Well i am a computer technician, at the age of 22

i have always wanted to do what i am doing now (except for about 2 years when i wanted to be an astronaut)

I like where i work, in fact i am at work now.

The only thing that i hate about my current job is the fact that i leave at the end of the month to move up north to be with my partner.

How i got the job was, i did a few weeks of work experience back in 2003

for the next while after i left school i worked in the vineyards for two years, i was a supervisor where i worked, then because of a back injury i had to stop work for four months

in 2006 i walked in again and said do you guys have a job open, i had a chat with the boss, and i got the job. I am currently running the IT dept. by my self at the moment because my work mate has gone to japan for a 5 week holiday and he only left last week.

So I like my job.

its funny you should say that, cos i like to here peoples life stories to, i appreciate where they come from and can relate to them easier once i know what they have done and how they got here

Hi.. I'm 18years old student and for living I'm just not doing some extra

I'm studying at school some miles from my flat and I just need money for traveling here. But I have good school and they just pay you for going to school and they pay more if you are going to works as helping worker. But for living Im doing only what my mum say to me because she is paying for living, then I must do everything what she say. I love my living but now I have girl and live is too different as it was when I haven't got her.

I'm working on a tech support center for a networking company. That's actually all I do to earn money, as of this moment. An interesting job where you get to interact with people from different parts of the world. Most of which, are in there worst shape. (Shouting and cursing on a non-working product but really is working and was just messed up. Sometimes, though, it really is not working.) It's fun. And I get to learn a lot about computers.
By the way, I'm a chemistry major and graduated about a year and half ago. Got sick of chemicals so I plunged myself into computers to learn something new. In the next months, maybe, I'll start pursuing chemistry back.
Life is work. So, it's best to work on something you enjoy.

i am interested to know what people do for a living and how they got to the position they are in? also if they have any regrets or ...

I am an onsite tech specialist. I love what I do and am very good at it, at least that is what everybody tells me. One catch about all of this though is I am self-employed which is very stressful. Where I live at there is no other choice. You are either self-employed or not employed. Doing what I do has a tremendous catch 22. Either you are doing well or not at all it seems. Right now I am going through a very hard time do to recent life circumstances. To do what I do I feel it is better to be working for a company where you know what kind of paycheck you are going to receive is. But the benefits are you do not have someone looking over your shoulder and the income can be unlimited if things play right.
