I’m a tech/cust care agent for a PDA internet service. I am the department scapegoat. I’m the best person they have here but have no opertunity for advancement. Most the people here hate me because I don’t go out and party with them. I’m paid pretty Ok for doing so little in Florida. The benefits are OK too. I pay too much for my health care though. I’m looking towards a blackmale induced promotion in January, which will hopefully be better. We’ll see. I give myself till Febuary before finding another job…
Independent contractor for the largest medical transcription company in the United States. The pay sucks and I get no benefits, but I work from home, set my own hours, and I generally like the job. I could get a better paying job in a hospital, but I would end up handing over most of my salary to a day care center, so this job works for me right now.
Hmm…, can you flesh out that story a bit?
I’m the watch commander of a medium security prison. I’m generally overpaid and underworked but I get the blame when anything goes wrong. I’ve been doing this for eightteen years now and I would have gotten out by now if I didn’t like it.
When I’m not a student…
Regular job: retail clothing. I got into it because I needed new clothes for school. Pay is decent, discount makes up for it. I’m quitting after December, though.
Job I love: freelance reporting/columnist. I worked for two different papers at home. I’m going to try to get a full time, reasonably paid job at one. Not holding my breath, though. If I were a dreamer, I’d work harder to get my column syndicated, but damn it, the head of the syndicate said it was “too local”. Hmph.
Volunteer stuff: I manage a bunch of lists for gay teenagers. I also volunteer at the local equity theater. In theory, it’s a paying job. They gave me $50 for my first play, and that’s really fine by me. 
I’m a landscape design estimator which means that when my company gets in designs that people want us to install for big commercial jobs, I’m the first step in deciding how much it’ll cost them and if we want the job or not.
Underworked at the moment, but it’s the dead of winter. Come March and April, I’ll be amazingly overworked. As is, I’m done with everything on my plate and am taking the chance to learn some new stuff to make myself more valuable.
Pay is… okay, at the moment. I’m making more than they’d generally pay my position, but it was a move from within the company so I know more than someone they’d hire off the street. We’ll see how my raise goes in April (which has a lot to do with the making myself more valuable portion).
