    What do you do for work? Career?

    "What are you taking in school" thread was inspired by the Hobbies thread. Inspired by these two threads, I became curious as to what kinda work you do now to afford your habits (school, car, booze, car parts, booze etc).

    Some recent jobs
    - car wash and detail boy :x
    - snowboard instructor
    I'm currently a cook at a popular restaurant. Funnest job so far. Teaching snowboarding is cool because you get a free pass, but i hated putting up with people who coud barely stand up - some frustrating stuff.

    I'm in high school, so cashier at a super market. It's lame, but I gets the cash money so it's all good.
    The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

        I am the director of operations for a company called Netlive. We built a proprietary video chat platform using Flash Communication Server and designed a few proof-of-concept sites around it to raise VC and generate interest. Basically I work with our CEO to develop marketing strategies and build relationships with potential partners and investors.

          I own a tanning salon in Southern California... It's been in business since 1986.

          Not bad considering I'm 18.

                      I am a nanny for 3 different families here in Washington DC. I also have done a lot of teaching of music and art to pre-schoolers and their parents.

                      I will be going to Massage therapy school as soon as I move to Nashville to FINALLY get certified. I have a dear friend that is HUGE in Nashville and is my greatest back rub fans. He has promised to refer me all over the place. It is the only way I would go into massage therapy, (a built in referral network) it is much to difficult to build a business for yourself otherwise. It is an extremely saturated market. That's a shame, because the truly gifted masseurs, like myself ;), have a hard time finding work when MT's are a dime a dozen.
