To put it simply "I leech off my parents" :p

I plan to take up a job in one of the following: graphics/programming/art/audio engineer/mechanical engineer/pure scientist/pure mathematician/philosopher :p

Same thing as above, except that my choices are restricted to only the last two. :p :D

Are those last two even jobs? don't you have to be like a Uni profesor or something to even make money?

Do you mean what job you have now, or what you want it to be?

Cause for me those are really two different things

Yes, I guess that would be my actual job then, but in one of those subjects, probably math. :D The pay sounds good enough (about $150k/year) although it cannot compare to what you would get in the corporate sector, but the work would not be work at all and you get much more freedom than with a corporate job. And of course, you get summers off to do what you please. :D

I'm not employable, in the strictest sense. Once in a while, I manage to get an odd job doing landscaping work (of the construction, ****-hauling variety, more than the rake-yer-leaves-for-ten-bucks variety), or webpage design. I'm trying to get a good job as a 3D designer, but since I can't stand Lightwave and have no experience at all with Maya, it's tough.

uh I originally was just thinking of Jobs now, but f\/ckit, the thread will most undoubtedly go its own way, something along the lines of "I really hate Avril Lavigne, that ugly wh0re" in 30 posts or so anyways.. :rolleyes:

I really don't see what your source for this concern is considering it seems to be relatively on topic here... ah well, perhaps you can predict the future

Heh, oh yes I forgot one of my favorite jobs: "corporate freak" (which largely involves bribings, tricking, hauling pieces of green things representing odd concepts, and of course the occasional assasination) ;)

Pure mathematics sounds like somehting I'd like to do though, math just for the hell of it (for the advance of math that is) Fits with my loose set of belief-like-things. ;)

I'm a full time university student, so.......

I basically live off of previously saved money. :)
And sort of off the scholarships I won at highschool.

I don't aquire my money, I loose it. Here's how.

I used to work for Llyods bank as a monkey typist type person (although I was the fastest they had - and they said as much ;)) However following the trouble with the big American corporations problems they decided to make a load of people redundant, including me.

Of course, they chose the worst possible time to do this-  right after I'd almost emptied my bank account to splash out on a GeForce4 4600 and a BB Rifle.

So, I'm not almost broke.. however monkey working jobs are being searched for as we speak. I shall be rich again ;)

Well I have a credit card of course, it's not my money on it but I think that I am runing out of it quite fast. Although I have enough money for a brand new PC, my mom won't let me use it. :mad2:
