    I think it'd be interesting to know what everyone does around here for money. We know what each other look like,what cars we drive, which phones we use.....now how do we pay for it?

    I am a sophomore at the University of Delaware (Major: Wildlife Conservation Minor: Biology), but I am working with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority this summer. I am an engineering intern. Not exactly related to my major (it's sort of environmental engineering), but it looks good on a resume, and pays well.

    To all my unseen friends, I hope you will still answer my posts after this.

    After 35 years I am retired. I servered our gov't as a tax auditor.

    Look at it this way, I made sure the other guy paid the correct tax, so that your tax would be as low as possible.

    I'm currently employed as a full time bum. My duties consist of laying around the house and doing nothing, watching TV, eating, sleeping, and being on the computer many hours a day. It doesn't pay much but it's a easy job.

    LOL I did the same thing for years. I'm new to WA (spent the last couple years on Zaurus and Clie forums, and even phonescoop *shudder* - mostly as a lurker), so "hi everyone". Self-employed in web-based corporate training.

    It's one of those work at home jobs. It took 24 years of sitting on my a** to perfect it so it might take you some time before you become good at being a bum. It takes years of practice. :D

Plus I get good tips. Last week I got 48 bottles of Michelob light from one happy customer. mmmmmmm! :D

    Programming? Ugh....I give you TONS of credit if you go that route. Programming is VERY tedious and stressful...your opportunities will be endless though. IT jobs nowadays are slimming down. Unless you are a senior level programmer/analyst/manager you are pretty much out of luck.
