I dont expect to have kids or a family so that probably isnt important.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I am a self employed telemarketer, I don't do residential it is business to business and I flog labelling and barcoding solutions to factories and warehouses for one client at the moment. I get paid £2700 for 10 days work, but I don't have any real security as I only find out month to month if I am still working for them.
It is going well but my GF wants to move to Birmingham and get a place with me and I don't know if I should try and buy a property because the work could just stop at any time and I'm not really up to the eyeballs with qualifications (although I have been to Hamburger University :eek: ) and would never be able to earn this amount of money again.

Re: Job, what do you do?
While I have friends / loved ones I never seriously worry about losing everything. There are at least 20-30 people I could turn to if I lost my home & job. Also, unless the economy turned drastically worse, I think as a reasonably educated/healthy male in his twenties there will often be work available for people like me. Even if it was cleaning toilets or whatnot, I'm not particularly proud.
I currently work in housing (which is a pretty solid area of work in the UK) so I doubt my firm will go bust any time soon. I could be fired if anyone of about 10 things were discovered by my employers, but I doubt it'll come to that. My job title is Property Information Analyst but basically I just go round solving mysteries, fighting injustices and producing stock condition information about 1960's built local authority housing.
I do a second job for a University which I'm not dependent on so I wouldn't care if I got fired.

It's not that hard to get a job that pays enough to live.
finding something you want to do and where you want to do it is a different thing.
I don't like people worrying about money, they should worry about being happy first.
If I'm ever not happy I will do something about it... (yes I know it's easy enough to say it blah blah)
But yeh, i guess i'm in a kind of careerish thing now so I worry even less....

I used to think that marriage was an obsolete institution, a relic of tradition. Then I met my wife and lived with her for 3 years unmarried and I began to become aware of a lack of 'legitimacy' of our relationship in the eyes of others and internally too. If something were to happen to me or her, for instance, I or her would not be recognized for the vital role we play in each others lives. This feeling grew to the point that I felt that it was unacceptable. I still think marriage is a clumsy and dated system, but I'm beginning to appreciate the sacred nature of it? I'm not sure. It's not what I thought it would be.

Well there are legal benefits such as those you mention, as well as tax issues. As long as decent prenups were drawn up I wouldnt say that there was anything wrong with marriage as such, I'm just not particularly attracted to the idea.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I get loaned money by the government at a wonderful rate of interest to learn how to suck our country dry. I may be first up against the wall when the revolution comes, but hopefully I'll have earned enough to bribe them into not killing me. I piss most of this money up against the wall (literally, as it happened, last night), although a fair wad gets spunked at the University every year. The rest goes to that other lot sucking us dry - the student lettings market.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I am unemployed. Hooray!
Offical advice recieved today from the Department of Social Welfare was that if I need money that I should sell my car. (This I listed as my only actual asset, which is true)
I would never have thought of that!
They won't be giving me any assistance until my documentation comes from my old employer, who (apparently) have a habit of 'forgetting' or losing them.
I don't particularly worry about losing everything and having no money, as that's what is happening now. I have enough to live on for about two weeks. I've survived it before, I'll survive it again.
Though the fact that I seem the be scrounging around on the bottom rung of society, only getting minimum wage jobs after spending 17 years in school is quite annoying. University told us we'd all get good jobs and be comfortable or rich.
The lied to us.
Who'd have thought.

Well at the moment I scrounge off my parents and top this up working for a couple of months each summer as an auditor. From next September though I'll be doing that full time with Deloitte, hopefully.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I am a local level environmental taxman. I answer letters of complaint that has to do with taxes a waterboard send out. Partly I am also that guy that sends out taxcollectors towards people that aren't paying their taxes in a legit way.
I don't believe in marriage but I would like to get a kid (daughter preferably) one day.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I'm doing a law conversion course this year, then the Bar course next year, then a year of pupillage on pretty much minimum wage. I may have a "good and stable income" by about 2019. If I'm lucky.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I work with kids, aged 6-10. After school, so the hours fit me perfectly, and even if the salary is piss and the job is very stressfull sometimes, I get paid to drink coco and play with lego so I should not really complain. Im going to get a "better" job when I finish with the whole school thing (9 exams in may/june).
I also work in a kitchen, but I dont get money for it and its not really a job, as theres no contract, bosses, schedules or anything.
Im not afraid of not getting money, as I dont need that much. My plan is to raise enough to move to eastasia with my best friend and open a bar and live off that. You know, charging outrageous prices and serving pisswarm beer to stupid yanks and other tourists
And I will never get married, if not for legal reasons (ie getting benefits). I want children, but i should find somebody to have them with before i go around wanting them i thinkt. And since I only fall in love with people I should not, and then always **** up, the future does not really look good in that department.

Re: Job, what do you do?
Im working in a software firm that produces law software to automate every aspect in all levels of public law stablishments, but unfortunantely im just a tester guy so Im not making much moneys from it.
Ive recently changed my schedule to work part time only so im earning a lot less. My plan was to be more happy by playing games and whatnot but it has failed miserably as games today are shit and apparently im growing too old to be entertained by them, so I´m just wasting my time.
The thing is that when graduate in Laws in brazil there is only one way to go: Public service. You have to become a state attourney, a judge or whatever otherwise chances are that you will live on scraps with the other bajillion lawyers outhere. The only way to enter the public sphere is by being approved in a test where there like 30.000 ( no fooling around) applicants for one vacant job spot, meaning you are going to study 15hrs a day for 3 to 5 years to make it. Im currently quite worried about that, and I dont think its worth the effort.
However, being poor sucks. A lot. Im prolly going to start some paralegal gig and see how it develops.

A good standard what?
Money is useful because it enables you to do things. It enables you not to have to worry about things. But for actually buying things, it's pretty pointless. The first thing I did when I got the ability to borrow money was buy a CD player, a big TV, loads of computer stuff, books, DVDs etc. Once I had all the things I had wanted as a kid, I realised how rubbish it all was. Some stuff is useful, but things like "a big TV" isn't one of those things.
I certainly wouldn't want to have a car, it's just an obligation - something to worry about, and besides the only times I'd actually appreciate a car (coming home after a heavy night) are precisely the times you're not allowed to drive.
Once my debt has been cleared (probably about another ten years ) I'll probably cut my working hours by 40% and still live a pretty comfortable standard of living. I certainly won't be pining over any shit I don't own anymore.
Having said all of that, I'd quite like to be a professional criminal.

It's called capitalism, and most of the stuff we have been told are lies.
Sorry mate.
And for the record, Im a student.
I only work in the summers, period.
I dont even want to work then, but I have to get some work experience.
So Im going to apply for the same job as last summer. Looking after kids and having hot co-workers.

Why do you think I'm a girl? Do I seem very girly to you?
I have a good standard. But it's not that important, I would much rather live with the people I live with now and have a crappy tv then living alone in a palace.
I realized a long time ago that things dont really give happiness, neither does money. If you really want to get lots of money, it's not that hard. Wage-slaving to the max, or stressing your ass off selling drugs are two options that brings cash. However, I would much rather relax, work little and enjoy life then getting a hard job, lots of money and gadgets to use the few hours every day I would have to myself thank you.

Re: Job, what do you do?
I've just finished my undergraduate in Computer Science, preparing to start my MBA in September. I got a short term job since the 4th of january till next week, getting around 6k euros for the 5 weeks, doing logistics for transportation, accomodation, hours and operations management of 100 workers (now 60) at a worksite in Antwerp, Belgium. These workers are pipefitters, welders, painters, mechanics building modules of a large refinery for the norwegians (Aver Kvaerner).
