Where does your money come from?

[Pit-Jr]

Ill be kicking and sceaming on my way to a job interview tommorow so i thought id start a thread about what everyone does for a living or if your freeloading off Ma and Pa (lucky bastards).

Right now im working at a box factory and its not as glamorous as the Simpsons would have you believe.

[Cubechris]

I make money from buying and selling positive rep points.

[CVD]

And I work for Tesco.

We have more people working for us than there is Brittish troops in Iraq. It'l be easy to get a job there if you want.

[The3rdChildren]

[Cubechris]

Oh man, let's not start this here.

I was joking, but you better get on your knees for Mike, he is upset.

[The3rdChildren]

hahaha well i have to do sum work here and there once in a while ok not very often:D

It's alright, I'm just kidding around anyway.

[Lammie]

I work in a bar, serving drinks to surly assholes.

[Wesley]

[Dawn]

[will']

I'm a Business Analyst for an Electronics Company. I miss being a lazy student.

[RoadKill]

I'm currently on a gamut of benefits being a lazy fucking shite.

I'm poor as all hell.

[mario114]

[system_error]

During summer and winter I work for various companies - depending on holidays and stuff. I worked for a huge printing company, at a hospital, clothing service, ... . While I am at university my parents support me and I try to save money for my stock fund.

[Blackfox]

I work at the local chemist and get EMA. Win for me.

Although i am quitting soon, and Im going to try to get some work in a hospital hopefully.

[DS MaNiAc]

Still at school but I'm applyingfor a Paper Job - not with a newsagents but with the local free paper. I get loads of papers delivered to my house and I post them in every house in my area untill I have none left. I'm just waiting for the call back -.-

[Jordan]

I get money from EMA. Its fun to scam the government.

[Blackfox]

Yup, and for all that hard work you get paid about £7. I did it and quit a week later.

[rizz]

Yay for my post totally not appearing :S

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

I have two jobs; woolies 'sales assistant' and 'admin' at a local health centre. I also get a maintenance (maintainance?) allowance every term..

.. But I survived rather happily for months without money. The problem with having money is you want to spend it.

[Eenuh]

Some boring office job on Saturdays (sometimes on Sundays too and on weekdays during vacations) which barely makes me any money; babysitting (urgh); hopefully soon getting some money for commissions I'll be doing (wheeee).

[EEVILMURRAY]

Student loan and money mother and father give me. I did a weeks worth of shopping in Morrisons for a tenner, fucking genius.

[Meik]

I load kids onto rollercoasters and make them sick. I also make kids cry when I tell them they're not tall enough to ride.

I love my job.

[elniro]

From parents and gifts for b-day, etc.

I want to get a saturday job on weekends but im too lazy to look around lol

[Platty]

i have a job within the government and do shift work and get paid a lot for it. Thats where i get my money from. Been there 2 and half years now.

[Tom]

i have a student loan, im a supervisor at a shop and do ocasional marketing work.

[masaki86]

My rent and bills are paid with my student loan; everything else comes from working 20 odd hours a week at Wilkinsons Hardware store.

[Ryan]

I dont get much money I usually just ask for small stuff occassionally..

[Katie]

I work full time in an office but it pays terribly so it's not hard to spend it. I used ebay to make money before I got a job.

[Android18a]

I have a full time job, about 12K a year. Pays my games.

[Raining_again]

I work in an office part time. I didnt get paid for going to college like most of you lucky people. In my last year when it started, i was officially too old :( damn you guys gettin money for nothin :heh:

[kopo]

I speculate on third world country's currencies.




But seriously, I've worked in an egg factory and got some money there. Now i'm trying to get in a restaurant. I've worked there 2 times and now they'll pick the guy who gets to stay there. It's an awesome job, grilling meat, cooking pasta, doing little salads, the dishes, and scampies and stuff. Hope i get it.
Oh and they're paying too much to me. According to the indexes i should get like €7.5/hr but last time they gave €9/hr. Sweet.
Than just the money from bdays and holidays. But tbh in the last year the holiday money went backwards. Ah well.

