What do YOU do?

[Krazed]

So I was reading the recent threads and found it pretty interesting some of the jobs the members of this forum occupy. There was always some intense talent from the members of this community, so with that I'd like to hear what everyone does now-a-days!

Last January I started as a senior developer at Terralever, an interactive marketing agency.  We work primarily on Microsoft-based technologies, although some of our projects run in PHP.

As a developer at Terralever, I've had a pretty good variety of projects come through the pipe: I worked on Red Bull's event sites, as a consultant for a company becoming PCI compliant, Facebook apps, a mobile device, and a WPF kiosk that drives an industrial laser and robotics.

A few months ago I was promoted to development manager, and have been working on growing my personal empire (as well as improving the quality of work coming out of my team).  I probably do about 60% development and 40% management now.

I work in telemarketing 67 hours a week (past 2 months I've been doing these hours to get things paid off soon). It's 2 different jobs. One of them is for ThermoSpas hot tub company (commission based on my part plus hourly pay). Although I hate telemarketing, I've been doing it for 2 years now.

[Grok]

On my own, cleaning computers of viruses/adware/malware, etc.  Also hardware upgrades, full OS reinstalls, tightened up before giving it back to customer so they don't get it in trouble as fast.  Currently work exclusively with Windows systems.

[Barabajagal]

Same as Grok, except I also build custom computers, set up servers (HTTP, FTP, and Voice [mostly for Medical Transcription]), plus freelance software development, of course.

I realize that says "aftercollege.com", but it doesn't require a degree and is an internship/co-op.. Meaning I can do this while going through College, yes?

I hate you, o_o.



Kidding of course, . That's got to be a hard job, having people tell you to leave them alone all the time, =|.

See, I was looking at doing both of these as a side-job type thing.. You guys do this as a living? I assume you've got to be making some good money, yes?

Hell ya it's a hard job. Right now I'm taking in quite a lot of money per month so it's worth it, but I plan to hopefully become fully self-employed early 2009 and develop apps for Apple's AppStore.

Yeah, in all seriousness, that has to be tough, =|. But very nice Yegg.

I have almost no money, but I spend almost no money. People do pay a lot for standard PC repair, though. You can get away with charging $50-$100 just to make a house call, even if you don't fix the problem.

Haha, very true... I usually end up having to fix neighbors computers and feel bad about charging them, =|.
