As for me, I left school at 17 (yeah back in the stone age, that's right...) and went straight into my first job, a shipping/freight forwarding company, with whom I remained for almost 30 years (29) before taking voluntary redundancy in 2009 to look after my sister. I'm now her fulltime carer for the last five years.

It's not as glamorous as it sounds...

I co-manage and operate a cafe... I'm underpaid, under appreciated, under utilized, and often times over-burdened since my boss prefers to keep a short staff and doesn't usually wanna come in. But, I get to make good food and have more creative freedoms than I would if I started a new gig elsewhere. Covers the bills and I still have pocket money to catch a show or party once in a while so I can't complain.

Currently unemployed and a full time high school student, hoping to one day go to college for music production and engineering. Or make it on my own which is much much harder, but may be more rewarding to myself in the long run.

I teach English at a Japanese university, write erotic romance novels with a Canadian publisher, and dress up as a fake priest and perform fake "Christian" weddings on the weekends in Tokyo.

I get paid handsomely for all three jobs.

What's the story behind travelling to Japan to teach English? I've heard of a lot of people doing that, was it just jumping at an opportunity for adventure or was it something you had planned on doing for a while?

I'm on the hunt for a job, I have an interview on Monday for a Blackboard (site students use to upload assignments, register for classes, etc.) technician. Hopefully that goes well.

Interesting. My school uses blackboard.

Currently im in the last year of for my supply chain management degree. Probably going to try and find a job doing bids and contracts, as I used to work in that field and enjoyed it quite a bit. Would also be interested in doing some sort of business analyst or statistics based job, but I really have no background in either haha. Either way itll be a boring desk job just how I like it.

I graduated university with a Bachelor's in English Lit, which meant I could do precisely dick with it. The girl I'd just married, though American, had grown up in Japan. She had connections and spoke the language, and hey, it was a chance to get out of the hellhole small town of cornfields I lived in (I'm sure many can relate to this!), so I took off with her for Tokyo. Been here 17 years. Damn.

It's a senior community we have enough complaints thank you. You're all so picky, and don't know how to read signs.
