Question Time~
What do you do, in occupation, or free time?
I took a year of Culinary Arts, it was fun, though maybe not for me as a profession. I've recently been thinking about looking into Teaching or perhaps Programming. There are some other possibilities in my list, but I'll take one step at a time.
Aside from career pursuits, I fill my time with games, anime / livestreams, conversing online and taking walks.
The tiger enjoys working with his soldering iron, cathode-ray oscilloscope and notepad.
I have started learning of textiles and plan to weave various items for my own use soon, belts, straps.
My main hobby tends to be exploring and roaming the area noon or midnight.
I'm an university student at UBC. Nothing too special. :P
Job wise I do lot-work/ auto detailing for a used car dealership, nothing glamorous here, but at least I can be physically active and get an okay wage. Its got its ups and downs, I work with car salesmen and they are pretty true to their stereotype so I find myself feeling morally sick some days, but I do find all kinds of neat stuff in old trade-ins. Dragons gonna hoard, lol.
Hobby wise I like to work on computers and play around with electronics, in fact I got too much electronic and computer junk at this point XD. I also love drawing (what furry doesn't?) im not really serious with my art, I just like to draw what I like to draw, so dragons and porn, and a combination of the two hehehe! Last but not least, I am a little bit of a car guy, I like to tweak, fix and paint, at least what I can do to the best of my abilities, got a lill RV that I have put a fair bit of work into in that regard, its kinda fun ^.=.^

That is
the most special thing. 8D
I work as an electrician. Communications/low-voltage side, usually. But they pull me over to The Sparkies when they need a geek to operate IR cameras or computers. I work all summer to pay for school, and study Computer Science the rest of the year at UBC.
I've got a wall of text detailing my hobbies in my profile. :V
I'm in AI :D drawing is fun on its own too
but other than drawing and classes I play rpg games
Lemur is a Finishing Supervisor at a lumber mill, and a freelance Audio Engineer. I also work for Emergency Management BC as a SAR Aeronautical Navigator...but that's strictly volunteer.
What little time I have left, I fill with musical instruments, my motorcycle, and reading. I also love to cook, and I go through phases where I enjoy drawing, too. ^^

I'm in AI :D
I was in AI, once, too.
I deliver newspapers, but for ten cents a paper, a hundred houses per route twice a week, it ain't anything to live on. =>.<=
In my spare time (while I look for a real job) I play around with Blender (http://www.blender.org/) (a 3D creation suite), fiddle around writing (but not yet completing) a couple of Android apps, amateur photography, and sometimes I even do some crochet or knotwork.
I am an environment illustrator for Disney's Club Penguin game.
I've been in the exciting world of advertising for the last ten years. The department I manage looks after website admin and site graphics. I have an architecture degree, but this pays better and is more creative. Also, the clients don't sue you for collapsed mezzanines.
my 'trade' is a class 1 driver - tractor trailer, but i am looking for work at the moment. i do own a small one ton flat deck open for work, contract or daily
i also have the diploma that says i am a qualified gas fitter (install furnaces). i can also do plumbing and electrical, low and hi voltage.
been a chauffeur and cab driver, plus driven tow truck (tow car = tokar), flat deck, 4 car auto carrier, and more.
seeking any driving job, or customer service work. can you help?
I'm a student.
I like to snowboard a ton, i worked a paper route and saved 1000$ and spent it all on snowboard gear last year, and got my Seymour pass recently! I worked in brooks AB for a bit and made 400$ in a week. Planning on going back after school because i liked it, or get a job here if I start to like it better here.
offtopic: this thread's name put this song in my head
dogg pound gang - what would you do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PFbD0YIeMk#ws)
I dont do anything in terms of occupation at the moment. But ive been lookin and in my spare time i play the occasional video game, go for walks, watch netflix or make model cars. I havnt finished one in quite awhile >.> might get back on that... hmm well damn that actually gives me something to do tonight! XD woo! But ive been trying to get out more and kinda hang out with people alot more.. not a concept im used to XD
I'm a programmer, mostly Java. As for other things I do, been getting back into some musical stuff (guitar and DJing) and thinking of trying my hand at electronic music production.
Oh, and I'm really into fountain pens, gaming, food, and photography, though I don't do enough of it.
This is not an exhaustive list. :)
Occupation: Freelance Anthro/Fantasy Artist -and- Front End Web Developer
In my free time i pretty much work. Lol. I usually work on artwork a lot during the day. Commission and personal. I also like playing video games, music, reading, watching movies, etc.
Hmm well for work I'm a full time Barista at Starbucks. It may be a job that a lot of you would probably call beneath you but it's good work. I have great benefits, and I get to socialize all day. Although it's just work untill I find something I want to be a career.
In my spare time I'm a very laid back (lazy) person. I usually play games, watch videos, surf the net, play with my dogs. I really like the outdoors so I like to take the pooches out. I'm adventurous and open minded, so I'm willing to do just about anything I'm physically capable of doing. I usually need someone else to organize things though because I'm not a very driven person, so there's lots of things I would do but haven't bothered. I usually hang out alone or with Kohl, but I'm always looking for people to be friends with. I'm a really tactile (overly affectionate) person and I love to cuddle with people. If given half the chance I will curl right up and snuggle/scritch all night.
But I think overall what I do is exist. I live my life from one moment to the next. Trying to find happiness and purpose in life.

