I'm a mechanical engineer working for the oil production and refining industry... the job is fine but I'm getting old and a bit tired of the entire thing so I voted "somewhat".

I'm an electrical engineer and I love my job.  Couldn't picture myself doing anything else at this point.

Yeah, it seems like almost all younger waitresses are attractive.  I could never work in a restaurant though.  Don't have the charisma to be a waitor, nor do I have the work ethic to be a busboy.

Yeah, that's where my job is a little depleted. I always say that just because our two biggest accounts are agriculture related doesn't mean we need to hire girls who look like livestock!

The agency I worked at prior to this one was probably 5-6 times bigger and beautiful women were plentiful. About the only thing I miss about that place.

We don;t have a single attractive cashier, all cute girls are clerks like me, the only one from my school who's a cashier is far, with short spiked hair and gets confused with a guy all the time. It's a very busy place so it takes the whole hour to clear the lot. Unless it's later at night that is, then it's nice.

Same job, but I don't mind it at all (it's much better than that dull place known as school).


With all the easy classes I have this sememster, I'd rather be at schoolEmbarrassed. It's just so boring and tiringCry Especially the 8-hour shifts on weekendsCry

Well, carts is awesome.  Very relaxing on warm nights, and it's laid back and you don't have to deal with people too much.

Bagging can be good depending on the cashier.  Fortunately for me, there are a lot of attractive and nice girls at the supermarket I work at.  If you get stuck with a lame cashier, it sucks though.

Cleaning usually isn't fun, so I do a half-assed job so I can get out of it quicker. Tongue

I sell western clothes, boots and the like. I like my job a lot, everyone I work with is cool I usually look foward to going to work. I don't plan on staying there too long though the pay is pretty terrible.

I love my job! Some days are more stressful than others, but overall I have a pretty easy going job as an art director for an ad agency.

I started off as a production artist in the industry and hated it. I upgraded my book, did some jobs on the side (even designed the CD by the country rock band Poco) and was ready to better my career. Then 9/11 hit and the already competitve industry dried up. Still, I cold called creative directors to set up networking sessions, got my face out there and have gone on to much better and bigger responsibilities. I'm even working with Rush designer Hugh Syme for a cover of our magazine. To be honest, as an average high school student who went on to college, earned a degree and has put it to work for him, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm proud of myself.

Careful, didn't you hear about Rico's latest honors?


I've been in the restaurant business for over twenty years, and I love it. I've held just about every position (including management), but I am best at waiting tables. That is what I currently do.

Artist, with a day job. I move furniture in high profile store. The work atmosphere is very nice, but still..
I'd prefer to be in front of a canvas.