[Sarka]

I get £10 a week fomr my parents! Looking for a job though...

[Pit-Jr]

£100 a week for doing fuck all:D plus 4 weeks paid holiday a year

What kinda job is that booker? Sounds like something id stick with

[Hellfire]

Stealing from old ladies mainly. OH and my parents also help.

[Calza]

Paper round 70+ a month. And i just blew it on a ds with a dead pixel

[rokhed00]

What kinda job is that booker? Sounds like something id stick with


He pushes trolleys at my local Safeways.

[rokhed00]

i dont push trolleys anymore, they are £1 trolleys, all i have to do that involves pushing is to stop them from overflowing...and why is it i never see you eh?

You don't see me as I hardly ever go shopping, that's what the missus is for.
I'll try to pop in sometime soon though, just for you.

[rokhed00]

make it a saturday

OK mate, I'll come and do a bit of shopping this saturday afternoon.

[Platty]

it must be love, love love.

[blumeanie.]

Im a sad trainspotter , i work in the railway and have a cosy signal box all to myself , it pays rather well £28k - £30k .I also get a week off every 4 weeks and 35 annual days holiday a year . I enjoy it even though it gets majorly scary at times (its like looking at a plate of spaghetti) and the suicides can be upsetting (why do they all choose the railway?)apart from that i like it , its a good white knuckle /seat of the pants ride. No wonder im so bloody stressed out all the time,LOL.

[ViPeR]

I work in the shithole that is Morrisons. Though i've applied for Admin job (won't get it) and am looking around for other jobs more worthy of my time.

[Ice9]

Well im just going for my interview for christmas work at Argos. Hopefully it will all go well!

I want EMA damnit!

[Mr_Odwin]

I used to be a student but now my official registration period has ended and I'm still writing up. I guess I'm unemployed.
So ... the currently wife brings in the pennies. She works for Siemens in an office doing officey things.

[Oli1983uk]

well at the moment I work @ the bbc in london, work is alright and pay is not to bad, some nights i can get paided a for a full 10 hour shift even thou i would only be there for 2 hours.

I am looking for a new job at the moment as my parents are moving away and i have to get a mortage for buy a house from them.

[system_error]

I work in my holidays ... so far I worked in some stores, clothing company, hospital, printing office and a few more. During the year my parents support me and I try to save up as much money as possible.

[The3rdChildren]

I work part-time at a Somerfield store. It isn't bad, but it sure as fuck isn't good. Staff are friendly, customers are friendly. Hell... without the actual work element it would be a blast.

[Calibur]

I work at a fairly large call center doing tech support for XP, Its good pay if you can put up with the customers.

[moorek]

i earn my money by playing Perfect Dark Zero all day everyday! not bad really :wink:. and cus im always at work i cant spend any, win win, except at Mcdonalds at dinner!

[Haver]

I used to work at WHSmiths in the entertainment section but after four or so months my paycheck really didn't justify what they were asking of me. I worked during the summer this year at my sixth-form, simple database stuff, and that's given me a bit of cash to spend. My Nintendo DS will probably drain that sum in the next month or so. Maybe it's time to get a proper job again.

[Maxi678]

I work in my local Co-op. Currently working on the tills all the time, so in some ways it is easy money and other ways i'm bored of it.

[Bowser.Vs.FWNT]

I have a Machine in my Basement that makes COUNTERFIT Money thats where all mine comes from, it also has been known to produce zombies occasionally.

[Indigo]

I get £10 a week fomr my parents! Looking for a job though...
Yeah, same. I went for an interview for a job at a local library a week ago, which went really well, so fingers crossed I'll get it. I'm up against quite a few people though, so I can't say I'm confident they'll choose me, but there's always a chance.

