I'm in the Air Force, hitching rides in the back of planes (unlike pilots, I work) and looking for bad guys. It sounds much more exciting than it really is.

I do admin work for a commercial real estate company. I would love to do something more fun like work with animals or program computers. I might go back to school next semester to finish my degree.

i am currently a barista. thats right i work in a coffee shop, typical job for a college student.
My husband has a very romanticised view of what it must be like working in these places. Quite often we will be sitting in Starbucks and he'll look longingly at the staff and muse about how great it must be to work there and how lucky the staff are. Then I Sh*t on his dreams and tell him how much they get paid :evil:

I work part time in the financial services industry providing pensions and the like for people in retirement. Considering everything our company has had quite a good year. The rest of the time I look after my son.

I am a laboratory technician for a large company that manufactures tablets and inhalers. I have been there for 2 years now and although they have made a significant number of people redundant due to the cost of manufacture, my department is relatively safe for the time being so i am just happy to renew my contract every 6 months. I am lucky to even have a job in this day and age.

I'm a full-time student, and I work part-time in a card and gift store. Working retail helps motivate me to finish college so I don't have to work in retail the rest of my life. I wouldn't mind working in a little bookshop though...but that's just my secret dream.
