What's everyone here do then?

djnee · 2009-08-06T02:43:37+00:00

With me being a nosey old git, i just wondered what jobs people on here do? I am a house husband..at home with the kids doing the domestics! I've done this full time for the last 6.5 years although recently i started a part time casual job in the local newsagency, which helps keep my sanity! How about you guys?

I sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day 5 days a week for the uni, then several hours each weekend as a student. In my down time I sit in front of the computer looking at VW forums.

I actually work as a research assistant type person at UniSA (Student Equity in Higher Ed); PhD student on the side 😵‍💫

damn most of you people have far more interesting jobs than i do.

i currently work in sales. it is the cruisest full time job i have ever had but far from the most satisfying. in fact it is the second least satisfying job i have ever had (the other one was sales as well and i lasted a week).

the most satisfying was making architectural models.

i really should have finished one of my degrees then i would have had a chance at a cool job (if i could have gotten one in the fields, industrial design / archaeology).

Am currently a car detailing manager/supervisor/trainer for a big car wash in Brisbane run by Ian Healy(ex Aussie wicketkeeper) and Chris Johns(ex Strom, Bronco & St george player). I book most of the customers in so that means dealing with a lot of people(like anywhere between 150 -300 cars a day). I get to drive them all too!!(Lambo's, Ferrarri's, Maserati's and a truckload of Porsche's) Also do a bit of 4wd tour guide work for my cousin on Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef etc etc.

used to be in building maintenance (ok but crap pay), then was a muso/music teacher in a special school/church music director (good but long hours), now I work for an anglican church at Seven Hills looking after kids and youth groups, a night time congregation and helping people think about who Jesus really is. Just in the throws of building a house in a new suburb called Ropes Crossing and working on starting a new church there... really looking forward to it. I have to say, there's not much downtime in what I do though. Working on my car involves planning the time 2 weeks ahead or something.
