What does your job entail? [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Khyron ]
While being a professional bum pays nothing at all, IT SURE IS FUN!
Also read as: I need a job.
Pool Tables, Video Games, Arcades, Slot Machines, Pinballs, etc etc.
I sit around make sure systems work, and do Data entry all day. Occasionally I go on a delivery and/or attend shows.
Also research monkey, so I analyze and research game media for the company, which includes System manufacturers, Console markets, publisher info, and release information.

I wish I could stay home all day... and do what I love (Games).
Unfortunately, there isn't any money in that, so that idea is a no-go.

What sort of education/experience did you need to land that job?

Not like its the best choice for me either, but its about all I've got in this area right now 
Aint shit here for tech type stuff, at least not right now, and at least not anything I'm qualified for. No college degree. Least not yet.
And I won't work fast food. Refuse to. Also wont do stuff that is 99% manual labor. Not because I cant, but because I dont want to
I am the person who is at fault when you call saying "The Internet is broken!"
I am the master linguist who is supposed to guess what your problem is when the only two words he understands are "Computer" and "broken".
I am the person who is ruining your business because it is currently "repair-backlogged" at the service center. If its any consolation, I wouldn't buy anything from a company that trusts all its information to one laptop.
I am the person telling to call the 900 line for support even though you're "only" six months out of your support warranty.
I am the person who will put you back in the same escalation queue you hung up on because 15 minutes was too long to wait. You'll be last in line, of course.

In short, I would be a systems & network administrator, except the company I work for doesn't like to give people titles.
I am truly sorry, everyone who has a job. Please believe it.

My god, 40 dollars a week?
My parents didnt even GIVE US an allowance. We did housework and chores because "we lived in the house". We didnt get an allowance because "we didnt need one"
40 dollars a week. I hate you.
Curious, do you have to use that to buy anything you need, or do your parents still buy all that stuff and the 40 dollars a week is pretty much good off money to do whatever with? [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]

$40 a week is absolutely nothing. Unless you live with parents and have ZERO expenses. Which he does so thats just fine.
But dont be jealous of $40 a week, Mcdonalds employees make 5x that much
And god damn where do mcdonals employees make that much money? I mean, damn. here they make 5 15 an hour. Thats IT. minimum wage. 200 a week. Sure, 5x that before taxes and all 
I made all of 7.60 an hour at my last job, and they ended up screwing me in the end.

Most fast food jobs are starting out around $8 an hour now, at least in my area.
The wendys near Michigan State University hires people in at $8.50 an hour.
I just deal with idiots all day, and they pay me lots. I bring people drinks, food, napkins, and plates..
I make 5.25 from the company, and then I make around 20-25 bucks an hour depending on the time of day. Minimal 15 dollars an hour though.
I also goto high school. I also goto college. Hurrah for my 2 hours of free time A WEEK.
We're talking 250+ users here.
It can become annoying as hell, because the Management knows sweet fuck all about computers.
Simple.. yet challeging

Just watch them? Hell, I want that job! Laziness ahoy!
Also when Parents come to pick them up, and their kid won't listen, I boom out telling them to leave. *snickers* Parents like that to, kids run like hell when I do.

im tyrign to get a regular job though, t wont pay as much, but it will be cosntant, and thjeyll acutally rember to pay me, guy at the super market said i could do deliveries at ngiht and weekends, but the aldy at my school who gives working papers is like never their
All in all I think we handle about fifteen or twenty lines. I don't take them all, because some are just in the morning, and I work second shift, but I know and handle the majority.
Of course, I could soon be saying I do tech support for the Dow AgroSciences Prolinx software and Dolphin hardware, etc, as that's the position with our Dow department that I've put in for. Different from normal tech support, as I'll only be dealing with Dow reps and not the normal consumer, and these reps at least have basic training in the software and hardware they use. Prolinx just basically irons out problems that occur.

My good job gives me 4 7 hour shifts a week, pays better, and it's a self serve gas station attendant, at one of the slower sunoco's in the city. I get paid $8 an hour to read a novel, or talk on the phone to my girlfriend, and take people's money occasionally. It's normally only like 140 transactions in a 7 hour shift which averages to around 1 customer every 3 minutes.
I love my jobs.
No, Really. Bite me.
Oh, and min wage here in oregon is $6.50/hr
Sometimes people try to talk to me, but they go away if I hide behind a shelf.

I used to do that as a second job up in Illinois. And that was my first job when I was fifteen.

I take classes and hang out friends for a living. Then I come home for my nightjob: Professional Annoyance. I always seem to get my parents/brother angry at me for whatever reason. I'm the innocent one, honest! 
Then I play computer games, teehee. ^^
