    i'm a full time computing science student, was previously doing computing and maths but i dropped the maths at the end of second year. i was passing it but getting much better marks in computing. needless to say i now have a shitload of respect for maths graduates, its an ace subject but really fucking difficult

    work park time as a supervisor in a convenience store too, usual shift is just taking over from the manager at 5pm, reducing the out of date stuff and bossing staff about, argueing with neds (translated: chavs) then locking the door at 10. not a great job but the pay is better than bar work or any other more interesting job

    during the summer holidays from uni i work at a place as an IT assistant, wandering about an office building fixing peoples computers (and still at the shop too doing 60 hour weeks before anybody calls me a lazy student)

    and for the few months before school exams i'm a maths tutor too, going to kids houses and filling in the gaps their shitey teacher has left so they can actually pass the exam. currently only doing higher, which is like scotland's version of a-levels or irish leavers cert, pitched slightly easier than an A-level because we do have the advanced higher as well but you only need highers for uni

    quite a busy lad really

    would be ace to see if any members have a cool job. any spys or fire men or anything? best set your email addy to hidden before you admit to being a traffic warden or a tax collector though

    I try and do as little as possible myself. I'm all for the hassle & stress free living.

    I have started labouring for a builder. I get paid to learn, and to do the stuff that no one else wants to. Hard work but I am enjoying it. Hopefully I will get my ass round to doing a few courses and get some certificates or something.

    Dabbled in a bit of everything, from being a laborer to working as repair man in a local independent PC shop, then had a long spell of being un employed.

    Currently working for a family run property company which suits me as its flexible
    and a lot of work is home based, however it does have its stressful moments especially given that your employer
    knows you so well and knows how capable you are etc, you cannot play dumb.

    I'm a Transport Planning Officer for Falkirk Council. Best job I've ever had.....ever. I've been doing that for a year before this I was a Prison Officer for twelve years, that was a fucking laugh and some excellent craoch with my mates. I hated the fucking Governors though they were all pricks. I had to get out cos I was seriously considering bouncing a baseball bat of one of their heads! Funnily enough 99.9% of the cons were sound and i shared a lot in common with them
    I understand and accept that some people hold opinions that are different to my own. Living in a free and democratic society, I fully embrace and respect their right to be wrong.
