What's your "Day Job"

Adeel · Thu 13/06/2013 17:38:48

I have worked as an Urdu to English (freelance) translator before. Planning to start tutoring from this month (or maybe next).

Trained as an English to Dutch translator, aspiring fiction writer, actually a software developer.

Sometimes confused.

Finally got a job. It's only a month-long English teaching gig at a summer school, but at least for now I don't have to call myself unemployed for a few weeks.

Part-time retail asshole.
The only part-time retail asshole on this entire board apparently.
Wow. To hell with you guys and your interesting jobs. To. Hell.

Full time retail manager.
Probably in the same sub-category as you Eggie.

Sorry to bring the thread back but was also interested in what other people did. I teach ESL here in sunny Dubai.

Some other posters have seriously cool jobs! Anyone want to trade?

I'm also in the EFL game. Since my post above I have come [back] to Japan and had two jobs, first as an assistant language teacher in two junior high schools and then as a teacher in an eikaiwa (English conversation school) which is ironic considering I am a terrible conversationalist.

I like the job though. Get to meet lots of interesting folks, including a member of AKB48. Just yesterday I taught a woman who is one of the top judges on the international figure-skating scene. Although equally there are some excruciating, boring-as-hell housewifes and salaryman who have nothing to talk about other than how much 'nothing special' they do between lessons.

I'm a software developer. I work in Java and Javascript.
It's software as a service that graphic design studios use.

I'm in broadcasting. My job title is Master Control Operator.

On a good day, this means I watch TV for a living.

On a bad day, it means I try to figure out why the TV went off the air and fix it.

Andail · Wed 06/09/2017 07:18:31

I'm a teacher half of the time and game developer half of the time.

Blondbraid · Wed 06/09/2017 10:11:48

I currently don't have any job, I'm studying video game development with a graphics orientation at university.

Danvzare · Wed 06/09/2017 11:06:14

I'm a student studying ICT and Design. So I guess I'm in the same boat as Blondbraid.

CrashPL · Wed 06/09/2017 11:42:14

I work as a QA engineer for a company delivering IT solutions for medical and pharmaceutical industry.
