You may be lying, but I'm not.
I worked for an in home division of a Perfect 10, an adult entertainment company when I was about 9-11. My mom worked there too though and they let me come to work with her during the summers. I sorted mail, read orders, sent catalogs, and pretty much anything that had to do with mailing. Still, I saw boobs and junk daily. I didn't get paid much though :| I wish I still worked there
You may be 15 but it's totally possible..... in a way.
I guess all I plan on doing for a living is rescuing and rehabilitating wolves and wolfdogs, and once my friend gets back from the army, I'll be tattooing on the side. I'm sure I'll always continue to do the occasional oddjob of webdesign and what have you too though.

At first I was like " wtf at 9-11?" before I started reading the whole post.
Good on you for rescuing wolfdogs and wolves! It sounds like a cool life goal.

I work for a rental AV company during the week as a technician, and I supervise checkouts at a local Woolworths on some weekends.

The pay for the rental AV is fantastic, as the local council hires us to do free public movies screenings in our city's more frequented locations. Quite literally, I spend most of my time sitting and watching the movie, and packing it up after.

It's nice work even though I'm always busy. On the plus side, I've always got something to spend.

Actually "I don't know" isn't a shocking spamgasm in a topic where really, quite a lot of people don't know what they want to do.
It's no more spam than someone posting a job title and nothing else.

How are you suppose to form a conversation of someone saying 'Uhhh, I don't know.'?
If someone says, 'walmart employee', I can ask them plenty of questions. I'm pretty sure that's not the same thing.

Actually I don't know too
To make it less spamm-ish
-inserts random story here-
I worked for a filming company when I was 9 and signed a contract with them. Turned out they were going to send me in a cargo plane to India. I had no choice, I was struggling as tears streamed down my soft tender cheeks. When I reached India, there was a big black guy wanting to amputate me. I ran as fast as I could and on the way, met Indiana Jones. He was really a nice person. We went to the cricket forest and brought back a golden cricket which costs 50 USD. We camped around hoping to find more. Next morning, I woke up only to find out he ran away with the golden cricket we found I had no choice and went on the streets to beg for some money. I saw James Bond and stole his cheque. Took a flight back home and here I am.

I am in my last year at Penn State for Information Sciences and Technology.

I'm passionate about 405034 things, so some of my future career choices include: freelance web/graphic design, wedding photographer, food blogist, personal chef, hotdog shop owner, professional bowler, and a barista.

Right now I work for a company that sells equipment for special needs kids. I am working on their website, putting all of their products into a shopping-cart format, and do some shipping and recieving.

I worked at Wendy's in high school and my first year of college and it is something I miss terribly, surprisingly.

I right now am a Substitute Teacher during the day. Gradeschool quite a bit, but some Highschool...just depends what the districts need around here. After i leave from that job I go to Sonic....joy for joy...and I am actually one of the people who skates around there.



I have my Degree in Graphic Design though so I'll be moving in a few months to pursue that though as there isn't much demand for it here.

Why don't you move to another city for it? I know that my friends who went to New York or Los Angeles to pursue a graphic arts career.

I am moving to another city. that is why I am moving in a few months. I have a friend in San Fran, one in Chicago, and one in NYC that are willing to give me free room and board for a month or so. I just have to decide where I want to go out of those .

I plan to work as an electrical engineer. EEs basically design electrical systems. Some work in high-power industries, some work designing micro/nano-electronics, some work in telecommunications designing antennas and equipment, some work in signal processing, etc..

It's a versatile profession with a lot of potential paths. I think I plan to do some electronics/systems engineering in the telecommunications sector. That would involve designing high-frequency electrical circuits (maybe even optical systems!), possibly design antennas, etc. For example, a company I would love to work (based on the work I believe they do) is COM DEV in Canada, which specializes in designing space satellites and all the stuff in them. I would be living my childhood dream in a way since I wanted to do something space-related as a kid.

I'm planning to do a MS degree (two more years) in EE after I graduate from my BS this year though. These are my reasons:
a) Many entry-level jobs in the field I want to enter prefer a masters graduate. It usually says this right in the job advertisement.
b) Right now is a convenient time for me to do two more years of school. Not much is tying me down.
c) I enjoy what I'm doing, even though the workload is sometimes crazy, and I want to get very good at it.
d) MS holders tend to get compensated more for their work, though if I were offered the same wages as a BS it would definitely not be a deal-breaker.
e) It's an opportunity to do some original research and maybe contribute something useful to academia, which is always neat.


Also, please don't confuse that with 'electrician' since that's happened so many times. Electricians do very little design.
