    Currently, I'm a victim of the recession and have been out of work since middle of February.
    While I'm searching for a new job I'm finishing of my final year of university to get my BEng (Hons)

    What I do (when working ) is a Mechanical Services Design Engineer.

    I'm not paying your raised prices now.
    50 Cents is far to much!

    I'm lazy/slacker/have social anxiety disorder, so I work at a mall kiosk two days a week. I sell fake/look-a-like/knock off sunglasses and feel stupid arguing with fools who try to steal the cheap things. Luckily I have a wife thats awsome and has a great job.

    I work for Clear Channel Radio doing promotions for the alt rock station and I'm an overnight and weekend on-air "talent". Fun job, lots of free stuff and get to meet famous people but they pay is absolutely horrible...

    I work for Mediacom in the HR dept.
    I use a couple of web based programs to forward calls to this company in the phillipines that assists Mediacom by taking some of their calls.
    I monitor their call flow to see if they need any additional volume sent to them, and I keep track of data each half hour on a spreadsheet.
    It's incredibly boring, requiring 5 minutes of work every half hour. I also help the other HR folks out with scheduling for the employees on the call center floor there too(as well as other side projects), but it only takes up a couple of hours each day.
    the rest of the time I surf the net, listen to internet radio, and work on papercraft to kill time.
    not too shabby for ten bucks an hour, the hours suck though.(2:45 to 11:30 M-F...only get to spend two days a week with my girlfriend, whom I live with.)

    Accounts Executive for a Promotional Products supplier company. Pay is going from respectable to lousy due to the sagging economy but I like my coworkers and it's tough to find new job so I am staying put for now.
