| 43583 | 2002-04-13 09:12:00 | Hi I know this is a bit off topic, but it might have it's use, I work in the home electronics repair industry, it is not the job that cheese my off, it is all the 'back sabring crawlers' and the industry is crawling with them, that also would not tell you anything then afterwards say 'I could of told you that' that get on my tit , apart from that, If I meet a genie my first wish would be 'I never wont to know what a screwdriver is anymore' as soon as you unscrew something today you have problems sooner or later. So let as know your occupation, and what you think of your job, who knows it might help school students before they leave school. I was interested to here from the IT industry. |

| 43586 | 2002-04-13 11:18:00 | I love my job, but it has nothing to do with PC's, so you probably don't wanna know. I don't get paid the big bucks though!!! |

| 43587 | 2002-04-13 11:35:00 | I've got the greatest job in the world. Every day I get to play around in flash, Photoshop & Dreamweaver with a splash of Java, C++ & HTML thrown in for good measure. In summer I sit by the fans, in winter I sit by the heaters, but wait, it gets better, my wife works in the real world and brings in the real bucks. Life is grand ain't it? And thank goodness for aliases, 'cause if she read this I'm a dead man!!! |

| 43588 | 2002-04-13 11:42:00 | well i don't love my job but i don't hate it either. i'm selfemployed and deal with the home electronics repair industry a fair bit. unfortunatly the industry has changed alot over the years and there is a lack of skilled techs. pity govt screwed up the apprentiships setup :( as far as the IT industry i think the glamor big $$$ days are well over. there is good dollars for those who have the right skills at the right time. |

| 43589 | 2002-04-13 12:01:00 | I disagree I think there are big $$$ for people with less skills than those regulars on this site (like u(grease)). Its more of who you know, and if you got in the industry early enough when no one had skills. I think I have a great grounding for the industry but have no formal quals so can't get my foot in. I have enough time off from my full time job to hold down another, but then again winter is coming and so comes the snow. PS: its quite funny asking the IT specialists questions before posting them on PRESSF1 but I still have to post. |

| 43590 | 2002-04-13 15:26:00 | I work as an industrial chemist and love my job, especially the 4 on-4 off part, heaps of time to spend with the family. I would not advise anyone to go into the science field, not because the money is bad(its not), but because there is not that many jobs out there. I'm in Northland but from what i've heard rest of country isnt any better. cheers |

| 43591 | 2002-04-13 20:52:00 | I'm a Truck Driver and I LOVE it. The pay is average and the hours long and it is actually a very demanding job both physically and mentally....I'm on ACC again at the moment. I actually made a lot more money installing home theatre etc than what I do now but every time I get another job after having had enough of driving and the rules and regulations I always find myself eventually wandering back to trucks. Don't ask me why as I couldn't tell you and I think not many other drivers could either. | Guest (0) | ||
| 43592 | 2002-04-15 08:28:00 | I trained as a journalist and photographer and I love both jobs but the money isn't that great - not in newspapers anyway. I can make good money doing freelance work (especially editing and proof-reading) which is what I eventually want to do, but at the moment I have to take another job to make ends meet - and that I don't enjoy! (It involves customers and phones... but in a small town there is not a lot of choice.) I love being a journalist because not only do you learn a lot about things you may know very little about when you start, you have a genuine excuse for being nosy - perfect job for a woman, I hear you say! Too right! I don't care what someone does for a living as long as they enjoy it - because it takes up a whole lot of your time and you need to have a reason for getting up in the morning. Having a great job and a good boss is just about as important as having a great partner - at least I have the second part right now! | Guest (0) | ||
