What do Jazzfanz do professionally (...assuming they have jobs) ?

I believe you, I want to avoid working for the man, unless the man pays well, gives me freedom, and allows me to enjoy my life.

I am paid much more than my private sector equals, work 7-3:30 mon. - Fri., have federal health insurance, vision and dental, private pension, life insurance, free access to Rosetta stone, travel pay, a union protecting me despite not paying dues, my boss is over 50 miles away and I am protected by security cameras, an armed trained guard (ex cop), saftey glass, security alarms and police cars routinely driving thru my parking lot.

I have heard government jobs were the best thing since David Benoit. This post verifies that.

Ya, that doesn't really suck.

As a self employed person, I get paid roughly 10% of what my friends are making right now. I work 12am to 12am, 7 days a week. I have to pay for my own insurance; all of them. I get no travel pay, no security guards, and no Rosetta Stone. I have no boss though, which rules the worldz.

Fixed. There are some that suck balls. Also having a good manager makes it night and day. In my case I am out of site out of mind.

Being responsible for yourself is a good feeling though, its easier to work hard when its for you, rather than work hard for some ******* licker who just takes your work and signs his name to it.

I just want a job that pays the bills and I don't dread every single day. Are those even real?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

My comment was serious. I work for "the man"...the government.

Oh *that* man.

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Well, I'm launching a company in the Bay Area, trying to be 'the man'. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Tech?

I'm a stay at home drunk. My wife is a CFO and I was supposed to manage our money, household affairs, and change diapers. That went well for a few months... I still do the diapers but the other stuff is way to hard with a fuzzy brain, so I put the money into index funds and hired a cleaning lady and a chef that I pay for by recycling large amounts of aluminum budweiser bottles.

I also am genuinely interested in what people do. I am only 25, I have an alright job, but I want something better. So this is of some interest to me.

It all depends on what you do and if you are willing to be a professional or not. Even mechanics can make $100k+ per year in a variety of industries from auto to train to aero to utility.

My experience with consulting work is bimodal. It can be complete bull **** that works a bunch of 25ish year olds 70 hours a weak in exchance for a sack of AIDs riddled monkey scrotums. Or it can pay well into six figures to millions per year for those in the right spot and with the right tools (sales/actor types). There doesn't seem to be much in between. Everyone I've come across in my industry has left the consulting stuff running, with the exception of a small niche of owner-operators who's work I would never want and doesn't pay all that great anyway.

Let us know what you think you might like and I'm sure you'll get great advice.
