    Now don't get your hopes up. I know these things are in short supply these days, but I'm curious. What's everypony's jobs? I just got one, and I'm starting tomorrow. I'll be installing sprinklers in buildings. Glamorous? No, but it pays and that's good enough for me.

    I was an office assisstant at my college's financial aid office. Easy work, but it was part of work study and I earned all the money they offered me last semester. So now, I'm jobless! Yay?

    I invented a third party program detecting program and i get money from it every week cause game companies pay monthly to use it. Small free to play game designers mostly, but its something.

    ^This. A bunch of drug addicts I knew from high school are getting jobs no sweat because they have connections, and yet here I am, completely clean, strong, and determined but no one wants me.

    I work at the Technology Resource Center at my College, it's a computer lab where we rent out calculators and laptops. Sound easy, think again.

    I've learned that a lot of jobs that sound easy turn out to be pretty difficult.


    Although I have a buddy who works at Lowe's, easiest job ever. He gets paid to steady ladders while people climb up them. Seriously, he gets paid to stand there and hold a ladder in place. And he only gets paid 3 bucks less an hour than I do, busting my hump all day every day. >.>

    I work at a paintball/ Minigolf place at the local mall.

    It's sort of a win win for me, because I really enjoy fixing the guns, refilling gas bottles and marshalling games. Sometimes people even challenge you. Free game! And I get paid for it!

    I used to lifeguard for two years. But then management changed and now I'm jobless :(

    But I'm going to be a full time student, so hopefully that'll make me feel like I have a purpose.

    I work for my father, who owns his own small business. I do miscellaneous stuff there, whatever needs to be done that day.

    He also buys storage units at those storage unit auctions, (like on "Storage Wars" but less glamorous) so I help with that as well.

    I don't have to drive anywhere, so I can't complain.
