What you guys do???
« on: Feb 27, 2006, 11:23PM »
Hey fellas! i just thought i would start this thread because i was interested in what people are doing with themselves and i thought maybe this thread could help us all get to know each other better etc.  So basically you can just say what it is you do most of the time.  This could be University, school or work and then where it is and what you do there.  I will start and hope you all get into it  :D :

I do uni full time at Unisa studing computer science with a minor in electrical engineering, and work part time at coles in a shared nightfill manager position (do it a couple times a week while the other guy studies).

I've actually finished the engineering part of my degree now I just have to a few more subjects with the CS part.

Doesn't leave me with a lot of spare time working and studying, but I manage somehow.

I do Cert 4 Multimedia @ Croydon Tafe on Goodall Avenue which is just off Regency Road near Arndale Mall, just finished Cert 3 there last year, and because of that I only have to go to tafe Tuesday Afternoons for the first term, but technically I go Mondays, Tuesdays, and half a day Wednesday! :)

For work I technically do Web Design work, but atm its just starting off, as I'm trying to build my own PHP Scripts for certain things for more graphic intense sites, and other things like that, lol its more of a bitch than I thought :P but yeah besides that for more steady work, I work with my dad whom is a Builder of all Trades and stuff.

What I do the rest of the week... I sit on my butt a lot at my computer doing work, designing, my girlfriend <3, church/youth group and drumming there... umm thats about it really ;D

I'm studying (full time) Tourism- Event Management at Drysdale tafe, just doing the Cert 3 now, but I'll go on and do the Cert 4 in 3rd term and then the Advance Diploma next year, then possible 1 year at Uni the year after for a Bachelor of Business Administration- Tourism Management. I've also got a Cert. 3 in Hospitality operations.

Work wise, I have two casual jobs, one is at a local 5 star hotel as a waiter/function attendant and the other is just temporary function work with several organisations (Department of Defence, Tasmanian Cricket Association, a local winery etc.)

I'm a Commercial Pilot and am final year (3rd) in a Bachelor of Applied Science (Civil Aviation) degree at UniSA. Currently unemployed as a pilot but hopefully by the end of this year I will have a job dropping skydivers or looking for sharks along adelaide beaches.

Current work is very exciting and riveting  ::) IGA supermarket general bum, ie stock, checkout, deli, cleaning.

First a Silver TRX, then a White TRX...whats next? Game Boy-Clear style TRX?

I studied 1st year Microelectronic Engineering at Griffith Uni last year, but lost interest in it at the end of 1st semester. The parents pressured me into doing 2nd sem and now I'm taking a year or 5 off uni.

I'm now working full-time as an installer at Strathfield Car Audio as well as working 1-3 nights a week at Dominos as a delivery driver.

...whilst trying to develop my own business.

Out of curiosity, what kind of business?

I'm currently a Home Carer - I clean houses for people who can't really do it for themselves - sick, frail, that sort of thing...

I've been doing mosly monkey work - cleaning, working in an abbatoir and stuff like that since 2001 - when I used to be an accountant. I might get back into that someday, but I hate suits (only found that out after I graduated)

Well, at the moment custom U12 parts as everyone would no doubt be aware of, but eventually a rather small "boutique" style car manufacturer; in a word small cars (like the Ariel Atom) designed to compete on a race track with the likes of Ferrari/Porsche/Lamborghini.
