What do you do for a living??
24. Jan 2007 at 20:36

I am curious to see what ppl on here do for a living.
Seems a lot of ppl are able to spend a lot of coin on collecting...and its not just NES stuff! Grin

Or maybe they just spend a lot and then penny-pinch on some other stuff to compensate!
I know I've bought stuff I couldnt resist and then I had to eat $1.39 cheeseburgers from Mcdonalds for a week till I got paid. Undecided

I work in the Quality Dept. at a place called Butcher Enterprises. We are an automotive coatings company and we paint all kinds of parts for pretty much all the major car companies.

Its not the best...but its not the worst...

What do you do??!!

well im in law enforcement and support a family of 4...Ive spent quite a few dollars on stuff but only when I have the money I dont buy stuff unless I have the money on hand to spend. If you wait you can pick stuff up for a decent price just have to let stuff you would like to have pass...I did pay 500.00 for my stadium events and complete caltron but I had the money on hand at the time to pay for them...I think when you say there are a lot that pay some major coin on collecting I tend to wonder myself where they work.
But if you have free time to spend looking on ebay there is money to be made by buying up lots and selling seperate but it is a lot of time consuming work..

I create videos/DVDs for an electrical utility company. They are technical, training, safety, can be almost anything. And I do it all, camera, sound, produce, direct, edit, graphics, everything. I really enjoy it. Gets me all over Southern California since we cover 50,000 sq. miles of service territory. I recently learned how to use one of those Hi Def camera in a helicopter like the news and police have. Lots of fun!

I work at Ericsson, we manufacture infrastructure for the mobile networks. Stuff that hang in the big antennas taking care of the mobile phone networks in other words.

What i do there? I just sit on my ass looking at a assembly line in a clean room environment.
And no, it's not as boring as it sounds. I have a great time there, have a lot of fun and earn good money for almost no work and on top of that I only work 13 days in four weeks. Working shifts rule. Cheesy
