Freelance Website Designer

Pros:

Work from home (e.g. I am my own boss).
Flexitime (I choose when I work).
Very good money.
Some clients pay so well, it works out about £50P/H.
If I don't feel like working...I won't.
Rewarding Job Satisfaction.

Clients can be very fussy/frustrating
Not always constant work - relying on clients to give me work.
Sometimes hard to get motivated.

Yeah, see, that'd be my problem.
Which is why I could probably never work for myself.
Maybe bosses are good things.

Money I ain't spending because I'm living at home, and Scottish university system is far superior to yours, in that we don't have to pay to study. ;)

Airport worker - I'm a baggage man, I work for Scandinavian Airlines on the ground, ground handling.

PROS

-good money, yesterday for 1,5 extra hour I got £75.
-hard work, that keeps me in shape.
-can eat when I want and we have a full gym, wich we're allowed to use during working hours, where once a week we have a physiotherapist to take a look at our muscles, every 3rd week it's a lady:D
-work shifts and I can change shifts and get free for many weeks. Like 2 months holiday a year.
-when it's quite we get to see some TV and watch dvds or just sleep.
-Only 18 km to drive, that's 12 minuts.
-good insurence, health care and retirement payout, I dont use my own money when I'm sick. Get it back from the state or from the Union Help Fond.
-work with great people and we have fun at work. we know what we have to do, so there's no director going around kicking our butts.
-get to work extra hours on specials days, working this sunday gives me an extra £25 an hour.
-and the best pro, I only pay 10% when flying and this is with almost all flying carriers in the world. Both ways on business class OSLO - NYC for £150!!!

There's not much negative to say:

-we could earn more, flying industry it's still recovering from 9/11
-stress and long days, 9 hours shift it's normal.
-muscles problems are usual and winter is long and cold.
-car parking costs £5 a month.

But the most important thing is to be healthy and have good friends,

Yeah, MJ's job sounds awesome.

Being someone who gets paid well to sit around and watch DVDs/play games most of the time, with the occasional work involved, is exactly what I aspire to be. :D

It's not too bad aye....right now I'm sitting watching TMNT..the 1990 version!!

Then I have the remainder of BSG Season 3 to watch after.

I will be busy on Tuesday though, everyone back in work after the long weekend and the website will get hammered by customers...just glad I'm on Late shift as the Early shift will get raped.
