The 'what do you do for a living?' thread.
« on: April 22, 2010, 12:22:22 pm »
I know a few people have mentioned what they do for a job (Emmett and Barry in particular) but I am curious to see how diverse a mix Sega fans are.

I design newspages for a number of local newspapers (under one group), although it is vaguely related to my degree course, in that, I do a fair amount of photoshop work and the rest of the job is fairly creative; I really would like to move more into media editing, such as film and sound editing.

I have done some freelance sound editing for the South African version of Buzz on PS3 but I don't know if it ever got released.

Apart from my main job I have done studio portaiture editing freelance work for my girlfriend when her job is busy (hopefully more soon as she starts her own business in less than two weeks)
and some product photography images that were used in the independant and a couple of glossy magazines.

So what do you guys do all day?

I procrastinate, mostly. On my free time I pretend I study computer engineering. It's pretty intense.

I am a surveyor and energy assessor, but I also run my own estate agency and partnership in several restaurants.

I basically tell people how to build houses and tell them the best way to insulate their homes or make it more energy efficient as well as selling them or renting them for them.

Also George wants to bang my secretary.

Aki:  That's interesting.  Energy Efficiency is a big deal here, since we can have -50 degree temperature weather in the Winter with our homes heated by oil.  

I do Real Estate here in Fairbanks, AK.  I have a Broker's license (which would allow me to open my own Brokerage), I am a Realtor for the REMAX here.  I also do property management, but only on the buildings I own personally, and one for my brother who decided to move away when his wife didn't want to come to Alaska.

You never told me you had a secretary.

I want Metakraken's life, by the way.

I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems.

Actually I am not certain what I would consider the title of my profession, but I guess you can say I am a sidekick to an independent contractor who does work on everything from homes to aircrafts. I also work on art and proposal designs/concepts for all kinds of things.

In the future I want to become a game designer or a cartoonist, or even a photographer.

Yeah, I am pretty boring.

Well here it has become a big deal in the UK, but only due to the European Union saying all member states have to have something to deal with climate change and what I do is basically compile a report that all properties must have whenever they wish to sell or rent a property detailing and recommending (The owner doesn't actually have to go through with it) what they can do to push down their energy bills and in particular their combon emission.

Pretty much go from recommending energy efficient light bulbs to changing their gas boiler.

I know I should use energy saving lightbulbs but they take too long to get bright enough, that and most the lights in my apartment are halogen bulbs.

Pretty interesting mix, everyone seems to be pretty creative which is pretty awesome.

Why wouldn't you want to move to Alaska, from what I've seen it looks pretty cool.
( I'm from Nottingham, where the poor rob the poor and keep it for themselves)

Well, basically I seduce rich men then steal their wallets while they sleep.

EDITED OUT

EVEN MORE SRZSLY I'm looking for another job at the moment, and I'm also at uni doing a Masters in Creative Writing, which is kinda funny considering I never did a Bachelor's in Creative Writing.

I teach elementary and junior high level English at some public schools in Japan right now. It isn't the kind of job I see myself doing much longer. This will be my third year and quite possibly my last if I can get my act together and really work hard to find a better paying job. I'd prefer to return to California and work in my home town, but I live where the work is. Right now work happens to be in Japan.
