Used to work construction, now I do freelance video, shoot photos and write for the student newspaper and magazine, and work as an assistant to a film producer. All fun stuff.

Working in aircraft maintenance. Some days it's really cool, other days it's a complete nightmare. This is a customer's airplane I worked on last Friday; you could file that under 'really cool'.

I'm blown away by some of the wages you guys are listing though. I'll be hard pressed to make much more than some of those numbers by the time I'm fully licensed; and most other jobs pale in comparison when it comes to the responsibility assumed by the worker.

I'm a tour guide and recruitment ambassador for my university. Touring around hyperactive parents & entitled 17-year-olds, making phonecalls to accepted students, running the entering class facebook page. It's chill and pays well and I'm really good at the bullshitty "selling" part of the job.

Occasionally, I manage graphics for live broadcast, and work event ops when needed. Hopefully going to make it out to some Redbull events this summer like Flugtag or Soapbox.

Pools and Maintenance Supervisor at a local waterpark. Also a certified instructor.



So I train lifeguards and get all the slides, pumps and filters ready before we open (These past few weeks) and as soon as we open this weekend I make sure all the pumps and filters are running correctly, clean everything and make sure all the chemical levels are correct throughout the day.

I work at a hospital while I go to school. I move patients in stretchers and wheel chairs all around, from ER to OR, OR to admits and etc and even accept lifeflights on the roof which is pretty cool. Also move the occasional body to the morgue, that one is a bit spooky.
