I do many things. CEO of a company I founded in high school, student, recent project manager/recruiter for a fortune 10 company, starting at one of the big four. My company is expected to do six figures revenue this year so I am excited of that accomplishment. I'd rather not share my pay for my jobs.

I'm currently a "Student Technical Specialist" (read: intern) for Lockheed Martin. Last summer I programmed GUIs for the consoles on the Navy's upcoming Virginia Class sub.

Different manager this summer, and I don't know what project I'm assigned to yet (job hasn't started yet pending Urine test), but it's definitely be something in Software Engineering IMO.

Last year I earned $14 / hour, this year I get $14.05 :)

Currently stuck in dead-end 'support assistant' (yes, that is honey coated) job with almost as much money as what my very expensive degree will probably start me off with. Questioning what's the point then;). Looking ti enter 'retail' world before getting a 'real' job...

Still in college as a music major, but make $$ in the summer as, well, a musician, more or less. I essentially have 3 jobs at the moment: Working in a music library, working for a summer piano camp for high schoolers, and freelance/accompanying work.

Currently... nothing (besides senior project in electrical engineering). In the future: nothing. In the past: student co-op at Eaton Aerospace for $17/hr over a total of about a year. I fixed all the crappy 20-year-old test panels that broke down, reverse-engineered them to make schematics, and fought with managers who wanted us to do everything today with no money and make failing parts pass somehow. Yay! :)
