what do you nerds do for living? - discuss career possibilities
SNAAKE:
you may be asking why now? because now I am legally allowed to work in the US thats why lol. so what does everyone here do for living? right now I sell things on ebay and going to college but dont really know what I wanna do. possible interest.
graphic design - is this in demand? average wage? work is fun I know that. it gets annoying when its not your own project but I can hold my own and get things done.
computer repair guy - whats the correct term? I can build/fix computers and would consider as a job.
web design/flash and html - this is fun too. not sure about demand or wages.
software tester - this "sounds" very promising but also too good to be true. this school here trying to convince me that I after 3 months(2 days a week and 7 hour class each day) training I can become a professional software tester and make 80k year(hahahaha this dude is out of his mind). does it make any sense at all? I am willing to start with half that as I gain more experience.
game tester/developer - anyone here in the gaming industry? how the jesus do you get this business? I know you probably need associate or bachelors and experience with animation or whatever. is this worth going after??
DaOld Man:
I am an electrician. I have been working as residential and industrial electrician for 32 years now (man I am old).
I have been in an aluminum rolling mill now for 22 years.
I work with PLCs, computers, and some fairly high tech toys.
I also do some "grunt" work, but that's mostly for the younger guys.
I have had about 5 college classes over the years, but went straight to work after high school.
I did have 2 years industrial electricity (trade school) in high school.
It took me a while to get to the pay grade I am at now, but it is over 60K. (with a moderate amount of overtime.)
I knew I wanted to work with electricity since the 4th grade.
I just wish someone had kicked my rearo and made me go to college after high school.
I would have made it to this point a lot faster with an engineers degree.
hypernova:
I work in a manufacturing warehouse. Been there for 10 years (shortly after high school.) We play Wii on breaks. I am taking classes for psychology at Miami University part time.
I think everyone should hold a blue collar job at some point in their life, just to see and understand how the average man works, and to gain an appreciation for a good work ethic. You get that by working in non-union places, with older generations.
saint:
I run a web site. I make tens of dollars a year.
SNAAKE:
