Preserved Topic: how do you make yours?

Yeah. How do you make your $ / what is your line(s) of work?

Me? I do odd jobs. Fence painting right now. I also do some freelancing video projects for local churches. I am also goin to college, and am trying to get scholarships for that as well. (but the school has been screwing with me.)

Next?

                                                           

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.

hehe slime, dont be shy. we wont laugh...


well, i am doing a little php programming and image manipulating for a local company.

I'm unemployed, and undecided on what I'll train for when I go to university.
I have no $

I'm working a full-time job at DaimlerChrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI. I'm part of a programming team working on development of a new application for use in a new product at Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealerships. Sorry but I can't tell you any more than that

In the fall I'm going to be going back to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to continue my education in Computer Science. While I'm there I'll be working part-time for DC from my dorm room

I make money by going out side and shake the money tree!!!, hehe!

No, I get paid by the college to go to college (if you get what I mean) it's sort of free education money if you like , but you have to be in all the time to get it though. I'm looking for summer work/placement, etc and have sent piles of letters of a few weeks ago to companies and no returns yet . Aww well I keep trying but for some reason I think I'm aiming at the wrong area of the market tho..hhmm.....

I work on missile systems and build bombs.
Been doing it for a few years now.
In my free time, I used to do a bit of free-lance design stuff as part of a 4 man team... but not anymore...
...just kinda focusing on enjoying the edges of the web that I find appealing right now.

Part-time janitor. A whopping 5 hours a week. Gotta love it.

I do some freelance when the mood strikes me.

Good thing I got myself a sugarmomma to be the major bread winner around here. She can't wait to get back to work and let me handle the kids full-time.

I play with databases for my employer's Marketing Department. My job's like being the bastard son of I.T. and Marketing, and neither department really knows what I do or how I do it.



Odd behavior; even temperament...

I ship and receive aftermarket auto body parts forty hours a week and spend the rest of my time trying to master PS, IR, etc.

"I do freelance design in my free time."


Yeah, I'm thinking of doing some freelance thoracic surgery in mine.

~slow burgeoning grin~

Child Care, Lawn Cutting, Freelance Web Developement

I am a trainer for a pharmaceutical automation company. We build robotic dispensing systems that go in pharmacies. See pictures

Basically my company sends me around to train people on our systems and to flirt with cute technicians in pharmacies.

I knock off uncooperative school administrators; my card sir... ~hand Izz a business card~

i mug innocent children and helpless old ladies for my money

no no...but from time to time i help out at a bakery that my moms friend owns, or help out at this italian restaurant when they get busy.

other than that i sit around waiting for money

I do pro audio. I try to do mostly live stuff, but DJ gigs make more money for less work.

They pay me to say "Have a RALLY great day!"

Yup, $5.75 an hour.

Michael, are you serious?

My dad used to do this but now he just sells them. I'm being serious.

Anyway, I'm a college student studying for a double AA in Graphic Design/Business Management. How I will get both... I don't know. I don't make money. I'm not into counterfeit dollar production. When I need money I call up my parents and ask for it. Ah, the life of a college student.

--Sarcasm-- (Warning! Unfunny, gross, and despicable "adult" humour.)
Aside from that... I don't think I've made an *HONEST* dime in my life. Well, ya, I did. I sold a plastic baseball bat when I was 10 to a 7-year old for $10 which he had to "borrow" from his mom's purse. Yes, the purse was very kind to him. His mom came over to my house and started bitching at me. I refunded the kid's purchase and started bashing her face in with the bat... I went to juvenile hall for that and now I'm a convicted felon. I'm suprised I'm in college right now. Now, back to making money. I sell drugs and drug paraphenelia to schoolyard children and I'm the local playground pimp. I prostitute young children to Catholic priests and make a pretty good living doing so. The priests clear me of my sins and guarantee me passage into Heaven. I was even told that I can rape as many women as I wanted and pillage as many villages as I could as long as I sold them small male children. Ya know... I'm getting tired of the playground pimp business. I think I'll move into the goat porn industry.. the kind where midgets and goats get along... "fine."
--End Sarcasm-- (Sorry if it was obscene but I warned you!)

Forgot. I also do freelance work and I'm in the planning stages of starting my own design and development firm complete with manufacturing and high-tech equipment that'll make you cry.

It takes some people 2 years to get 100 posts...

Raptor: How do you think I make my money???

Drive by stripping - we cruise around when it is busy, spot a big crowd of people and stop - I start to do my thang and my friends pass around the hat to collect enough money to make me stop.

It doesn't actually make much money (and that usually has to go on the medical and dental bills) but its more of a vocation

dang it bob... we just had tile put down thru out house and it was *my* job to fix the carpet, do thresh holds and play with z brackets and burn out tapcon bits in our cement floor. Talkin about a fun time. um...no. I coulda used some tips!

As some of you might have seen due to my previous post on the subject I'm maybe switching jobs. Nothing's settled yet though, so here's my present facts:

Most of my time, I'm working as an eCommerce Manager at a big recently merged IT-company
I can relate to what Wang described, since I've been doubling as Interactive Marketing Manager.

That basicly means that I'm in charge of the team that handles our 6 websites, as well as playing "Style Police" when it comes to online marketing and branding.

In my free time, I work as a chef, bartender, snowboard instructor and do a bit of freelance design.

im a 14 year old how do i make my Money? by spongeing off my parents

my dads come to think of me as a "parasite"
i feel loved

Job? who the hell do you think am I?

