Like Mod_Man, I also work at Gamestop. I work at the sister/rival/better store on the other side of the town we live in. It's pretty cool. The easiest retail job I've ever had. And I've had plenty of people coming in wanting to get rid of their retro stuff. Also has given me the idea of opening my own retro game store.

Hopefully I can move on though, got a few interviews coming up for a graphic designer position, event coordinator, and AV technician. Holding off on college at the moment to pay off some bills.
Boy I tell you what, are those some god dang video games?

Teaching English in Korea while studying Korean. I've lately started tracking down some Korean game stuff to hopefully resell at modest prices to those not in Korea.

Myself, I do manual labor for an evil corporation (think of the most evil company in America, and that's probably it). I make a very comfortable amount of money with no higher education. And I work 3 days a week. Boom goes the dynamite.
You work for Comcast too, eh?

Hmmm, just for future reference, do Racketeers get a discount if we need some catering? :wink:

Sure. If there is ever a RacketBoy Convention, I'll cater it at the cost of food.

In undergrad, I catered a lot. Sorority parties, school functions, every type of party you could imagine (within the realm of reason), catered for family dinners, date nights, you name it. Date nights are always fun. I'll wear my chefs jacket, and gives me the best opportunity to really "wow" a couple. That, plus I make at least a c-note an hour.

Now it's more of a hobby that can put some extra cash in my pocket. I still love cooking though, I've been cooking at least five dinners a week for over 17 years now, started when I was 13 (not by choice).

Consulting isn't as much fun, but definitely puts money in the bank.
