Hoe do you pay for your life? Tired of ads?

I was wondering what all you people do for a living so if you want, just go ahead and tell us what you do and how you got there.

I, for one, studied in administration.
My first job after school was in a bank, Bank of Montreal that is, as a loan’s officer, and I studied Mutual funds at nights. After 2 and a half I got tired of working for the f**cking bank of Montreal because they don’t give a **** of their customers so I decided to apply else where while keeping my job since I had completed my course in Mutual funds.
I found a job at Scotia Bank as an enterprise solutions consultant and worked there for 3 years and a half also….until the bank started to cut in spending….I lost my job because I was the last one in in my departement…I loved that job….
So I had to look for another job. I found this one, industrial coordonnator. I like it pretty much but it’s to freakin slow, not enough to do.
What I really want to work in is cars, I think that I will become a car broker part time and start a business out of it someday. I mean, I can find anycar outhere….why wouldn’t I use my knowledge ofr something I like? Right?

And what about you?

Spec.

Yes, that's why I checked the thread out. I figured I might be closing it based on that title.

And to answer the question. I'm an IT Director for one of the world's largest market research firms.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I'm a 3rd shift QC technician for a company that makes castor oil-based products. It pays very well, the work is light and I have unlimited internet access (which is why I'm on all night). That I work for a company that makes great use of a very renewable resource is just a bonus.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I'm working a one year contract (they want two; I'll do one) in South Korea teaching English to Koreans of all ages.

I survive hand to mouth on about $US 2500 a month plus theoretical overtime because I save most of my money and send it home to my poor mother.

When I go home:
-buy a 4-5 bedroom house for 22 000 down with my mother's help, rent out 4 bedrooms to students at $350 a month, $1600 p.a. taxes, roughly $500 mortgage payments.

-Go back to school for MA, then think about either:

a) Law School, my long term plan

b) another year overseas for more money, and then buy another property or possibly even a business as an income property, followed by lazily slouching around the world looking for my ideal woman in all the wrong places.

I'm 23 already, an old old man, so I gotta get started on this **** quick, I still want to see Nepal, India, Thailand, Japan, China, Mongolia, Coober Pedy Australia, Macchu Picchu, Teotihuacan, Rio de Janeiro, Las Vegas, Disney World, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Dublin, Florence, Rome, Venice, Amalfi Coast, the Pyramids, Greece, and the HP Lovecraft Tour of New England.

I manage the State of Tennessee for a Fortune 500 Mortgage Company. I have a slew of loan officers and a processing staff that I manage. High pressure, but lots of fun. Been doing this kind of thing for 17 years now. Started in Consumer finance and worked my way up after college.

Thanks. Who knows, maybe I'll have better luck with my web site design skills there as well, I certainly got nowhere here with them. I don't even care if I make any money from it, I just don't want to feel like I wasted three years of my life going to school. It sucks having a student loan to pay off, for skills I haven't even been able to use.

Nope, I've always been a comp sci major. I took a few ethics classes as an undergrad, but that's it -- I didn't minor in philosophy or anything like that, particularly since most philosophy courses seemed to be full of ****ers.
