AMV Making is a Hobby so What is Your Occupation?

I liked editing so much, I decided that's what I wanted to be when I grew up.

.....granted I was already grown up, but couldn't picture myself settling on being an accountant or finishing my science degree. So discovering I liked editing a whole lot helped make my career decision easier. Now they pay me to do what I love

So you're a movie editor?[/quote]
I do freelance work as well, but it's been surprisingly steady. My current projects are all stuff I can do from home, easy cuts, and it lasts until October. So I pick up my stuff Friday or Mondays, work for three or four days (usually 40 hrs), drop it off and collect my pay. Good gig, good pay, and a great reference when I'm done

Freelance video/film editor. Hopefully I'll be doing more than that.

What is it you want to be doing? Directing? Or Post production stuff?

Something like that.

[DriftRoot]

Graphic designer....not a great one, mind you, but on the other hand I am gainfully employed, so I guess that counts for something.

I'm a stay-at-home-mom. They tell me that's the most rewarding job there is. They Lie a lot though. Sometimes, I work part-time at a law office though. Criminals are fun XD!

[Beowulf]

I edit movies for money

[RolltheStampede]

I am an Engineer working with jet engines.
an exciting cubicle job.

I play music for weddings, parties, and the occasional church service.

Pay's decent per gig. But they're so few and far between it's really more of an occasional splattering of pocket cash than an actual job.

I am not very stable on the job market. Never was.
As far as I can remember to 2006ish, I did randomass minimum wage stuff.
Pet hotel person, cashier, other boring dull things.
late 2007 to early-mid 2008 I was part time student, part time cashier, freelance editor as well as took random gigs as a PA.
My major was digital video production, when I edited it was commercial PSAs, small documentaries, boring shit. xD But I never wanted to do full-length features anyway.
I also pulled in some money for script writing and .... basically doing other students' projects for them. *cough*

mid 2008 onward I was mostly unemployed after I graduated college, as I couldn't afford to live in Florida. Then of course the economy bombed. Did a small stint as an inventory associate (You count shit for several hours in the day. Uuuugh) back in Georgia.

2009 I worked at wolf camera for a bit as their video expert. Also helped with their photo shit, but they needed someone who specialized in their video stuff as that location was getting more and more video cameras. Then after that I was a minimum wage cashier again.

But in two weeks I'll be entering the US Navy as an E-3.
So that'll be a nice payraise.

Hopefully I can manage to not fuck myself over with that, and stay in for at least my contracted 6 years. Dx
I'll be doing Avionics but I'm hoping to maybe eventually transfer to their art/news/media sector.

[BasharOfTheAges]

Software Engineer. That's about all I can say about it.
