The official Employment Thread

[z31maniac]

Solid, pretty decent pay. Not really much of a challenge and the Fed's bury you in bullshit paperwork.

As long as the defense budget for new naval ships doesn't get drastically changed I should be good for at least another 4-7 years.

[Alkasquawlik]

I'm solid, atleast for the remainder of the summer until I go back to school, then I will try to find a job in Davis where I can work throughout the school year.

[325i_Medic]

Solid. Wife and I are both Paramedics for a municipal service. Not getting any work at either of my side jobs(Oil Refinery Medic and a Riverboat Deckhand). It's gotten out at work that I work on cars, so a couple of my coworkers want me to do some restoration work for them,

[Chachi]

[Ral]

solidly employed (contractually obligated for the next 9-10 years) and loving it. New phase of training starts Monday.

Am I the only one not self-employed that absolutely loves my job?

[e30trooper]

full time worker with shitty pay. a job i came back to.. sucks even more but it does pay and i work on cars. Today worked 8am-6:45pm - half hour lunch

[Justin B]

I am employed at a small electronics manufacturing company that builds battery chargers, testers, and conditioners for various aircraft and military applications. Pretty solidly employed, and at the moment I'm what myself and my coworkers call me "Mr. Activator", which is a unit we build and I'm the only one who is and knows how to build them right now. :D With my current legal troubles, I still have rides to work between one of the two brothers that work together there with me.

3. Started my web design company 2 years ago, I'm a professional Opera Singer and all of that work is 1099.

Planning on separating myself from the company and going on "Funemployment" for a few months a year to recoup my taxes! Luckily working as an 1099 contractor for opera doesn't disqualify me from "funemployment" so I get to continue working on the company and performing opera as much as I want and the government still gives me free money (otherwise known as my tax dollars)!!

That's a pretty sweet setup.

1, but the commute is a bag of fuck and a half.

4+ years solidly employed, internet advertising is still booming even in the midst of this recession.
