What do you do?

Just thought it would be interesting to know what kind of jobs you all work at, and how long you been there? do you like it?

Me you ask? I'm a software engineer in a company in rathmines, and Ive been here 6 months, came straight in after college. Its not too bad, good company and all but can't see myself staying here forever. They took on 10 graduates from my class in DCU but I think it was too much for them. They seem to be finding it hard to give us all projects, which can be a plus sometimes because we get to work at our own pace, but one the other hand I find myself getting bored and spending too much time on the web.

anyway just throwing it out there...

Em you live at home, I have to pay a few grand for a few months on rent, buy food,books,drink,everything getting a grant of total 1,500. You are in a good place!

Hey, that's 1500 you get for free that I have to work for! Even if I live at home....although when I live in Galway already i would find it highly improbably I would move a few miles down the road and pay half my money every week for the pleasure!

Except all that unrestrained drinking, partying, sex and eh....reading?........the fabulous life you lead Mr Aldarion, you dashing pinnacle of college goers world wide!

I don't even go to college at the moment, getting too damn used to it too.....every evening free, every weekend free, no studying.....it's great. Kinda. :v:

So yeah, way to derail this topic eh lads?

Well, it's not like i see any of it, it just goes on rent

whereas your parent pay all your rent. (:
Ye it would be rather odd to do that but I would, well i wouldn't, no way was i staying in the home county for college, so much beautiful cities in ireland with plenty of rain to see. :P

it's like you know my life completely up to this point, heh.
Yes reading is good, makes me know things and not have to fail or study.

I don't even go to college at the moment, getting too damn used to it too.....every evening free, every weekend free, no studying.....it's great. Kinda. :v:

sounds like my evenings and study pattern, I mean, I'm the model student.
This week for example: monday; poker tournament and witless music shindig, today; juggling soc and cinema, wednesday; fan sci society, thursday; well duh, student night out, weekend; trip to dublin for a concert and booze.
I should fit my engineering degree in somewhere sigh.

So yeah, way to derail this topic eh lads?

yeah so who hates pants

Apparently i am a "consultant" for a dublin based IT firm.

In reality i'm a code monkey who has to bridge the gap between what the customer has payed for, and what they imagine this magical system is supposed to do.

Anyway, i'm applying for a postgrad in scotland, so this job is just to pay for that...

tman

helpdesk monkey for "the world's leading developer of enterprise applications serving the hospitality and specialty retail industries exclusively."

i've started looking elsewhere though

Ah look lads, don't bother trying to justify yourself to the people on these boards.

I didn't get a grant, and I lived at home, but I did work part time, pay my own fees, bought my own books and equipment and funded every other aspect of college life by myself.

However, it doesn't make me a hero and if I had qualified for a grant I would have happily accepted it and worked less hours.

I wouldn't have felt any guilt and I wouldn't have been bothered by begrudgers!

Whether you have received a grant or not, bottom line, you have pursued a 3rd level qualification and that is what is really important.

All I've heard in here is that nobody is happy working in IT?

Is it really that bad?

I was hoping to do the microsoft exams after I've qualified as an accountant.

Feckin muppets, with their 'oohhh we don't know if we can afford to keep this office open as a viable option'... bah :mad:

semi retired:D , im starting to feel like an ol fella here. spent 13 years working in the financial sector then went part time a few years back (went through alot of crap, personal, and decided to make a few changes. hence the part time status, took a bigpay cut but quality of life has improved immeasurably. look at it this way while most of you were working your ass off last monday i was in the cinema watching underworld:evolution)

to be honest though, and the reason im quoting connundrum, the muppets that took over havent a bloody clue what theyre doing. all diplomas and degrees and NO experience of my job and as such have run my sector, which was the primary earner and the core business of the company, into the ground. as its is the MAIN reason im staying now is by my reckoning my sector will be bust by mid 2007 in which case the company will have to fork out a cool 50k to get rid of me

not bad for sitting on your arse and watching DVDs under the desK all day cause theres no business (and seriously they closed TWO goldmines in leiu of the place im running now which earns NOTHING :rolleyes: but LOOKS good on paper:rolleyes: :rolleyes: )

after that i'll either retire compleatly or start my own business, to be honest probably the latter. i cant really sit around doing nothing , i'd go nuts:D

Working in the National Braille Production Centre converting school books to braille and large print, I don't actually know braille myself but just do the basic work. It's only a couple of days a week when I'm not in college, final year Software Engineering student. I would actually cosider learning Braille and staying on for a little while after I graduate though.

Working the past 4 years in one of the big multinationals in Leixlip, in my last year of a degree in IT in Kevin St DIT and i can safely say that the IT industry is not something i want to stay in at all...the company is probably the worst ive ever worked for with regard to pay, conditions etc. I dont feel secure in the job, never have and hoping to get out of it sometime this year. Ill be looking toward a smaller company that look after their staff in future, not sure in what sector, but thats my dream anyway!!

Quick update on that situ, we have been given a couple of options.. and I have been given the chance to 'semi-retire' like Constitutionus.. at the age of 22. WTF?! :v:

Just after finishing up a job in security, possibly the most soul destroying job in existence!! A lobotomy would really make it easier. How I spent 5 months doing it, I don't know! Paid the rent I suppose.
Off to do the Australia thing next month.
And then, I haven't a clue. I'll think of something.
