I work as a first line help desk operator for a belgian internet customer service center. 90 percent of my time is spent tellin people to turn their router and modem off for 30 seconds. The other 10 percent is explaining that if they dont pay there bills then they have no internet!

Assistant practitioner in a Cellular pathology lab in a hospital in Manchester. I'm yuppie to the max, I do all manner of cool laboratory activities including but not limited to: Slicing up body parts, embedding said body parts in to wax, cutting sections for glass slides, staining slides with all sorts of colourful agents which show up different things at the cellular level (throug a microscope), playing with liquid Nitrogen, playing with other dangerous solvents and reagents.......

I get to wear a lab coat and look all professional, because that's what graduates do fo sho.

nice job djtheblade 8)

well i'm quitting school this week (haven't been there in months anyway) and plan on getting a day job since working at the local high-society house club (G A Y) ain't the most stable income... sadly i'll spend most of the money on finishing school via evening courses but it's still better than having to hang out with teenagers all day :roll:

Dual honours psychology with Media, communications and culture (2:1). It's technically a BSC which is how I was able to worm my way in to the position, usually it's reserved for folk with a Biomedical sciences degree, or related degrees in Health sciences, Biology and Chemistry (with top up courses required). I get on well with the manager so she helped me get in there basically despite my degree having next to nothing to do with the actual job role (save for the Neuropathology elements).

You'll be glad to know that we get a lot of POCS (Products of conception, aka miscarriages) in, so yes whereas all of you rudy poo candy assholes talk about 4chan sickness, I actually shovel dead babies (And rectums, sexual organs, breasts, shit filled colons, brains and guts) for a living. I got the real Breakcore credentials.

I should probably be careful how much info I divulge about myself on the internet really ha.

Yeah i was happy at first with this job, the hours are good( 9-5) and the pay is good( 9euro an hour + overtime). But it gets fuckin boring very quickly, theres no challenge to the job, just read a script, follow procedure. I took this job cause i was a chef and that was crazy stressful. now im on the other end of the spectrum, need to be somewhere in the middle.

audio engineering school... that's always been kind of a mystery to me, how does that work? is it a course at universities or private companies training you? where do i find one near where i live? it's always been a dream of mine to learn from professionals, but since in my city there's no "big" producers of any genre whatsoever, finding a mentor is pretty hard. i could of course annoy steinberg (the cubase-steinberg, he's a youth friend of my mom) but that guy is busy as fuck and i respect that :) ( i'd also have to move to hamburg, which isn't possible in the next 2 or 3 years so that's out of the question :? )

Hail Nethiros !

The school where i am is a private school. In france you can find public teaching about sound enginering but it's fuckin'boring (one year with only phisyc and math stuff). In private place it's more oriented to practice than on theory. We learn everything about how to use microphone, mixboard, eq, compressor, effects, speakers & software and we use them all hehehe.

I have learn so many things about music production in my first two month that I was unable to listen all the tracks I have made before hehehe.

You can learn all the same things by yourself but it's just realy more longer. You have to be patient hehehe.

So, if you have any question or tips to ask me ... just do it ;-)
