I go to school pursuing a dub major in accounting and finance (yes I know they are basically the same degree, but an extra semester that nets me a second major is a no-brainer)
I work at a clothing boutique
I occasionally DJ bar nights for pocket change and house parties for fun
I do motorcycle maintenance for friends on late-model bikes. I'm also getting into fabrication.
I also home-brew a lot and am thinking of upping to a single barrel system and starting a microbrewery.
I race cyclocross, if I podium my team pays for my next registration so I guess it counts as a job.
all of the above are jobs to some degree, as they are either generating income or are on their way to generating income.

Undecided at school, but I work all year round.  During the summer months I repair roads, runways, driveways, and pretty much anything with some cracks in it.... hard, dirty, physical labor but I kind of enjoy it.  And during the winter months my job is skiing.   I am the park supervisor at a resort in Wisconsin... doesn't get much better than designing, maintaining, and sometimes building features and then skiing them all day long.

I'm doing a grad program at the Wayne State University med school right now.  After I get my master's degree I'll be going to the med school to get my M.D.

So...hopefully within ten years I'll finally be making some real money haha.

oh and apart from working at fenway, i'm currently going to school to most likely become a middle/high school history teacher.

so if things work out for the better, i could potentially teach sept-june, and work at fenway all summer. It's funny how many of the employees there are teachers in the off season.

and fun fact of the day-peanut thrower at fenway is such a coveted job that no one gives it up, and its impossible to get. There are guys who lock the doors to their own law firms, and go straight to fenway to sell peanuts.
