ok so i am a professional lifeguard and it is my job over the summer to make sure that people swim between the flags, dont drown and look at babes through the binoculars. life guard is a fucken awesome job since i get ride the quad bike and drive the rescue boat. these are ment to be done responsibly but when you have a good cunt senior you can do what ever you like. beach, boats, bikes and bitches i could not think of anything better to do (apart from ski)
so i am wondering who else has good jobs what are the perks and if they can share some good work storys

Haha same I work in the Lawn and Garden department! Been working there for a couple months and its getting so old but I work outside so its nice to not have to listen to the shitty music they play inside. "Code 50 to the garden center register" gets so fucking annoying after a while too lol.

I do mergers and acquisitions for a billing / network optimization provider headquartered in Denver with a ~500mm market capitalization. Get to travel to Europe a lot, lots of heavy spreadsheet math and models. Still, get to work with our CEO and GC regularly, and get to ski 40 days a year.

The one downside is to make the acquisitions profitable, I sometimes have to do the shitty work of figuring out how many people we have to fire for the deal to be accretive. Not always, but sometimes.

Pretty Killer otherwise. School pays kiddies, study hard.

Just finished up my first year at McGill, and now I'm working for the summer at TD Waterhouse in Vancouver. Very well paid, great hours (usually 8 to 3 or 4 at most), work with good people who love to teach me all about markets and investing. I'm pretty happy with it.

On a related note, anyone interested in starting up some kind of careers/networking group here? Seems like there's at least a couple of us out there in finance and other professional career level jobs, and as NS grows older I'm sure we'll see more of us out there in the real world. It'd be sweet to be able to help fellow NSers out and just overall know there's a group of solid people looking out for each other.

Anyone?

during the winter, i'm a freestyle ski coach. I'm paid to be outside and ski…those are the best perks in my mind.

during the summer, i work at after school programs for youth, and assist in running a summer day camp. perks are the good hours, and I'm not stuck inside. cons…the kids can get annoying.

Not true - you can 100% get into these positions without connections. As for the degree part, although this kind of job is likely a secondary position (as in previous PROFESSIONAL work experience) you can get to it without a fin/bus/econ/acct degree. For example, the kind of work he seems to be doing is closely related to Management Consulting work, in terms of the modelling and valuation. Consulting is a field you can enter from almost any degree, and in fact it's encouraged that you have diverse industry experience from an unrelated field.

Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers, Poli Sci's, they're all considered as candidates for MBB's (Mckinsey, Bain, BCG, ie the big 3 MC companies) as long as you have solid problem solving and number crunching skills.

He could have an MBA but I don't think it's essential.

I used to do that except I didn't load clubs onto the carts.  The couse I worked at had gas powered carts, which you could stick in neutral and get going about 30 mph downs hills, it was so fuckin intense.

I have two jobs

I'm a facility attendant for a community center near my house, which means I show up to work, set up a few volleyball nets with 2 other workers who btw are hella chill, then I sit around for 2 hours with my co workers and make sure nobody kill themselves playing volleyball.  Then I take down the nets and go home.  For a 3 hour shift I MAYBE do 40 minutes of real work.  It's awesome.

I'm also a semi professional musician, but that doesn't pay much it's just for fun really.
