I work for WL Plastics, we manufature polyethyline pipe, and well its not hard but its not what i want to do with my life, i work 8pm to 8am 4 days a week, and i have lots of days off, but your bodys hate you for it, im only 20, but i need to kick it in gear and head off to college, SUU ftw, accounting or business major...

vodka2 · 12-19-2008, 07:35 PM

I still go to school ,
But im pretty sure when i become a payed private doctor i will

BoroDrifter · 12-19-2008, 09:25 PM

FedEx Ground/Home Delivery Driver. Hate it to the core. Get to work at 6am, some times I get home at 2, some times 9. Lots of stress, lots of bull shit, lots of stupid people who think they are in the greatest career field of all time (because for them, they are). Low pay, long hours and lots of expectations...sounds like work

I do video work on the side, mainly automotive, some other stuff.

Sad Panda Productions on Vimeo <--- shameless plug

I'll get paid one of these days.

Hopefully going to school to get my BSN (science and nursing). Good money there.

JDMFLCL · 01-31-2009, 08:03 AM

I'm in school and work as a ski instruct in the winter, and corporate slave in the summer, but im working towards something pretty juicy in the international field with my Intl. Relations+ Intl. Biz double major along with chinese and some other languages

SWAT Team S14 · 03-18-2010, 01:15 PM

Not at all.....that's why I'm going back to scool right now.

inertiadrft · 05-29-2010, 06:25 AM

I Selected YES! Cause I really do enjoy my career, and I really did'nt get to choose this career for my self, it sort'of chose me, thats the way it goes in the field I work in.
When I started working in this field, I hated it, it was not for me and I planned on leaving that place as soon as I could, so I thought.. but the money played a different tune and I danced to the paychecks I was not used to getting, I was like 19 at the time and ohh boy those checks were amaizing at that time, and they still are 10 years later, and plenty of promotions later.
There is only one part of it thats sucks, but it depends on individual perspective, and thats Night hours, never get to see the sun for more than 3 hours a day, and I always miss the car meets and stuff.. For me, I am NOT a morning person, Never have, and probably never will be, so it works out perfectly for me, except of course when everybody is up and about, I'm out for the count, and when everybody is going, I'm already coming.. Trucking/Dock/sales etc etc.. real night life.. Once youre in, there is no coming out.. Lol.

OLDSCHOOLRICER · 06-06-2010, 08:16 AM

I LOVE MY JOB. I'm a local truck driver I do whatever I want I have no boss next to me breathing on looking at my every move as long as I get to my appointments on time everything is good. But I do have to say this you absolutely have to love driving this is not for the weak. truck driving and traffic is a whole different animal compared to driving your car in traffic. you pretty much have to go through 10 or more gears before you get to 55mph

That is pretty much my mentality.

I enjoy getting a salary, along with my benefits, so yes, i like it.

5pecialist · 07-06-2010, 07:53 AM

If I could do it over again, I would have gone into a field I *LOVED*. Pay & security would NOT have factored into my choice. NO job is totally secure, and no paycheck amount is ever guaranteed. Gotta love what you do... then nothing else matters. For now I am in a living HELL.

drift_s13 · 07-06-2010, 08:29 AM

I like being an automotive technician, I hate constantly being screwed over for hours...

bb4_96 · 07-09-2010, 04:12 AM

Engineering FTW. Application matters very little to me so long as I don't have to work underground.

292adam · 10-18-2010, 01:40 AM

im 19 and im an emt in socal. i love my job but i don't really like the company im working for right now. just putting in hours before i go to medic school and then become a firefighter.

xsidewayzx · 10-18-2010, 02:30 AM

I picked the first one. I plan on retiring from the military. Retire at 40 sounds good for me. Plus, my job is "how to defeat the enemy" and really do it. I think its fun. Nice adrenaline rush too.

Smurf_240SX · 10-21-2010, 02:01 AM

cars suck, should've done something else...but didn't

SR20Driftking4lyf · 10-29-2010, 09:41 AM

Love my job. Just graduated and am now am a entry level software developer. Good pay, love the problem solving and working with a small team. Layed back hours, can be stressful meeting deadlines/starring at a computer all day. Over all I cant complain....

North · 11-03-2010, 05:07 AM

I enjoy my job, but like any other career it has its ups and downs. But, I can say that if I hadn't joined [the military] I probably would've never been fortunate enough to travel and see as much of the world as I have and meet the people I've met.

shazaam · 11-04-2010, 07:51 AM

number 3 fer me. In school currently and working part time at the local carwash. Granted I love the carwash though. Lay back and a simple 'get by' job through school so yea.

HPKMotorsports3 · 11-08-2010, 11:55 PM

i dont hate my job, its just getting tiresome... im in the parts dept... right now supplying American Airlines with GSE parts which is parts for the fuel trucks baggage carts/tractors etc...
I really wanna join the marines but im too heavy as of now but working on it... still far from my goal so i can join but slow and steady... then maybe be in law enforcement... maybe city cop or highway patrol wouldnt mind pulling people over in a hemi or be like super trooper lol...

speedracer601 · 11-13-2010, 03:38 AM

Im in the Army ( Infantry )
As of right now i love my job as a M240b gunner deployed in Afghanistan getting my ass shot off and blown up

KoukiDrifter240 · 11-13-2010, 08:19 PM
