I'm a newspaper distributor, or paperboy for short. It's like this...

140 kilometers of gravel road
1 Toyota Yaris
700+ newspapers
A crazy guy who spend his free time driving race sims

Result is a lot of frustrated subscibers wondering when and where that damned fool will wreck the car, and why the hell does he have to drive like that :)

At least they get theit papers quickly ;)

I study "journalism and organisational communication" and am in the middle of an internship right now: I am working in the marketing communications departement of austriamicrosystems, deep in semi conductor business.

In my spare time, I have been known to tinker with vehicle physics spreadsheets, although these days I spend most of my free time either playing with my two young kids, or doing SERIOUS diy (building an extension by myself).

I work for an automotive parts supplier manufacturing energy absorbers, door panels, headliners, trunk liners, and soon to be seating. We supply the energy absorbers (the "bumper" underneath the front/rear plastic facia) and interior parts for I think 80% of the automotive market. If you drive a Cheverolet, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Mazda, Mercedes, BMW, Subaru, VW, or Lexus, it is a very good chance you have our product somewhere in your vehicle. My roll, I work in the R&D Engineering department where we are coming up with new products and materials for automotive and motorcycle seating, wood floor underlayment, artificial turf underlayment for sports fields and others. We are developing a product for energy absorption for bicycle, motorcycle, and military helmets. It is quite interesting, as I started there when it was an empty facility and watched it grow from nothing to expanding to additional warehouse space, new facilities in California, Detroit, two in Tennessee, Mexico, France, Germany, and China in the last 10 years.

I just opened a pack of pepsi (it's early), and one of the cans landed on my toe. Does that mean YOU owe me money? :D

Currently no job, flunked my GCSE's and jobs in this town go so bloomin fast. Quite a shame as I was expected A*'s.

It's all good though, currently studying for HP IT Essentials (basically an A+) and CCNA 1 + 2. If all goes well I should have those soon enough and start looking for something better than stuffing envelopes.

Hmm, isnt there a way for you to get the license via a company? Get a job at the company and tell them you're an experienced forklifter, they can pay the license for ya. That's how alot of my mates got theirs over here in Holland.

I was a music student.... but the whole lack of money thing and the fact that the teachers had to ask ME how to do things half the time made me quit. I'm now a part time postman to earn money for recording equipment/bits and pieces for instruments. Hopefully I'll be a session drummer in a few years... just need to brush up on my theory a little and get my grade 8 so I have formal proof of my abilities.

You never told me to. As you don't have a safe-pepsi-can-opening method posted and visible in my room, I think I will win. Hmmmmm, how much to ask for? £40k? £60k? Maybe a nice round £100k (where k = 000 just for clarities sake, so £100k = £100,000. I should have just written the numbers first time round really).
