Freelancer of various artistic things such as illustration and design. I would do some stuff for animation too if I had the right equipment. I previously worked in-house for a inflatables and display company designing and occasionally painting large parade grade helium balloons , cold air display balloons, interactives and costumes. Over all it was a cool job except for the pay and the working conditions. Some of the cool projects I had was for the Willy Wonca company, Giant Tiger and the Children's Television work shop corporation. You know the that company that brought you Sesame Street?

I deliver pizza now. I've worked mostly in restaurants, sometimes in management positions, and I was also in the Army for six months before I was medically discharged.

Are you going to specialize, maybe be a nurse practitioner? ICU? NICU? |

So long as they understand that pounding away on the table doesn't always get one's point across effectively. |

Sorry to see so many of us have been retrenched / downsized / layed off and are doing it tough.
Been there and done that, not much fun job hunting, making do on a very restricted dole payment expecially when you have kids and mortgage and loan repayments to support, and not everyone who gets retrenched/layed off / downsized gets a nice big severance payment / golden parachute or steps straight into a new job.

I'm an Administrative Assistant for a local grade-level after school chess program. I took over from my brother, who went to work security at a car factory that's closing down.
My job isn't bad. I just started last August, making $9/hr. I normally only work 8 hours a week, spread across 2 days. Though, when there are tournaments, I might work double that.
Unfortunately, my work schedule is dependent on the school schedule. When there's no school, I don't work. Which means I live June through October (when the Program starts up again) on May's paycheck.
I'm also a blooming science fiction author.

Wouldn't bother getting out of bed for $9 per hour. How do you survive on such a low wage ? |

It's my first job. Before it, I was having a tough enough time looking for work. $9/hr. is certainly better than nothing. Luckily, I still live with my parents, so I don't have to worry about food, housing, transportation, and other such things. |
