112 a day? Holy fuck.
I work as an intern at my dad's company as a tester for their video converting software (they put some stuff on nvidia chips-it's really impressive). I basically look at videos all day, but the quality gets really, really fucked up so it not very pleasant, but I get $10 an hour, which is nice in high school. I work about 20 hours/week but that'll go down as baseball season starts (probably to around 10 hours/week).
Otherwise I'm a full time student looking to get into Constitution Team next year. I play baseball, board games, pokemon, and solve the Rubik's cube and its variations. For all of you wondering how people like this do it (I sometimes wonder myself): you lose insane amounts of sleep and have to make up for it sometime, or you just don't do everything 100%. Last summer I averaged 13 hours of sleep a day and caught pneumonia and swine flu. That's what I call a worn out body!

nice $5 to do nothing
I've been considering being a teacher. Is it good?
Ah, working with CUDA? Do your job nice as I'm really hoping the encoding software that uses it improves soon. There aren't really any solutions good enough to replace standard video encoding using purely the CPU, but it's going to be great when video cards can start helping out. Will let me test my projects much faster =)
Another full time student here.
I do voluntary work feeding drunk people toast in the early hours of the morning.

I'm the Assistant Manager of a Papa Johns. Pay is $12 per hour at the moment, and I will receive the next General Manager position that opens up in the franchise, a pay jump to $700/week + Bonus.
I also occasionally substitute teach for $108.15/day, when I have days off during the week.

Full-time student... but I don't necessarily take that too seriously o.O also I am a server at weddings/other large events, and most importantly I get as many acting jobs as I can when I can; audition audition audition
Same as above, full time high-school student, don't take it seriously at all...
AJers
Your typical e-wench
I do Quality Assurance for a small business that works with individuals who have developmental disabilities. In other words: I write a lot of reports, do a lot of surveys, oversee a lot of staff and ensure the agency is in compliance with federal/state laws and that we're just top notch all around (yes, very very very very very boring/redundant).
I have a nice salary, which comes in handy. Especially because I've had a lot of family emergencies/trips out-of-state where I've literally been gone for week(s) at a time and still got my entire paycheck (yes, I have awesome bosses).
However, for the last few months (barring my trips out of state) we've been preparing for an accreditation survey (CARF) that will be coming in at the beginning of March... which I get to head up. (grr!) I have hopes that after CARF I'll go back to my 32-40 hours per week schedule, but right now I work around 60-70 hours per week-and that's only looking to increase as the accreditation gets closer. Sometimes I really do hate being administration. Then again, having the title of Director under my belt will look really good on my resume for later years.
Before I was totally slammed with family emergencies/trips, I also worked as a contract trainer for other companies to supplement my income. I may/may not pick this back up after CARF as I want to go back to school and finish up my bachelors and start on my masters in the fall. Yay for goals!
And, up until approx. 6-months ago I volunteered at the Inpatient Ward for the child life center at UNMH; I will be picking this back up post-accreditation, as well.

I juggle two majors and a minor with a job at a coffee shop. I even make a Special Drink™ that may or may not contain Secret Ingredients™. I also get to pick out the music that plays in the shop while I'm working, so there's a lot of Nina Simone playing while I'm around, which is, in my opinion, the perfect coffeshop music. The boyfriend is usually somewhere in the vicinity, which is excellent. I get smoke breaks whenever I want. The pay is pretty decent; I make good tips because I'm pretty dam' chatty. Most of the customers are pretty easygoing, too; many just get a coffee and then study for a few hours. It's right by campus and right by my apartment, which is an added bonus. The only difficult part of this job is that one time a week when THAT CRAZY LADY comes and wants to talk to anyone about everything. She usually talks about her hair, my hair, the weather, that nice car over there, how that one lady in the corner is looking at her weird, her ex-husband, how I remind her of her son, general gossip, and "you're out of paper towels in the ladies' room". I checked; we weren't.
In short, I love my job.

Volunteer, but I'm doing my best to make a good impression on the staff so that they'll eventually hire me full time as a paid employee. Which my bosses tell me is a very good possibility. I still live with my parents at 20, so I'll be able to get a resource pool going so that I can create an art portfolio that will make up for my slack grades in high school. Hopefully that combined with good grades from local CC courses will seal the deal when I start applying in a few years.
Well, I don't have a real job yet, (still high-school aged) but I will be making money by performing improvisational theater and 10 minute plays come march. I get 3 percent of the door though, so I doubt it would be enough to live off of.
I am an audit junior at the London office of RSM Tenon. We are the 7th largest accounting and business services firm in the UK, and we are part of the 6th largest global network.
My office specialises in film and we have dealt with almost every movie in recent memory that has shot a scene in the UK (and many more yet to be released). I have worked here for 5 months and it has been pretty intense. I was the only junior recruited in September (another just joined in January) and was thrown into the deep end straight away. I have already worked with a number of clients from a variety industries ranging from engineering to film financing to well known retailers. I have also worked for corporate finance dealing with a hotel takeover, and have helped prepare accounts for clients in outsourcing, some of whom are famous!
The hours are good (usually <40 a week excluding lunch), but my commute takes 70 minutes each way.

I have been working as an analytical chemist without analytical chemist qualifications the last two years for a company named Intertek. I work in what is known as the "Micro-Elemental" section of our building, and mainly analyse gasolines, diesels and other liquid fuels for large oil companies such as BP and Shell. We're looking mainly for levels Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulphur, and can report results down to part per billion levels with a relative degree of accuracy.. I am but a lab rat at the moment, and admitedly got lucky landing a career rather than just a job when I handed in my CV. I work 45 hours a week, excluding lunchtimes, but the pay is good and I get plenty of holiday. The company are paying my uni fees so I don't have a fat debt at the end of my current studies as well.
