians or some crap... hardest part of the job is finding entertaining stuff to do on the internet... without a guitar.

I think if I was able to bring one of my guitars in to work every day and practice between calls I would be exactly 10x better than I am now... *looks at his empty wishing hand and then at the over-flowing hand of crap* ...

Posted by: blindwillie Apr 3 2008, 11:50 AM

I have two part time jobs.

My main occupation is to write software for a constellation of security companies.
My task is to find new ways to implement and spread code snippets for monitoring and controlling computers. The purpose with this is to increase the sales of the companys software for security related countermeasures.

My other job connects to this and is more profitable.
I am a professional commercial mail distributor and I use the results from the other job to create controlled networks of computers and other clever ways of distributing ads and the mentioned code snippets.

My hobby is to write software to aid in online gaming, to give your skills a little boost. Software that gives you just a little edge over the other guy.

Right now I could use a hug as I don't have any friends anymore so I'm very glad to be a part of this community. I've been banned from every other online place I've joined.






















No. Just kidding ofc. ::
I'm a regular computer guy. Maintaining the infrastructure in a large company.
I just had a vision of "How would a spammer or virus maker present himself"

Several roles -

Main one is to supervise and examine PhDs/Doctoral candidates in the areas of philosophy and organisation theory/studies. (I hold a PhD in philosophy plus an MBA and various other post graduate qualifications.)

Secondary ones -

i) research and publication including academic and technical editing and proofreading.

ii) media management, production and training - especially for broadcast.

iii) market gardening/small scale farming - we have 4 acres of land attached to our house which is farmed. Plus we grow most of our own fruit (apples, oranges, lemons, figs, grapes, peach, kumquats, limes, nespero, olives) and veg (potatoes, brocolli, asparagus, lettuce, cabbage, garlic, artichokes) and barter the surplus for meat. We rather bizarrely have a 1/12 share of the local school's pet donkey.

Cheers,
Tony

Currently I'm living on a loan from the government, and have been for a few years now. They'll be expecting that money back sometime though... so I'm studying mechanical engineering at the university in Enschede. I'm hoping to get a job as an operations manager.
At the moment I'm trying to get an internship in New Zealand and I'm hoping to receive my masters degree in 2009.

I only got the yellow one. Stopped 5 years ago because I was only 15 and all of the others were 25+.
Guess who got his ass kicked....



But Marcus, what sort of karate did you learn? Were you in a fight with all the other colored belts when you had to get your yellow one too? (I don't know the exact name of the one I learned, but that's how I got mine)

Edit: Oh and to stay on topic, I'm a student. Graduating from senior high school this summer. However, I am currently unemployed.

Im a student
And im planning on going to conservatory or to study maths, architecture at a university
Gonna a be a BIG choice, and I still don't know what to pick.
If I follow my feeling and go for a job I probably love, it's gonna be guitar.
But university level maths = big money.
So I mainly got to choice between my 2 big loves : guitar and money ^^
But I got like 1,5 more years to make my choice

Posted by: Smells Apr 8 2008, 01:31 PM

dull n boring here I`m afraid, Depot Manager for a fuel oil distribution company, an aside to this as it doesnt involve me having to do a lot except for being here! I do the Health & safety for the whole group which involved having to study for a National general Certificate in Health & Safety, probably the hardest studying I`ve had to do since leaving school so it came as a bit of shock but in short I hate it, pays the bills and keeps me in guitars and stuff so its not all bad

Posted by: tonymiro Apr 8 2008, 09:51 PM

Isn't that true of most jobs though Smells .

Posted by: StringBender Apr 20 2008, 12:53 PM

Started out when I was young(16 years) as a kitchen Chef, after that worked my way up to be manager in bars, disco's, clubs and after that owned my own bar.

I am currently an Advertising Company owner. We do (3D)graphics, web design/development and more stuff like that.
Next to my current business I am looking to start a company that will do video game productions.

This is a cool thread. It's nice to see what everybody is doing in real life.