If I had a job I will trash years and years on non-job family tradition!!!

and I do some web desing for hobbie, not that I'm good, but some people seems to like the shit that I do.

Now I'm waiting to have my Spanish Nacionality to have a decent job (yes, and trash years of family traditios, my dad is going to kill me). In the mean while I work sometimes for an Advertising Agency and some weekends in a bar (It's cool, you don't have to pay you drinks and they take you home if you cannot move in the morning)

Money?
What-dat-den???

I write this message from an internet Cafe where I work now and again. With that and 'sponging' as Trigger put it , I get by(usually drunk).

But Im having problems getting web design jobs(Ive gotten two offers: One guy wanted me to rip off someone elses design ... NO! And the other was to make a 'front' for a CD/MP3 selling business which was caught.)

I work in a workshop that manufactures cargo equipment.
I use the lathe to make shafts.

I am an advertising consultant for a big national publication. I actually sell advertisement in print and internet.

~Binary is best~

multi-media producer

I create training CD-ROM's and CD/web hybrid productions for a software development company.
We serve the utility market (electric, water, telephone companies)

Been in the IT/web-related stuff since -96
First as a system-manager for a nation-wide intranet serving 10.000 ppl that we specified and "ordered" from the internal IT-division.
Even back then we tied it into SAP and personell-systems creating automated user-profiles/searches and so on.

In 2000 I got on the startup-train as a webdeveloper/tech-projectleader, that held for a year, after that I went on to a "solid" company as a tech-projectleader/webdeveloper (note the order...).
Then they closed down our department in late April 2002, right now I'm searching for jobs and doing some freelance-web-stuff in the meantime.

Well, as I have made mention of my line of work before, some of you probably already know. I'm a Korean-English translator, working for various concerns here in Korea. Starting next year, though, I will hopefully be receiving a monthly study grant when I begin my PhD program. Straight into the bank, baby.

I install windows, doors, siding and roofing for my father's home improvement company here in Michigan. It sucks during the winter! It's hard work, but the money is better than most professional careers.

I am also going to school for Graphic Design, and will complete in December. I am getting into website development as well and have been generating a slight income from it. Though not much, I find it relaxing, fun, and interesting and I would do it for free.

When I was 15, I worked for a company that manufactured armpit absorbing pads that you stick to the inner sleeve of your shirt. I am not very proud of this, but am proud of the fact that Kim Basinger was a big buyer for them. I had to count out 5 at a time, put them in a plastic sheeth and then seal them.

I have also been known to turn tricks at your local inner city alleyways.

BTW eyezaer, try using a HILTI with red loads for fastening to cement floors. Not only is it faster, but you can pretend you are blowing a hole through your boss' chest. Oh wait, that would be my dad! They are pricey though...

I am a full time criminal, part-time web designer. Currently helping build a company and getting patent/trademark stuff moving for it...but the crime pays the bills.

Kidnapping and holding for ransom the poodles of older rich widows eats my weekdays, weekends too. Started out as a hobby (well a passion really) but recently I've gone pro. It's nice to see it pay for itself too - dog food's expensive.

Well, the question is how do you make money...technically I'm in debt, so I don't make any money, suggestions welcome. Otherwise I make money stealing time on my dad's offset printing presses experimenting with photo-etched polymer plates, rare cotton papers, light sensitivive green inks, microprint, magnetic strips, and watermarking. Just kidding. Or something. My job, lets see...freelance and inhouse web design including full and partial sites and online product demos; print design including posters, brochures, partial book design, formal invitations, show flyers, business cards; illustration; yard work; and any combination of the above.

I work for SAP...at the moment, in the Customer Care dept. I am hoping that I'll get a shot at the Design Dept. for the Internet site from SAP (man, does it need a lot of work...wish I could show it to you guys, but you need a password...*sigh* This site is practically un-navigatable...and includes literally thousands of pages...our customers hate it...and so do I).

I won't go into all the jobs I've done before...the list is just too long, and some of it is classified, anyway. Before SAP, I was self-employed, with a small business in web-design, but that dream got cancelled...damn internet mafia.

I got a lucky break, and got hired by SAP. The past month (because of the economic situation here in Germany, or lack thereof), I had to fight very hard to keep my job...and beat out 5 others competing for the same position. They are now gone...I only survived because of my 'networking' skills...and it was a very near thing. Took a lot out of me...I'm pretty burnt out right now. But at least my contract for the next year got re-approved...thank god. Being out of work here in Germany right now is deadly, because nobody is hiring, just firing (or going bankrupt). Feel kinda sorry for the others, but them's the breaks. The current 'feeling' here is...somewhat down. Such in-fighting always generates bad 'vibes' in an office...esp. among the co-workers who were on good terms with those that got the axe...I guess they don't like me all that much...as if I was the reason for it all. Strange, how people react like that. Good thing my work is top notch (the best in this department), and that I've never been sick during my job here. All these things add up, believe me. That, combined with my good relationship with higher management, saved my behind. I'm also the only foriegner in my dept. - stranger in a strange land...

Right now, I'm technically listed as the system administrator for a Telecommunications company that handles PCS cellphones and has an ISP division. However, they've had me do everything from the company website to network routing and ISP sysadmin stuff.

It's actually a great job because I get to do a lot of things I wouldn't normally do in this position. And the shortage of qualified technical specialists here means that I'm in a pretty comfortable position.

But, as usual, I'm still overworked and underappreciated.
