I got my BS in computer science and have been doing software development for the past 10 years. I hate it. I should have gone the musician route while I still had the chance.

I'm sorry if I offended you. It wasn't my intention. I just thought some people would try to give non-serious answers and I just didn't know if you were or not.

I am serious.

No offense taken.

Since the minimum wage increase things have been looking up for me.

Currently a 'just' unemployed Graphic Designer. Was working for a large company as a contractor with the hope of being offered a permanent position, but a few months in, it was pretty apparent there was nowhere to go as, realistically, there was no room for expansion. 2 years was up Friday before last. I'm no doubt the first of many who will be cut down prior to permanent staff losses. Shame.

Pointless fucking career with no future, at least here. Might have to change things up (down?) in exchange for steady employment/income. Intermittent redundancy is boring and embarrassing now.

Signing on tomorrow. Serves me right. Fucking Mac user...

I always wonder what non technical people do for a living. I think those jobs are the more interesting ones.

I work a trade that falls under carpentry as far as licensing purposes are concerned. Yet I am required to have a license for small voltage for the majority of my job.

And I yelled at the store manager for having those on the fruits.

Then I noticed them gone and yelled at the manager for not having them on the fruits.

I swear...you guys drive me to drink! (which when it's all said and done may not be such a bad thing).

Right now I'm the manager at an independent video game store. Not much of a career, but it's good for the time being. I really need to go back to school soon to explore new things, and hopefully find something more fulfilling.
