Go to school, pretend to do homework, play PS2, post here, surf the web, go back to school, repeat.

I am a projection booth manager at a 16 screen theater. For my second job/hobby I write videogame and dvd reviews for this site and another. Maybe some day I can make a living doing just that. We\'ll see...

I was a HACCP enginer speciallizing in poultry production and distribution before being "temporarilly" relocated to a new profession. So in other words, I cooked ducks and packaged econoline chicken products at a low level meat processing plant before getting fired and having to take a new job. For a while there though, I alone was cooking and preparing 1/8th of the nations total duck production every night. If you ate a duck product, there\'s a 1 in 8 chance I cooked it. If it was a Maple Leaf Farms ducks, there was a 1 in 3 chance I cooked it.

Right now I\'m working under the table with a friend installing satellite dishes for Dish Network and working weekends at a videogame trader shop. If you don\'t know what a VGTS is, then just think of it as a Pawn Shop speciallizing in PC and Console games/units. Anyone wanna buy a Sega Master System for 20 bucks?

Student, senior. After that, I\'m not sure. I got a few options. Most common one is maybe get Apple Tech certified. Or maybe MS certified. Not sure yet. Either way, some sort of tech\'. Not exciting, but it will pay the bills and provide a comfortable lifestyle. Oh and I detest actual manual labor, so I will be able to avoid that also.

:crap: Thanks a lot guys... now you got that song stuck in my head again... for that I shall write out the lyrics so it gets stuck in all of your heads!

Young man, there\'s no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, \'cause your in a new town
There\'s no need to be unhappy


Young man, there\'s a place you can go
I said, young man, when you\'re short on your dough
You can stay there, and I\'m sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.


It\'s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It\'s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything For young men to enjoy.
You can hang out with all the boys.


It\'s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It\'s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel.


Young man, Are you listeneing to me
I said, young man, what do you want to be
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams,
but you\'ve got to know this one thing.


No man, does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I\'m sure they can help you today


It\'s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

Young Man, I was once in your shoes,
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt, no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive


That\'s when someone came up to me
and said young man take a walk up the street
There\'s a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way.

Software Developer in Arkansas (Yes there are a few here).

Living-In-Clip, if you want to get your MCSE then you better start studying now.  That is a very tough test and about $100+ each time you take it.

There\'s definitely good money being a MCSE but I hear you get even more if you\'re CISCO.

Crippler if you do get a job for a game company let me know and I\'ll be there too.  But right now my job is good and my company is great.  Hell if I can come post here all day, wouldn\'t you like your job too?

I\'m a student. Students don\'t get payed. Students are angry.

Sometime I\'m going to be the richest man in the world and show all those teachers whom tortured me with long and painfully boring classes that students actually CAN achieve money and power over the teachers!

If I just could sell the world...

I am currently working on a video game that pretty much takes up all my time.  I will sell it when I\'m done for like $5 a copy.  I am already looking into publishers so I can get my game on the market.  So far, the game is turning out very good.  everyone who has played it says it\'s a really fun game.  That should give me enough money to keep me living for a while.  I am hoping that I can get enough money to pay for college and other expensive things.

I graduated in 2000.  Right now I am a full time student at a Junior College and part time manager at HEB.(A large chain of Grocery Stores in Texas)  

I am 8 weeks away from getting my Liscense in Real Estate sales.  I will sell houses this summer and then continue to go to school part time to become a broker and eventually I would also like to go into mortgage banking.

It\'s called Manobie.  It is an action game.  It doesn\'t really have a length (it\'s purely multi player).  There is no story line. (What do you expect for $5 :D)  It\'s for PC.  And yes, I will sell it when I am finished.  I will release a demo in a few months so you can get a taste of what the gameplay is like.  That is a lot easier than trying to explain what the game is like :).  I would love to tell you more, but I want to keep it a secret until I\'m closer to being finished.

Well, I\'m off to program some more.

Im a video games specialist.
Which basically means I work in the software section of Circuit City(youd be surprised how big the game section is, it rivals an EB).
I am soon being transferred to Digital Imaging/Cellphones, which means Ill be making commision for selling digital cameras and Cell Phones to people.
Its a fun job, but hey, someones got to do it.
I hope to one day be a History teacher, corrupting tomorrows youths with my Atheist, Communist views, and dead bluntness on american history.

Did you know that Christopher Columbas is responsible for millions of deaths of Native Americans, yet we have a holiday dedicated to him
How PC of us americans.
And all most of you people think about it is a day you get off from school that day.
Thats like in 200 years in germany a Holiday for Hitler.

Thats just one of the many problems I see in American History classes today.
They teach you what they WISH has been american history instead of the cold truth.
And in my mind, the cold truth can only make a person stronger.
I CANT WAIT!
