I am sure this has been asked before, but I am just curious.
[SIZE=3]What do you people do in “real life”?[/SIZE]
What I mean is - do you work for a living, are you a student that works part time or not at all, are you a bum and ■■■■ proud of it, do you have a rich family so you dont have to work…? Anything!
Please only post once though - I want to see EVERYONE reply at least once.
Thanks!
Well, why don’t YOU start by telling us what you do? :trout:
I am a student. I go to SUNY BInghamton in NY state, USA. I am an Anthropology major with a minor in Archaeology. I make websites in my spare time for extra money, because I really don’t want to be working a part-time McDonald’s type job while I am at school.
I’m a student! I’m in the 8th grade …whatever! Trying to get my homepage done but stuck with the sound-thingy!
:*(
Working on another project which I will be sure to post here too after it’s done!:elderly:
You’re all wrong. The correct answer is
“post on kirupa ALL THE TIME”

Yes I post here at kirupa for a living, I study here while posting, I work part time here, I’m a bum here and proud of it, I have a rich family here and I don’t have to work though I post here for living! 
Please only post once though - I want to see EVERYONE reply at least once.

anyways, i go to school, and if you look at my occupation, i am a professional bum …or did i chg it…oh well
i’m a loafer i have no past, present, or future 
well… this is like the 3rd time I post here!
haw haw! :evil:
I am a graphic designer as an occupation.
In the past I have had many occupations, and they seem to come out every once in a while…
But generally, I am on my computer, a mere 15 ft commute, most of the time.
Rev
Graphics Design and Marketing for a new P2P corporation.
hey dan where ya been? a new p2p corp huh…interesting…mind giving us juicy details?
web designer
You will find out more when the time comes…
You mean not everyone here is a graphic/web designer?
I’m a consultant focusing on NT server enviroments as well as developing maintaining the corporate regional intranet for the SouthEast’s largest telephony company. Basically, I pray to God the stocks hold another day and bob and weave when lay offs are imminent. ASP, Database Administration, SQL, etc… Backend development.
Recently began to understand I could cut half of my expenses by learning to do the site design myself as well as the coding… So here I am.
Also, starting a new niche in Hospital wireless pdas for doctor patient information. It’s amazing how much money there is to be made here. First hospital 70 pdas, a wireless system, and web app that transfers the info to the db… 3 more of these and I’m retiring…
come on guys - only once please!!!
I am a Graphic Designer / Web Developer. I just graduated from college 4 months ago and am now working part time for 2 companies and freelancing myself out with whatever time I have left - which isnt much!
I am in 8th grade. i go to school and make websites. i play a ton of sports but that is after i am done posting. I am a full time poster. some days i get up and post untill i go to bed, other days i get up post then go to school and think about what i am going to post. i’m like a freak on a leash but without the leash (my buddy stole it). I am the only kid that knows ANYTHING about web/graphic design, exept the kid that stole my leash, his dad does stuff with Maya for a living so after he built his comp his dad started to teach him it (i have already started to get better than him with MAX and his dad has been teaching him for a few weeks now, i just started with tutorials the other day, lol) well thats about it…i think…
I’m a Webmaster and Consultant for the Government of Saskatchewan. I’m also a Web, Graphic, and Multimedia Designer. I work free-lance in my spare time and I’m also in the works of opening my own Skate and Snow board shop although that won’t be done for another 6 months.
[size=3]Oh yea, I also directed the Girls Gone Wild series…[/size]
[size=2]not really, but I have an ex-girlfriend that is in it…[/size]
[size=1]ok ok, none of those are true, but it would have been cool[/size]
I am just kidding (posting this for a laugh) so no one get any freakish ideas that I am a psychotic semi-p[size=1]0[/size]rn obsessed weirdo. But I am the real slim shady, all ya’ll is just imitating (damn thats old)!
we know Dan, we know 
As for me, I “work” at my local production school. We get payed to show up (and stay), but it’s more of a “self-teaching” kinda thing…
We have several workshops for ppl to mutter around in. Like woodshop (learn the basics, go nuts), kitchen/cafeteria (learn to cook, serve, whatever), EDB (learn to build websites, learn about computers in general), office (“students” here actually run the main office, right from admittance!) etc… we have about 12-13 shops…
As for me, I’m in EDB. We have several small customers (nothing fancy, we’re not proffesional). Tha magic of these workshops is, that you don’t have to know ANYthing about websites (ie) when you first show up. You just pick up a book, sit down at one of the com’s, and start reading/learning.
I’m currently getting the hang of DreamWeaver (a MUST buy!). On the side out there, I run around teaching a little Flash and Photoshop for the newbies… they know JACK about it… or…err… they didn’t before I came along…
My “teacher” uses me as head designer… I’m in FULL charge of designing layouts and crap for new sites.
One of my friends out there is in charge of ASP coding and stuff… he’s a wiz at that…! :o
Other than that I spend all the time I can with my girlfriend (soon to be fiance ;)), and pick up stuff from online tutorials here and there…
