I do Private Security, dig wholes, play intruments, and in my spare time for my own entertaient, I make up my social experiments on strangers, friends, and family. Nothing that will hurt people, but in school I enjoyed psychology. I only took basic courses, but it always interested me. Not so much what we know or "think" we know, but what we do not know or "think" we do not know.
Its a small amount of what I do.

My friend is doing a course to do just that, but he wants to go out to Brazil to teach kids English. Awesome job, man.
I do post production for music videos. Mainly unheard of artists who are amazingly talented and up-and-coming in the industry. It's not loads of money, but it pays the rent/bills and I LOVE doing it. I also just started my own graphic design firm (logo's, title sequences, idents). I am also a freelance illustrator.
I got sick of having to work for people who treated me like crap, so now I'm my own bossIt's a lot of work, as the company is still in it's early days... but it is definitely picking up. I feel extremely fortunate to do what I love and actually get paid for it!
Feel like Rogers my fucking boss Kermit!!!!!

awesome... as an avid rock/alpine climber sometimes i wish i had the balls to do it to quicken my descent. but it's one thing holding onto a wall attached to a rope and another thing to fling yourself off of it
i work as a character animator for animated films, generally i love it, but sometimes the long hours get to me, but those are rewarded with being able to take months off between projects to travel

Carpenter here, although my back is giving out on me faster than I can fix it so I'm hoping I can turn my hobby into a money maker. I've been DJing for 15 years, never for the money because I've been in a skilled profession. It would be nice to play 3-4 nights a week for 5-6 hundred dollars a week, cash only and tax free...If not, I need to find something else
So my fellow Nexians, I have to ask, do most of you work? I am not interested in specifically what you do for a living as it is none of my business, just whether or not you work manual labor, office setting, lab setting, what hours you work, etc. I am interested to see how many different walks of life we have here. I realize that drug use knows no social classes and it interests me to see what all different types of people DMT has attracted. From what I have gathered thus far, most everyone on this forum is intelligent. Maybe not professionally and traditionally educated but, for the most part, everyone seems to be intelligent. I am on a few other forums centered around mind altering substances and usually the threads are littered with plenty of imbeciles and half wits.
So let me just ask straight forward. If you don't mind disclosing, what type of work do you do? Not specifically. Do you do manual labor and bust ass all day? Do you sit in a comfortable office chair and make calls all day? Do you work from home? Do you work at all? Do you work during the day or at night or both? If you don't mind me asking (and since we're all mostly strangers here) how are your finances? Do you struggle check to check? Live lavishly? Or somewhere in between?
I guess I'll start it off since I asked the questions. I work in a mix of manual labor and office settings. My job requires intelligence and physically exhausting labor at times. I work at nights and I prefer it this way. I would consider myself somewhere in the middle financially. Not rich, not struggling. However, I have struggled in the past. Faced homeless a time ago. Joblessness. Hunger. I've been everything but rich.
Now, if you don't mind, do share.

I do manual labor outdoors. I was a bicycle messenger for six years, then I grew and ran a weed house for two years. Now I work outdoors doing basic peasant labor, maybe three or four hours a week. That's not a typo. 3 or 4 hours a week.
I make very little money, 70 bucks a week or so. But I also have little in the way of bills: no rent, no phone, no car (I have a moped, three dollars fills the tank), pretty much all I pay for is food for me and my dog. I am in an unusual situation where I get paid if I work or not; I am using this time to write a novel, of which the first half I completed today, and I already have a small time publisher for; hopefully it'll sell while I shop it around to major publishers, get an agent and all that.

That thread has been dead for 3 days shy of a year.... Not trying to be a dick. I just want a more current view of the subject. Nothing wrong with re-exploring an old topic. I understand searching for questions that have been answered previously but sometimes it is nice just to have a conversation with like minded individuals on a topic that interests me. Thanks for showing me that thread. I will read it in depth but I would still like to discuss it with currently active Nexians.

I work in foodservice. I am very grateful to be employed, and I pride myself on my hard work. But frankly, I hate making people's food. I can tolerate it enough to do it as long as I have to, but I really do not see myself doing this for the rest of my life. I work two cooking jobs, totaling about 60-70 hours per week, splitting my time between a locally owned pizza shop and a locally owned breakfast burrito shack. Because of this I live comfortably, but I am far from wealthy.
I have been fortunate enough to find a very low-rent living situation, and I can afford to pursue my hobbies and interests to some extent, so I am content for the time being. I intend to go back to school this fall with the ultimate goal of pursuing a career which I find more fulfilling.
EDIT: I felt inclined to add that at one job I start at 5 PM and finish anywhere from 3-6 AM, and at the other I start at 6 AM and finish between 2-4 PM. The irregularity of my schedule makes it impossible for me to maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
I work a white collar professional job. I have an employer (though most in my field are self-employed) whose corporate offices are halfway across the country. I typically work 40- 50 hours a week where about 30% of my time is on-site appointments and the other 70% is in front of the computer at home. I make a comfortable living but get paid by the job so it can be feast or famine. Its certainly not my passion, but it beats the hell out of the 15 years or so of jobs I had where I was always sweating keeping a roof over my kids ' heads.
