Do you have a job? What is it?
Just thought I'd ask what everyone's occupation is that they use to fund the 3rd gen pride.
I realized I only know what a handful of folks do for a living.
So, what is it and where at?
I was a technician for Dept. of Justice, but just got a promo as an IT analyst with Dept. of Corrections.

Work ~25 hours a week as a mechanic, then work saturday (from 6AM to about 9 PM) as a delivery man for a company in Antioch delivering bounce houses. I typically make 250+ during the week, then make about 300 on the weekend, so I'm not doing too bad. Weekend business really depends alot on the rain though, last weekend I didn't make ****.
I go to school 5 days a week too so...

student currently...which doesn't really fund the T/A much. :P
Before that I was a network administrator for a small company though. ^_^
Graduate in May...I'll be job hunting then to pay for my money sink (who'd have thought that a car that sat for 2 years could need so much repair...or have so many original parts :P)

I work for Cingular Wireless as a sales rep in Placerville, CA. It's a cool job, free phone and service is the best part, but sales quota's suck as*.
Monday through Friday 5 pm to 3am I am a heavy equipment operator. I unload trucks as they show up and when we get enough product, I load a barge and ship it out to Canada. Saturday nights I am a bouncer at a local bar. During the day time I go to school.

I haven't had an altercation yet, and I get to drink for free after we close. Always a good perk.
