Desk monkey for a CPA firm. Add a dash of audit report composition and tech support, and viola. But I moonlight (err, maybe weekend'light?) as a windsurfing instructor.

I give blow jobs for cash.

Sorry, I can't break your $20. Exact change please, mister.

lamebrains said, (237 days ago)

@osteo: So are you in hair, too? Maybe HVAC? How many 20s I need?

fuznotfuz said, (237 days ago)

If I tell you, I have to kill you.

Then again, if I knew, I'd have to kill myself. So don't feel alone in this.

Corporate salaryman.

Mrs. Cakes said, (237 days ago)

I'm in indirect auto lending for the Orange County area. I get the deals after they are bought and see if they meet the criteria for funding.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (237 days ago)

Show of hands of the folks so far: whose job doesn't, you know, suck?

We know for sure that Osteo's does, of course.

Mrs. Cakes said, (237 days ago)

My job isn't great, but it doesn't suck. The only thing that sucks in my office is the management.

Henrietta said, (237 days ago)

We all know what I do!

ashleigh said, (237 days ago)

Corporate slave with great benefits.

pepperoni said, (237 days ago)

i'm the print/online biz manager for a large advertising agency.

mostly i clean up other people's fuckups.

bizzy said, (237 days ago)

Administrative slave during the regular work week. I organize stuff and file other stuff and wipe my boss' buttcrack, basically.

On the weekends, I get paid to go to clubs/bars/concerts and talk to strangers and get parties started and pass out free shit that people don't need/want. This is also known as radio station promoting.

hey_oblomov said, (237 days ago)

I'm a student editor for a small but snooty literary journal.

And a dental assistant on weekends.

fuznotfuz said, (237 days ago)

My job sucks in that it's for a finite length of time. Otherwise, it's fantastic, and don't let me tell you otherwise.

bizzy said, (237 days ago)

k. you don't really need training. but you do need to put up with people's annoying (sometimes drunken) bullshit. i'm sure you're already good at that.

tech support

dimpelotomous said, (237 days ago)

I work for a high end 3d animation software company as an account executive/ marketing person.

Trying to explain this job thoroughly would take time. But I hang out with math nerds who make all the pretty pictures you all like to see in movies.

Sarah von Pantyhose said, (237 days ago)

I've been told to just say I'm an artist, as I am now too old to admit to what I actually do with most of my time.

des! said, (237 days ago)

digital licensing @ warner music group.

um, i do research on contracts and make sure everyone's getting paid what they're supposed to be getting paid and then i plug it into some program. i kinda love my job more than i should.

Ethan said, (237 days ago)

Director of Sales Engineering for a not-quite-'lil systems integrator. I like my job. It just needs to pay me more.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (237 days ago)

Lots o' people with real, grown up jobs here. How's that work out for you folks?

divinemisscopa said, (237 days ago)

Sales application engineer in industrial heat treating equipment (i.e. heavy metal process) in the aftermarket division.

I moonlight as a Polish lounge singer.

pepperoni said, (237 days ago)

it pays for my booze and rhinestones. also i get vision and dental.

Ethan said, (237 days ago)

Having a real grown up job is odd. I'm still not sure I prefer it to being some hourly bonehead. There was definitely less stress, and I got overtime. Granted, I have more leeway to do what I want, now, but the jury's still out. If I leave this job I think I'm just going to be a cook somewhere or something.

makeliketova said, (237 days ago)

I don't FEEL like a grownup. Especially when i roll into work hungover at 11am.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (237 days ago)

And yet, there you are, working in an office, describing yourself as a professional.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (237 days ago)

Also, it seems that a lot of you have jobs that might be described as "important".

While I'm perfectly happy to not be accountable for much, I must confess, I'm kind of jealous.

Jeepster said, (237 days ago)

veterinary ninja

pepperoni said, (237 days ago)

yeah, my job has become more and more "important" and while that's nice in some ways (like requesting a raise) it's annoying to not be able to go on vacation without coming back to catastrophe.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (237 days ago)

@Johnny: Didn't think there was much call for banditos anymore.

@pepper: Even in positions that aren't important, that whole "If you want something done right..." thing tends to be true.

cupcakes, really. said, (237 days ago)

that's why it's such a good choice. there's no other banditos taking all the good bandito jobs. when someone needs a bandito nowadays, they either come to me, or that record company in london.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (237 days ago)

You'll be singing a different tune when all those Mexican banditos start coming over the border.

Then you might have to move to the less lucrative field of skullduggery.

cupcakes, really. said, (237 days ago)

That's why I have a minor in Deportation.