[Dieter]

I get 20 euro a month from my parents, and they sponsor me in bigger things I want to buy.

I work at a bakery, one week I work on Saturday from 6.00-12.00 and the other I work on Sunday from 5.00-12.00. Yeah, the hours are bad (when you get up :)), but I still have half the day free for other stuff. The pay is pretty decent, and above all, I love doing it :D

[jakeee]

I guess I'm still a free-loader. But I think I have earned the money by studying hard (I get excellent grades and I surf on internet :wink:).

[Katie]

I work in the shithole that is Morrisons. Though i've applied for Admin job (won't get it) and am looking around for other jobs more worthy of my time.


Oh I didn't know you'd applied for something, good luck. I've finally sent my CV off to another company today, not sure if anything will come of it though.

[Raining_again]

just found out my 17 y/o sister has gotten a payrise from 6.30 to 7 quid an hour, what a screw over!

[Pit-Jr]

I thought for sure there would be a few drug dealers or pimps among you

[MunKy]

I used to work a Mcdonalds until last crimbo then I quit and I worked at my cousins MOT garage in Bicester for the summer and now I get handouts from my dad while I wait to join armed forces. Told me to put on 5 kilos, arseholes.

[Pit-Jr]

you shoulda hogged out at McDonalds while you had the chance

[MunKy]

you shoulda hogged out at McDonalds while you had the chance

I was gonna until I saw how it was made, trust me dont eat there. Also a second degree burn and a dickhead manager who was always after me for no reason. And hows this for a shift : 1:00 PM - 3:00 AM. That place almost killed my social life and Ive boycotted them aswell. Havent even returned and didnt tell em I quit.

[GoonFace]

I get £50 a month from my parents at the moment, but I am looking for a job.

[Sooj]

Well I use to recieve £200 a month. Working as a waiter, 8 hours shift. The thing was I don't get paid by the hour, I get paid by the day. For instance, on friday I arrive at work at 6pm and finish at 11:30pm and I get £25 paid in cash for that day. I go in on saturday at 3pm and finish at 11:30 and I still get £25 which is rather pathetic so yeah, I only work Fridays now.

Meaning that I now only get £100 a month but thats just me working 1 day a week and everythings improved. From work itself to my social life and school. Now, I am thinking about quitting at the current Restaurant and applying at "The Moat House" because I will get paid a lot more (£40 a day/5.50 an hour) plus I'll be only working 1 day a week.

So yeah, am just scared of going somewhere new where I will no longer have the power to tell other waiters what to do haha.

Oh and I also get an EMA but so far my money hasn't been deposited in my account. :weep:

[Katie]

What the hell does she do?

[#1cubeplayer]

I mooch my money off of my parents as I'm not old enough to work yet. 4 more months and I'll think about working. I'll probably apply at an electronics store.

[Link]

I work at a gym and get paid a ridiculously large amount of money to watch the hottest chicks run on treadmills...I love my job!

[trisha]

god.
there is a well in one of my gardens where coins are pumped up to a money fountain.
every now and again i send some poor people to fill a bucket or two for me. naturally security makes sure they dont leave with any of my coins hidden on them.

[Cat]

I work in a warehouse in two shifts.. i do not want to do this for the rest of my life.

[Shmotz]

At the moment, the government! Well local council or whatever.

Still I'm spending shitloads of it (around £500 in 4 weeks). Must survive till Christmas...

[Raining_again]

What the hell does she do?

she works as a dental nurse, she isnt even fully qualified yet either! shes had 2 pay rises in the job shes in, and shes been there like 4 months!

[Offerman]

Doing an Apprenticeship in Engineering for DLR, that supplys alot of the world with their bank-notes. I usally see about £300 a week. But I still wouldnt have minded staying at school and doing 6th form, just so I could have got a girlfriend and got laid.

[Ashley]

I work (at Game now) and am on apparently £5.05 an hour. Dunno, just started but thats what they tell me. No fixed hours so I can't say "I get x a month" but its mostly being saved for money-sucking uni.

