    Hey folks,

    I'm taking a year out of college at the moment and after having done all the saving I need to do in order to travel this summer, I'm now looking for a less boring job :) I was working in a hospital doing office work like filing and sh*t like that. The pay was decent enough, but I'm now looking for something more interesting than that!

    For example! I saw an ad looking for someone to play computer games and provide support for other online players :D It's located in Swords though, so I won't be going for that (and I doubt the job is as much fun as it sounds, anyway).
    I'd consider that interesting enough! Also stuff like Paintball Marshall (for those who play paintball), but the nearest site to me is in Wicklow, so that's out the window.

    I'm located in Tallaght, but am willing to travel a reasonable amount if the job is sufficiently awesome! :D I can only use public transport unfortunately.

    So have any of ye encountered any interesting ads? Or maybe just suggest unusual places to give a CV in to?

    Thanks chaps!

    you say you live in tallaght but are willing to travel a reasonable distance yet you rule out the paintball marshall thing cos its in wicklow?

    would take you half an hour to get to wicklow

    In fairness to the OP, he says he is relying on public transport. Tallaght to Wicklow (Town?) may not be that easy and hardly possible in 30 minutes.

    Damn, beaten to it. Was going to suggest that.

    OP, are you far from Croke Park? I ask, as you can be a stewards at the match. Pay is meant to be decent, and you'll get to see the match (bar the 1st and last 15 minutes). A few frinds did jobs there, and they thought it was handy enough.
