I work with a computer, I am a graphics and web designer and IT project coordinator, working full time for one company and having my own clients on the side.
Before this I was a bartender in a busy place, that was a nice job too as I was always running around doing stuff.
However I only work from home now, so while I am at a desk I am usually sitting on a large chair in crouching position and I often get up off the chair to do some push-ups, go for a jog etc. It also allows me to enjoy raw meats without coworkers staring at me which is nice. In the summer I often take my laptop outside and work on my outdoor patio in the sun.  8)

I do architecture, as a project manager and I am not inclined to pursue the paper to call myself an architect, with a company that specializes in the healthcare field. I'm usually in the office 3 days or so a week and at job sites 2 days a week. Lots of thinking, particularly spatially, which keeps me focused and not bored. :)

Bouncer, I guess. Though I dont work enough to really call it a profession. Whenever I want to generate some income I usually Bounce at private arrangements like raves and such. It is incredibly good money for a low investment of time and energy. The downside is that it can be hazardous to your health. Especially if you work as a club/bar bouncer. But large parties like raves are fine. I dont mind people on acid and extacy (they just want to hug and tell you the great secrets of life), but the combination of alcohol and cocaine intimidates me. It turns people insane if they are just a bit...off...to begin with. Whenever I have experienced sitations where people could not be reasoned with nomatter how hard and kindly you try, that particular mix is always in on it and it mostly erupts into violence at that point. Going back to school though, a thread here inspired my to finally send for the proper papers.

Coke makes people really sketch, and they have to be shady on that stuff becuase usually it makes u addicted slowly but surely, thus stealing and sketch lifestly. ive done TONS of different drugs, but no needles and coke i promised myself when i started.(only to find out the hospital gave me some when i got my finger got cut off. they called it "freezing lol")

If you have been put into anaesthetics there is a good change they used Ketamine  ;D. It boggles my mind that people take this stuff as a source of fun. Done loads of drugs myself, but like you I never did needles and only tried coke once. Didnt like it. I am obnoxious and selfcentered enough as it is :p

If you already excel in graphics you should work with your natural talent and make it into a career, taking business on the side is an excellent idea!
I was going to CEGEP (Montreal college) 3 years then did one year in university (McGill, animal studies) but I always was teaching myself the graphics and computer stuff on my own, the artistic talent I had from when I was a toddler really, I quit university after one year to pursue my own career and its been fun so far! As long you have good portfolio, clients and companies don't usually care if you have a graphics diploma or not, they never even ask, they want to see your skills. But if you want to be your own boss in a way, knowing some business skills can be a definite asset!

Sellin' chronic eh! Nice, if my dealers disappear on me I'll make sure to give you some business LOL  ;)

Not always the case, I used to do lots of coke but got bored of it a long long time ago, lol (I do know people that became addicted and that really sucks, but they had a certain personality, and certain problems that predisposed them to be addicted to it in the first place, sad really)
Now I do coke maybe twice a year, and its only with one of my girlfriends and we just hand out at her place drink and gossip a lot, fun fun
I also have tried every drug imaginable (except needles), never got addicted, I have stopped everything except weed which is not like a drug to me, its something I'll probably do the rest of my life, goes well with a creative career. I still occasionally do LSD or mushrooms (like 2-3 times a year) because they are not toxic like the chemical drugs and I always have a fun experience with them, good times  O0

done that gig now, stopped hanging w all the people i used with after my world caved in. straightedge for just over a year now. paleo is the best drug i have ever come across. i have tried weed once since starting paleo, and it jsut does not give me the same desired effect. the initial halflife is good, but after u just feel like blahhhh way to much. i get burnt out mentally, but physically its the exact opposite, i can jsut keep exercising/playing sports for ever. anyone know the reason 4 that? the first halflife gets me supper pumped/agressive and i can run/bike WAYYYY faster which i find odd. its like i dont feel hte pain in my core/legs

I only smoke tiny bits at a time, I never ever roll a joint, only put a small crumb into my pipe and it equals one "puff"...
Sometimes I am hanging with friends and they roll a whole joint, after that I get tired and too stoned by it, but taking only one puff gives me the nice mental effect and absolutely no physical drawback. I always like it in small quantities only  :)

do u make a fuss about the kind of stuff u get (indoor/outdoor). cause if u have seen first hand some of the shit they use to accelerate plant growth in the indoor plants especially ud think twice about it. if i ever use drugs again its gotta be stuff i planted and is organic. many guys are lacing their shit w small mounts of meth and its so prevalent u can't tell if u only smoke indoor weed. outdoor gives a nicer more natural buzz i find, like a rasta body buzz, not a head high like indoor

I have had nice outdoor, shitty outdoor, and vice versa, nice and shitty indoor, you can actually grow some nice indoor stuff without the use of meth or anything like that. I myself used to grow stuff indoors so I know how the process is  ;)
People I get it from are all friends and I have known for a long time, two of them has 100% organic stuff grown outside, there is quite a lot of outdoor growing going on around Ontario, Quebec etc. I don't like pure sativa or pure indica types, I prefer a nice hybrid actually...
PS.. (I was just kidding to you when I said about "giving you business" in my previous post, I just like to kid around)   O0
... I think this thread is supposed to be about jobs and we hijacked it >< sorry guys, back to jobs ha ha ...
