[Admiral Ackbar]

I'm a recent engineering graduate but I can't find professional work. No one is hiring, and I've been looking for a year along the Northeast Corridor.

I am working currently as a temp engineer for a local power utility. It's not profesional pay, but I've been there two years now and at least I make a living wage. For the past six months my supervisor has been trying to get me hired startiing at a six figure salary, but I haven't heard word yet because it takes months for the company to even go from a submitted application to getting an interview.

But I know buddies who have graduated a year before me, and still haven't found work. That's two years without getting a good job. I ran into one buddy working at the gateway store just before it shut down. He was getting laid off.

But no one is hiring around here. And when a job opens up, there are twenty overqualified applicants. Competition is fierce.

But I am working on a P2P program idea. Even had a couple economists from Michigan State become interested in it. Hopefully if I can actually code this stuff I'll be saying, "I'm rich bitch!"

[guyver2077]

working at an answering service. not the greatest pay but wat the hell, it made all my games possible and theres a couple fine ladies to look at

[TheRaven]

I work as a liason between a midwestern ISP and all the hundreds of telephone companies they provide service for. I get to be involved in all the problems but rarely get to iron out the solutions. It sucks, but its a decent paying job.

[msdmoney]

I am a structural/architectural engineer for an engineering consulting firm that does the engineering for a lot of hospitals and other big construction. I just started two weeks ago after sitting at home on my ass (but working part time) for almost a year since I graduated in June of 2003. Sitting on my ass was my choice though, I needed a vacation before I started a real job.

I am making good money now but working a lot of hours, so that just means more games buy less time to get deals. Hopefully I can keep my cheapass ways. Of course I am living in LA now so everything is also more expensive.

[dopa345]

I'm an MD training in a Boston area hospital with a six figure debt (hence the cheapass status) :(

[organicow]

I write for small music and political magazines (like http://www.performermag.com for example), do the layout and graphics for the GSU newspaper, and go to school there. I'm a senior getting a Poli Sci degree; I'm currently kissing multiple asses to secure entry to a good grad school. I'm also a musician/songwriter, but it don't pay for shit.

[The Successful Dropout]

i deliver newspapers to convenience stores and gas stations.....not the best job in the world...but the pay is great...by the way...it would be interesting to know the age of everyone with their job status....i know there was already an age post....but this is a 2 for 1

If you want money, don't look at GameStop. It's nice for the discount, but that's about it.

[JohnnyDrama]

I work at Target right now, but I'm looking to switch to an IT position in a company soon.
im at target too it sucks

I know what you mean, but for me though it's OK right now. I've been working there for a month now in the overnight shift stocking shelves and other things like that, so I don't deal with any customers. Overall, it's good so far.

[jlarlee]

8 year Air Force veteran but now that I have the income to buy games I don't have the time to play them like i used to

[x0thedeadzone0x]

You have to be 16 to work at Gamestop, right? Anyone know what the initial pay is that they offer?
And also if I have a GameInformer card (10% discount) when I sign up do I get the additional 20/30% off?
Thanks. Gamestop's only 5 minutes away from my house so I want to work there. And if its around 7$ an hour that's fine.
This won't be for about another year though.. X_x
