I am still in high school at the moment, but I have been working at the family business doing different manual labor jobs since I was 10ish like sorting hangers and stringing laundry bags.  Last year I started working a lot more since I could drive and somehow ended up in the office one day where I am now building spreadsheets/binders for all of the delivery routes.
I'm in my junior year. 2015 is coming...
Same.  We are almost ready to go into the exciting world of working and paying a lot of bills!
That bad ass that your the same class as mine.

Not technically.  Turf did mention that he was an underwear model so I'm pretty sure he gets his hands dirty  ;D

I'm a web developer at 3 canadian national museums (more like webmaster-ish (maintenance and such), but we will be doing more development soon). Nothing too special, but it pays well and it's sometimes fun. Definitely better than working for a web company.

Haha, I feel you. I was an intern in web development last summer and man, that sucked. The company was awful though, so I can't blame the job itself.


I'm still a student in college, but I'm supposed to get my diploma in December this year. I study computer science, and while I don't know exactly what I'd like to do afterwards, I'm 110% certain that I don't wanna manage networks or be the IT (read "do-it-all-person-when-shit-breaks") of any company. :P I do know that in programming, I have always preferred projects about making video games over anything else. I kinda like making web sites too, but I suck at designing them. Or at least, I don't really like designs I make myself.

My experience with working at actual web companies (I worked for 3 different ones) has been consistently terrible. If you want to work in web, my suggestion is to either work as a webmaster/developer for a non-web company, or work for the government. Maybe take some contracts independently in addition to that if you can manage that.

I've been considering this for a while, it's good to know that someone else thinks it might be a good idea! I can't wait to graduate and finally do something. :)

I am a high school engineering teacher.

Incidentally, Matt, i may have to pick your brain.  I've been tasked by our Autos teacher to develop a web application to do work orders and technician tasks and such...

Right now, Im a stay at home dad ... but with my kids both going to be in full time school starting next summer, I plan to dabble in the world of pest control. Before I stayed at home, I was an animal control officer for about 5 years as well as a vet tech for a few more years. While doing the vet tech stuff, I also helped train birds and raised reptiles. At one time, I had 19 different turtle enclosures in my apartment. I would love to get a herpetology degree but there is nothing like that locally.

i was a stay at home dad for 6 months. only so much tellytubbies you can watch (that amount is none)

I'm an underwear model.

Taking half naked selfies and sending them to random people doesnt quite qualify as an underwear model.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH funny funny funny stuff  ;)  You two I swear, should do a video game review video series together or something.  Your personalities clash just right for very entertaining comedy.
