What do you do for a living?

I've seen this on other forums and I was curious as to what you do for a living. I work in IT Sales.

Assistant Warehouse Manager for a large grocery wholesaler. We ship mostly to convenience stores, and a whole lot of them.

I am the air traffic controller of people, freight and forklifts. I make sure it gets received, putaway and replenished for the picking crew.

Not so fast, sonny. I can't get over how the car I finally bought as my (early) retirement present (26 years marketing, product planning, and research in the auto companies) to myself is also owned by all you kids! Yeah, I know, you all saved up your allowances and after school job money. My college car was my dad's used 69 Impala...you guys sure have come a long way!

Here's one more leftover from doing it "old school"....it's "we" (subject) and not "us"! (object)

I'm a college student graduating in may. My jobs have been really broad over the last 3 years, and for a kid, well paying. I used to be a stock broker at an investment firm (did the same thing as the movie boiler room if you've ever seen it). I also schedule umpires and run the concession stand at a local baseball complex for some extra side cash during the season.

I now primarily work as a personal assistant to a M.D. I just help him with billing, and do normal daily tasks he has no time for (dry cleaning, random easy tasks). The perks are great, get to use his cars, have the keys to all his houses, awesome resume and meet very wealthy people, plus the job is interesting and I can work when I want and write off everything.

It's going to stink come may 2012 when I have to get a "real" job. In negotiations for a 4 year rotational analyst/investment banking/confirmations/liquidity management gig at Citi in NYC...

College Students owning the latest Mercedes .... simply Unbelievable.


I waited 60 years for my first MB !!


First car cost $80 .


I learnt how to maintain it & drop the engine out, strip it & reasemble by the age 18.

I wish every college student could afford a W204.
