What do you do to make a living? Do you enjoy it?
    #19245373 - 12/08/13 02:45 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Just curious what everyone around here does for work, im a 19 year old freshman in college majoring in engineering science working two almost minimum wage job. But thats only because i cant seem to find anything other than these shitty minimum wage jobs around here that arent labor...im prob just not looking tooo hard which is dumb...but thats why im here i guess huh?

My girl works 40hrs a week but isnt going to college yet, we both wanna move in together tho and out of our parents house but dont wanna be broke. dont wanna do labor atm because i worked tobbaco for 5 years and im taking a break from labor work ahaha

i was lucky and knew someone in the industry. But if your looking to get involved with something like that my advice is to learn coding and network. You can get some killer books on amazon and teach yourself how to code, thats all the training i have. And get out there and meet people in the industry. It helps if you live in a larger city. Look up software/coding/startup conventions and meetups. Just start talking to people in that industry, if you have some coding knowledge and present yourself professionally you should have some good luck. And i say startups as opposed to established business's because they are more willing to take risks and look for young talent. Oh and look into possible internships as well if you can swing it, thats how i started.

You know man i just might...that was some damn good advice. Ive been thinking about how im good with computers and was considering a field in something revolving around them...i know how to script java a little and know a lot more about computers than most people but for coding thats all i know. I remember that shit wasnt easy too hahah. Thansk though for that man, take it easy

I build or add on to residential homes - I love it

But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go
If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite
The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Online/Telephone research - Survey developing and data processing.

Whilst I enjoy the work I do and I am suited to it, the technical skills are undervalued and I'm not recognised because I accepted the lowly admin position instead of holding out for a grad position.

I work for an international isanely profitable company but I make little more than minimum wage even though I've developed tools in Excel or SPSS that can automate the work of the graduates entirely.

Graduate produces a table in Excel/ SPSS = Promotion

I write macros to automate table production for any project = Meh


I have a relevant degree, work experience and skills but because all the seniors managers are non-techical, I'm just the nerd that does all the work for them but apparently it's not as valuable a skill as writing emails.  (I can do html, basic css or java, Excel or SPSS with macros, various data gathering software, reporting software and report production automation.  All seen as worthless skill in my company...)


I would love to move to a better company that recognised me for what I do because I have a genuine interest and ability for research and data.
