What do you all do for a living?

Contractor/smart ass.

 

I make jewelry

 

I try different things to earn.

 

I'm a student right now.
I make some cash working for my parents
on days off of school..
I'm hoping to go into the writing field
after this last year of high school & then college
journalism, possibly.

 

I stated out working at 15.....My first job was a carhop job on rollar skates at the local hamburger joint... Then I got frustrated with always busting my buns when my rollar skate wheel run over somthing that would throw me off balance....I decided then it was time to find somthing that wouldnt leave so many skint legs and knees on me.... Thats when I went to washing dishes inside of a diner.... Was still working in a restaurant when I met my ex-husband and I then became a wife and mother of three so I had no time to work only at home.... So I stayed home and raised my children then when I finally did decide I wanted to go back to work I became dissabled... Now im just a stay at home person raising a grandson ..... So this was what I use to do.... Peace unto ya's...

 

I'm testing the waters trying to start my own business via ebay and etsy... some of my stuff is plastered all over the Fashion and Crafts forum...

 

LOL!!

 

I agree deeply in your moral. I found out how important an education is when I was 22, a college drop out and unemployed. I had no decent job options so I got back in to Administration and now at 24 I feel I have lost a lot of time because many of my friends are now graduates what hurts if knowing I could be done too.
Continuing the subject, I know tree older people who dropped out of school and never went back... one jumps around car dealers working a few months at a time and lives with parents (age 34). The other "works" at his fathers audio equipment store, lives with parents (age 35). Last person my sister age 25 lives with my mother, is an ex drug addict and profesionaly does nothing.
I don´t think its a coincidence that everybody I know who dropps out of school ends up in a undesirable situation, and I use undesirable not coming from me but they feel the same way.

 

I borrow money from my parents and make empty promices in returning the cash.

...Because I can.

I also do voluntary work at a fauna rehabilitation where I care for fluffy cute animals such a bilbys, possums, ravens, tawnys, magpies, and other wild animals. Its rewarding enough.
