Reminds me a little of this topic: where do you work?

It always is interesting to discuss though so hmmm. I'm basically categorized as a entry level software engineer at a startup company. Don't know where I'll be in the future, thinking database developer or maybe if I weren't so lazy something involving wall street.

Right now I just type, type, type, edit documents and stuff. I transcribe. I also go to school. Outside of this I do book-keeping, twitter updates and facebook updates for a business. Big bucks! I do hope however to be a business owner myself. Whether it be my own set-up business or a franchise, only time will tell.

I like being my own boss. :)
Big detour from studying physics and even trying to get into the engineering field to ... well, business and management.

Edit:
@Georgie: Isn't that thread just where you work? It's kind of different knowing what you want to do in life vs. where you actually work. I take it not everyone in this neocodex forums will be working flipping burgers for their living, ha.

Sure i know what you mean Gee, the title is slightly different, but I'm sure some elaboration in the other topic would be more suitable than a whole new topic, else we would probably have 100 thread flying around with similar duplicates just because there's another one with a slightly different title?

Up to you guys of course :)

My dad is a human resource specialist. It is dull, but it pays the bills.

I'm planning on entering the entrepreneur class, as soon as I have sufficient capital. But for now, I'm pursuing a BA in English and delivering pizzas to pay the bills. More dull than human resources I'm afraid.

Don't we all...don't we all. I somewhat envy those rich kids with rich parents who spoil them to hell but then when I think about it, they're screwed if the money runs out.

Best way to easy money is to start your own business.

You kidding? I can either show up to work and stack toilet paper, or go through all the work to start and fund my own business.

Frankly, the paper sounds more appealing.

Ha, that's an interesting job :p I'm not kidding though, the early stages are tough but if you do get through it and your business survives you can just hire people to run the business without doing anything much and still get profit.

I'm a pharmacy technician. But for a long time, I worked tirelessly into the night to make sure the good customers of Walgreen's could buy their toilet paper and funny smelling sprays.

Probably go across the street to the other Superstore.

Though, I gotta say, the Night shift rocks, no customers to pester me, just me, my boxes, and my generic Japanese pop.
