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

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Tech?

Consumer Internet (tech-enabled). Barriers are primarily non-technical.

 

[t.work]

I make some money working on my own by advertising products/services (affiliate marketing) on various websites but my "real job" (or not, depends how you look at it) is working at... ahem, Taco Bell. Yeah, it sucks.

[honz]

I deliver sandwiches and play up the whole nice guy act in order to get good tips. I then spend other peoples hard earned cash mostly on alcohol, heroine, prostitutes, Jazz tickets, and Jazz gear.

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.

Ha! You're the gatekeeper at Hill Field.

I used to be a tester for EA.

Now I collect unemployment and play video games all day. So really, nothing has changed.

Aircraft Mechanic for the federal gov't. Working for "the man" is all that is cracked up to be.

That is cool man. I like my employment with "the man".

I work as an engineer with Fairchild. Technically a "doping process engineer". I like my job, but I'm not in love with it. It pays well, and It's pretty flexible. But it's also surprisingly boring.

I am senior at ASU, hoping for medical school took my MCAT and did pretty well alhamdulillah.

Hopefully a doctor after med school and residency god willing.

Nice. A doctor that doesn't know the difference between YOU'RE and YOUR. I hope, at least, you go into geriatrics.

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.

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.

Probably my favorite post and favorite sentence of this entire World Wide Web.

The use of the word "die" is apt.
