What do you do for a living?

[Angelspit]

I'm wondering, for example, what job would allow AS to maintain a website like CH in his free time? (I guess you do it in your free time, do you, AS?)

Yes, *cough cough*, of course *cough*. Sorry, bad cold.

I manage the French localization of enterprise management software. And I recently turned 34.

[DemonHunter]

17, I've done industrial sciences and I'm going to study computer sciences
I work in a supermarket during this summer

Hmm, I really don't know what to make of this coughing ... Are you being serious?

[Pol]

Well, I'm 25 and working in Technical Support department, ïn callcentre. Which generates some little free time and, ..hmm, that seems to be all.

[Banedon]

22, studying Engineering Physics (which means mathematics, physics and a very tiny dose of engineering). I don't have a job, but live on money from the state.

You mean you have a full scholarship? Wow, that must make you a terrific student

[Paulus1]

It could also mean, that he's just keeping his spendings really, really low.
At least in Denmark - and most likely as well in Sweden - the state grants each student an amount every month for studying, if you are 18+ years.

[asandir]

you have DICS

generally only in the singular , but written as BSc .... Bachelor of Science (Comp Sci)

[Derek]

Currently I am studying English at the university(or something like that...who can say for sure really.) And I suppose it's worth noting that I'm 19.

It is interesting to note that we seem to have no 'younguns' around here at the RT; perhaps they're turned off by TBS?(this is a call for old codgers to start ranting. )

[asandir]

that may be true derek, most of the young 'uns i know are into FPS for the main part

TBS is for the purists

[DaemianLucifer]

So you have BS?Its even better than having DICS

I started pretty early(some 10 years ago).And so have a few of my friends and cousins.

i speak a lot of BS, but I have a BSc

so did i - when Civ came out .... which makes for about 15 years or so ago

[DaemianLucifer]

I still started younger then you

[Gaidal Cain]

You mean you have a full scholarship? Wow, that must make you a terrific student

Well, I do have pretty good grades, but it's more like what Paulus suggested. I get about 1000 dollars a month, which I have to pay for everything with. At least I'm in engineering. Oh, and school's free, so I don't have to pay to attend.

[Pitsu]

Well, not yet. Although I am defending my Ph.D. dissertation in four days.

As you can imagine, I'm on about no sleep right now.

The requirements and proceeding of PhD disputation are very different, but usually once you are allowed to present your work and actually dispute, it is already a ceremony not a serious testing. As they say: "disputation is 2 hours of shame and a degree for entire life". Dunno if it is exactly 2 hours shame in Pennsylvania...

---------

Myself do research (molecular biology) for living.

[Orfinn]

Im 20, 21 in december. And just now I got into school again, couldnt belive myself when I said to myself, "this aint going anywhere straight up and suck it up boy, get some education and find a freaking job!" Have worked with day pay not getting paid per hour sucks! So tomorrow is the big day, cant exactly know what the class Im gonna go in are called on english, but in my wicked translation its *cough* Further Going Course part 2, 30 hours course a week. its gonna be a haaaaard year

have to learn abit more english...*sigh*

[theGryphon]

Well I'm 28 and I'm a PhD student and research assistant in Management Science/ Operations Management. Technically I'm a state employee, plus I'm receiving a fellowship. Still it makes a living close to survival limits

[Justice]

17 and in what we call "studentarskúlin" think it is gymnasium, the thing before uni.

[Vlaad II]

Twenty-nine and teaching English.

[berntie]

Oh, and school's free, so I don't have to pay to attend.

That makes me envious. Here in Austria we have to pay a tuition fee of nearly 400 bucks per semester. I could accept that, if it would improve our universities' conditions But, na, things always get worse.

have to learn abit more english...*sigh*

At least, you have a place for practicing. Especially with people like Vlaad around:

Twenty-nine and teaching English.

[Banedon]

Hey, you can expect a tuition fee of $30,000+ per year for a good American university...
