Petroleum Land Administrator, training to be a Petroleum Land Agent (Landman). I wouldn't mind writing the LSAT and going for law if I get bored in oil and gas... hard to be bored when they're driving truckloads of money up to your house though!

You saw those bodies? Ummm... hey I'm gonna come visit you in a bit.

I work as a Audio Visual Tech for a company here in the city, running the rentals for a hotel in the NE. I went to school for Audio Engineering, and would rather be doing that full time. I am as I type this waiting to find out if I got a job with a local production company to be they're audio guy. So if I don't get this one anyone know of any production companies or studios looking?

Office grunt downtown for an architectural firm by day.... elite Russian Spetznatz soldier by night (I'm not kidding).

I'm only waiting until October when I move down to Auckland. Then, I'll probably do more menial grunt work there for nine months, then come back and ACTUALLY USE my degree I just received... oil and gas slave, it looks like. Although I really should start learning some programming apps, or something technical before I enter the working world.

I work for the City of Edmonton. Summertime means labour work such as asphalt or concrete work, and the wintertime means driving a sanding truck.

I hate my job with a passion.

I work as a lab technician/research assistant at a federal research station. I collect air, soil, plant, and root samples; and then I do some chemical extractions, data analyisis and presentation - but that is in the winter. Right now is field season, so it is almost all sampling and setting up experiments outside.

I would like to get involved with evironmental consulting, or wildlife/habitat work though - so if anyone is hiring....

IT Support/Systems Administration Intern. Pretty good job, cause I'm pretty much THE IT guy for the company (which is small), so real work and real responsibility. Not the slacking off intern type. A year of this, then one year left on my Computer Science degree.

During the summer I like to get into landscaping. I like spending as much time as I can out in the sun. The rest of the year I work in the construction industry. I'm skilled in several different trades, so I find myself often doing several different things.

I've done a bit of shingling, but I'm not nearly skilled enough nor do I have enough experience to actually have a job doing it. (Helped with my brother's house once, and helped my dad out with it once)

I focus on drywalling. Boarding, taping, sanding etc... It's not much fun but pays good. I'd like to learn others though.

I just got a job today working in a lingerie shop. Should be interesting as I am fairly modest, though hopefully I won't be there long.
