As the title says..

 

What do you do, and do you enjoy doing it or is it just a stop gap until you find something you want to do?

Currently live off my savings but I do random graphic/web design jobs for people to keep me going.

 

It's nice to have a skill.

I work in Advertising as an Art Director. Basically I get paid to think up ideas to sell peoples crap and get access to an unlimited supply of free alcohol, available 24 hrs a day.

 

Plus, I get to ride my bike to work everyday. There's no better job than that

<--- Environmental and Planning Consultant (private company)

 

Work is good and challenging, if a little boring at times. Writing DA reports for little jobs is pretty mind-numbing.

Software Engineer, currently working on electronic conveyancing. I like programming, I work with good people, yeah I enjoy my job.

I'm a laborer (transport etc)/surf bum for this year, was real keen to join Vic police when i left school, however it seems that force command don't like young white males who have just finished high school. The lack of life experience i can understand but when chic's the same age as me are getting in it sorta burns. anyways i passed (raped) the entry tests and after speaking to a few cops i knew decided to leave it for now and didn't hand in the the application paperwork.

 

i work part time as a pizza chef at la porchetta as well, which isnt to bad, and im real keen for uni next year in melbourne.

 

so yeah, i hate my primary job but it gives me enough money working a couple of days a week, and surf etc

Technical Consultant/Team Lead for HP.

 

i dont like managing people.. i want to be their friends and it annoys me that i have to always manage people that are older than me that just dont seem to care..

+1 - I'm in the same boat. Young or old, some people just don't care.

System/Network Administrator for a Port in Nth Qld with approx 100 pc's (and users) running Citrix, GIS, Financial Systems and SQL Databases. Going through a "growth spurt" at the moment with extra staff ... and extra pc's.

My favourite quote at the moment is "and you want that when!".

 

Originally started as a tech 13 yrs ago and survived all the "staff cutbacks" (IT staff of 2) to today (IT staff of 6). I don't know if enjoy is the word I would use to describe my job now .... it was fun/enjoyable once but the more responsibility you get the less fun it is. I'm good at what I do and it pays the bills.

im a sous chef at a modern Australian restaurant with some Italian and provincial Spanish backgrounds.

 

Love my job, Hate the repetition of cooking and also hate customers and the type of people the restaurant industry attract, Thats why im joining the army (here comes new career in telecoms and electro systems)

I,m in geophysical survey and logging,

we put a bunch of sensory equipement, including radioactive sources ,down drillholes in exploration sites for rio tinto and bhp.

We do this to determine the size and parameters of ore bodies for the geologists.

Always learning more about geology and geophysical forces and properties every day i,m at work, so its interesting which is a change from what i used to do.

Its outside in some of the most spectacular scenery and landscapes you,d ever see,so i get plenty of sun and fresh air and i,m loving it at the moment!

I work for the local Council planting trees. I'm at home now for lunch. I live 200 metres from the depot. I often sleep during my lunch break in a nice park somewhere. Sometimes we don't work after lunch. We often have BBQ's for random reasons.

 

I recently got paid 7 hours overtime, plus allowances, watering in the rain. 9 day fortnight too.

 

My wife works as a Flight Attendant for Virgin so being so close to home allows me to look after the baby most of the time. So, basically, I'm a sometimes part-time/full-timevstay-at-home Dad with a full-time job.

 

I love my job. It's nice having zero cares in the world.

I'm still in Year 10 so I'm to lazy to go find a job

Me and Slavak can be bum buddies

 

Edit- I ONLY JUST REALISED HOW WRONG THAT SOUNDS!!!!

council worker blah... one time i saw council workers fixing up a bridge and here is the awesomeness of it. 2 workers were working and 1 worker was FISHING!!!

 

i was like LOLWTFHAXORZBBQL33T nice job you got there

_f0r3st.au' date=' post: 83013"']I Love my job, Hate the repetition of cooking and also hate customers and the type of people the restaurant industry attracts.

 

+1 but I'm a apprentice chef I will finally qualify in a couple of months and I really hate the place I'm working at right now because of the horrible double standards and politics. I can't explain it to people who aren't chefs very well but suffice to say a good kitchen crew is a happy mix of military rank & discipline with a good dash of pirate charm. You can have a incredibly good time in a kitchen without dropping your standards of work but the kitchen I'm currently in certainly isn't like that.

 

Most of you already know I intend on leaving the industry after I qualify and I'm looking at going into Health & Safety since I'm bit of a common sense nazi.

i used to work as a kitchenhand part after school sorta stuff but mostly weekends and you learn to hate some people and like other.

but i did get to laugh at the chef when a customer was being a bitch

eg i want this rare but no blood

Feeling that I'm sorry but I have being trained how to cook steaks you have stated your preference to a trained professional and when we cook it to your stated choice you turn around and tell us its wrong. No madam/sir/******** it is you who is wrong you don't know what your asking for.

ever heard of steak cooked BLUE

 

 

 

 

Its were you only cook it enough to not get food poisoning

I service Radiotherapy machines (cancer zappers). Interesting job that I enjoy mostly. Lots of waiting for **** to happen, but when it happens have to move quickly to fix the problem. Can be high pressure due to machines must be running as patients can't stop their treatment course for more than a few days. (treatment course usually 4 weeks).

I am a Agribusiness Manager I take care of 70 Farmers by lending them cash and givining them advice on how they can better there business.

 

I love it been doing it for 7 years nothing better then having a job that you don't have to spend all day in the office it is good to get Sheep and Cow crap on the boots

I'm a bum and I love it.

 

I work in the same profession as Slavak does, see your tax dollars are not going to waste there bringing up my children . it's much appreciated.