I couldn't not work; for one I'd get bored and it just feels useless. Theres plenty of people who are plenty employable, just damn lazy.

[kopo]

i earn my money by playing Perfect Dark Zero all day everyday! not bad really :wink:. and cus im always at work i cant spend any, win win, except at Mcdonalds at dinner!
I...envy...you. Please, let me touch oh person Who Has Played Perfect Dark Zero :bow: :bow:

I thought for sure there would be a few drug dealers or pimps among you
I do sell the occasional blow or XTC straight and fresh from respectively Colombia and an ultra secret underground facility assigned to develop the most powerfull dehydration pills that happen to have a rather splendid effect on one's mental health.
And sure, eveyone likes asian pussy. There's great profit to be made on the uncultivated 17y/o little asian girl market.




Damnit, just got a call from the eggfactory but i had to turn them down. Missing 2 days of work but meh, it's a shitjob (also available from little asian girls, in case anyone's interested)

[Sooj]

But I still wouldnt have minded staying at school and doing 6th form, just so I could have got a girlfriend and got laid.
Sorry mate but I must say that you truely are pathetic.

[Offerman]

I'd like to just say 'Why?', but the minimum character thing has other ideas. But tell me, why is it too much to ask?

[dazzybee]

Run a theatre and film company - but my main payment comes from acting, writing and directing!! Though lately mainly the writing and directing side of things!!

Used to, used to shift lots of weed and speed, had to give it up though as I was taking as much as I was selling.

[Offerman]

Speed is questionable; but the weed flys around like horseshit, so I guess thats pretty normal.

[rokhed00]

Speed is questionable

Not mine, I only got the best, after all I was taking it myself, so it wasn't going to be shit.

[paperwario]

Doing an Apprenticeship in Engineering for DLR, that supplys alot of the world with their bank-notes. I usally see about £300 a week.

if they supply banknotes and you only get to see £300 then either they're not printing enough or you're not working hard enough. what's a DLR?

[Marshmellow]

And what does Daddy make you do for your money? :)

haha that made me laugh thankyou:D

[Offerman]

if they supply banknotes and you only get to see £300 then either they're not printing enough or you're not working hard enough. what's a DLR?

De La Rue - http://www.delarue.com/

And they do actually have to sell the banknotes; otherwise there is that little problem of hyper-inflation. If you did Modern History it might ring a bell.

EMA is the worst thing on Earth. It should die and rot. I have to lose a day at work to get just over £30 and others get it for the same work I do during the week AND get a 2 day weekend, unlike my 1 day!!

[Blackfox]

Well spare a thought for the bright and clever kids who wouldn't be able to go to college becuase they cant afford it. Yes, i know that people abuse it, and £30 is too mucht o give kids - but its a good idea in principle.

No, it doesn't work in principal at all. You more-or-less automatically get it if your primary household has only one caregiver. Some people don't even want to go on after EMA years anyway.

[Big Red]

Just cork it - your making a fool of yourself and annoying alot of people.

sorry man that was a bit childish.(moment of weakness)and i am a bit of a fool!

but realy i get my money by wealin an dealin(tacke advantage of a situation)capatalism if u like. i do love havin a real job as long as the money is good,but theirs no way im going back into chefin
(the red pic of vegita is me in the kitchen when u are workin with amaters)
or as you lot say noobs (which i still dont no what it means) im guessin it's a tit
and as some one said before dealin is a risky buisness if u are able to consume all ur goods and spend monyey while doing so.

[rokhed00]

so where was you rokhed?

Sorry mate, the missus wanted to go shopping somewhere else this saturday.
I did come up on thursday, but they wouldn't let me in, fire alarm had gone off or something.

Maybe next week.

[#1cubeplayer]

Maybe they were just afraid of you and made up that excuse.

[dukkadukka]
