suburbanargyle Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Continental United States I work as a contractor for the Marine Corps, in the field of signals intelligence training (exploitation of different types of signals, VHF, UHF, GSM, etc.). Got my experience from the military and now I'm deployed 2-3 weeks a month in various (mostly CONUS) places, sometimes living in the field for days at a time. The hours are long but it's semi-fulfilling to know that Marines will be kept safer with good training. At some point soon I'd like to take my clearance and get a job in the DC/MD/VA area (my original home). What's CONUS stand for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I am a full-time student at the University of South Florida in Tampa (aka USF aka U Stay Forever) majoring in electrical engineering with an I-only-need-one-more-class-but-probably-won't-finish-it minor in electronic music (think Cage/Stockhausen rather than Oakenfold/Tiesto). I am also a few classes away from a math minor, but in order to be done by the end of 2010, I have to stick to the engineering courses...and hopefully pass them. : I also work at Office Depot on the weekends as a technology salesperson/general do-boy for a whopping $8.24 an hour, hence I refuse to speak Spanish seeing as how it is a skill that should warrant a minimum of $10/hr. I also consider myself a semi-professional musician...whatever that means nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsleepOnRocks Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm pretty sure you quoted the wrong person there. I was quoting you because I also deliver pizzas currently for a local place. Then I was adding on what I want to do. Gotcha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I am going to school to learn how to be a graphic designer. Until then, I am basically a coffee wench (I really don't like calling myself a barista....sounds too Starbucks-y for my liking). I make badass coffee/espresso beverages. I'm actually looking for a second job on the weekends (I need more money because I want to go to Europe next year)...and I got an interview at yet another coffee shop. So I may be working at two here in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I currently clean cabins at a state park. I really want to quit. Having a bachelor's degree and working for minimum wage really sucks. Hah, that sounds pretty shitty. I work on the receiving dock at a Macy's department store. Very easy work. No "uniform", and get to listen to music all day. Not the best pay, but for my age, and what I do, it works. (I really don't need much money) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcstrange87 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Trying to get my English Education/Elementary Education degree is what takes up a large part of my time, but that doesn't make me money of course, being the copy editor of the school paper is what brings in the cash(though it is a very small amount lol).