...It may be a job that a lot of you would probably call beneath you but it's good work...
I've spent a combined six years working in coffeehouses, some full time, some part time. You're absolutely right, it's awesome work. Hard to make a career out of, but definitely has its own rewards. ^^
i work in a body shop mostly just sanding panles, in my free time im playig game paintballing or trying to get my smithy going (one day)
I'm a production machine-operator/shift leader at a factory that produces waterproofing membranes (roofing material) out of asphalt. I do a whole bunch of shit, from calculating blends of asphalt:rubber:calcium-carbonate, to performing regular maintenance on the various machine sections and ensuring the product we make follows the specifications of the manufacturing order.
I've just received my Occupational First Aid Level 2 certification, so I'm an active first-aid attendant at my job, which is kinda cool. I have a lot of responsibility at my job, so it can be really stressful as well as rewarding.
And I'm STILL working on my 4th class power engineering course, to be able to work on steam-boilers and refrigeration. Dunno when that's gonna get done though... hopefully sometime soon.

doing that must be very rewarding and in a sense - fun.
granted everyone, and i mean everyone depends on my job. i am a truck driver delivering all sorts of things to all sorts of places.
thank a trucker. if you have it, a truck brought it. and that includes the building you live in. i'll take the thanks with hugs.

Excellent stuff! Gonna get your 3 with all your transport endorsements, eventually? I hope they give you a premium on top of your wage for being an active attendant...

Indeed, sir, it is both. And hey, thanks a bunch to you and your co-workers. ^.^
I work at Subwaaaaaay! ... It's easy work. Like... the easiest... EVER!
Free time is spent usually with my mate, or drawing, sewing, or eating... I love food... good thing my mate's a chef!

I may, eventually. Work paid for my OFA L2 and L3 is pretty expensive. I was going to go try to be an on-call fire-fighter about this time next year, so there might be opportunities there. =)
This week I will be working on insulating an attic and I'm volunteering being a dog groomer, hopefully quite frequently.
I like dogs.
But I really like wolves and foxes.
I toats need to get first aid, my N, and a REaal job soon -.-, hopefully at seymour, or maybe i can go to whistler and be one of those workers who live there, but i'm pretty sure they only hire auzzies, I swear it's like every person has the accent. the only thing is I really don't want to work with clothes or food like all my high-school friends do. I could easily do something with phones,people,animals,computers,hands,outdoors.
After high school, which is approaching fast, I'll be looking for a place to live with Any of my friends.
IiIiIiIi
uUUu
Apart from being a student I sell shiny trinkets to people with wads of cash.
In my spare time I make things, any kind of things. I've made books, jewelry, planes, robots, bows; anything that you can make by hand with minimal tools, I'll take a crack at making come point in my life. Unfortunately between school, school work, and work I don't have much time anymore.
I go to Emily Carr University for Photography, and in my spare time I draw, write and work at a Photography Store/Studio.

Nice - what kind of photography do you do? I've taken a couple levels at Focal Point, though I'm terribly lazy about actually putting stuff up because I hate digital postprocessing.
i fix cars...to put it simply.
sometimes though, i feel like i need more computer/electronics training...
but, i guess i still enjoy it enough to want to work on my own car ^ ^ heh.
I cook fine dining, and put in 12 hour days feeding people far richer than me. And I love every minute of it. :)

Landscape mostly, a mix of film and digital (though mostly digital these days). In the studio I'm doing portraits.
Also forgot to mention that hobbies include bubble tea, snowboarding (my favorite sport ever), mountain biking, hiking, going for long aimless drives and some music stuff.

Hmm, nice stuff. I need to get out and do more of it, though that's probably not my major roadblock.
Student at UBC for First Nations Studies. Spare time includes: Co-writing a comic with professor whovianart, costume design/production, singing, randomly wandering around the city, playing with my cat.
Oh and matcha.
Work wise, as of now I'm dockworker loading and unloading containers. About seventy percent of the time the boxes weigh fifty pounds, and the rest can range from ten to a hundred. So far one the worst jobs we had to do was load two thousand boxes of shrimp that weigh twenty pounds into a forty foot container, and after we finished each pallet, we had to stop and put a sticker on each box.
Free time, I like to read, play video games, write and listen to music.
I'm a Network Support Engineer specializing in web application firewalls and security at a Seattle networking hardware company.
TL;DR: I help make the Internet go.
i fill my time with games and drawing and latenight t.v Comedy central. plan to be a games designer, but like dad says life'l get in the way of dreams so let see were i go.
"Modify"
also walking around and hanging around with the cows and enjoy the sun and listen to eather music or Rooster Teeth pod cast, that kills the hr's realy good.

Hmm, it looks like I forgot to mention that I'm also somewhat involved in the maintenance of a webcomic and the server it resides on.
Carry On - A webcomic about hyenas, really! (http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/) by Kathy Kellogg.
im into commercial fishing. i work on 2 boats, the one is my dads boat and we fish for prawns and on the other boat with my firends dad we fish for albacore tuna and halbuit in march which kinda sucks cause tuna and prawns are in the summery and nicer parts of the year which leaves me not workin when the weather aint so nice which makes for some shitty downhill skateboarding with the rains and all that, but i guess i could travel arounda bit too but that wont be happening this year because of how shitty everyone did this year

Pallets had 126 boxes on each? Did the labels say the shrimp came from plant #1933? That's where I'm currently working, and on Tuesday had to load a container with 900 50 lb. boxes of chum salmon. Only one box (right in the middle) was missing its label. I had a helper, so I didn't have to do all the work on my own.
I've now been officially welcomed on board the UBC Arts Internship Program, which means I'll have something to do starting spring 2013! ;D
