What's wrong with being 26 and thinking of teh pussy?

As for me, I work at Blue Cross/Blue Shield as a temp 5-11 weekdays. When I go back to school Monday, I'll also be a lab monitor, so I'll be getting paid $8 an hour to sit in the computer lab and do my homework.

I'll be graduating with a degree in Print Journalism with a minor in Film Studies next month. At my school I work in the Media Services Department. Basically when Professors have problems in the high-tech classrooms I have to go show them how to use a document camera and stuff like that.

I also occasionally work at a golf shop that my dad owns. Been doing that for about 8 years when I'm not doing anything else.

Since I'm graduating I'm looking for a full time job at a newspaper, magazine or something. I'd rather write a novel than a news story, but I figure I gotta start somewhere.

I got my education by going to a year long broadcasting trade school course instead of going for the full college degree. I eventually got my first job in Lansing, Michigan at a NBC affiliate working as a Production Assistant for about $8 an hour wich mostly consisted of ripping news scripts for the anchors, running the teleprompter, and sometimes running studio cameras. My job was working on the morning news so I had to be there at 4am. After a few months a position openned up in their Master Control room. I applied for it and got it along with a raise and moved up to $10 per hour.

Running a station Master Control just consists of getting all commercials and programming on the air and recording shows off of satellite feeds. Also you have to copy commercials from master tapes into whatever playback system the station uses.

Anyway after a year I left and got a Master Control job for a little more money at the FOX station and I've been working here now for about 5 years. Before television I didn't really have many jobs that are worth mentioning. Just random labor like janitorial or retail jobs just to make some money.

On the weekdays, I work at Palomar Technologies Inc doing simple computer and networking stuff. Its boring and I'm the youngest person there by 10 years, but I have my own cubicle of solitude and work any hours I please.

On the weekends, I work at Applebees as a 'food expedieter.' You see all the sauces and garnishing on your plate? I put that stuff there. Very fast paced and the pay sucks, but there are many pretty ladies there.

I'll be finishing up my second year at community college in a month as a design major. I only have about 2/3rds the credits I should, and not a lot of them are transferable to a major school. I'm kind of freaking out because I don't know what I want to do with my life, and the path that I have sort of chosen I'm not too sure I'm any good at. And the others paths that I've considered hold the same. I thought the college years were supposed to be the best years of my life? I call bullshit.

MarkRyan, how is the pay at IGN? Because Brisbane aint cheap.

I can see why some people think that, but I also think the post-graduation years, when you are on your own, making your own money, paying your own way, setting up a good life, etc., can be better.

There is a really easy way to improve your life. Get out of that CC you are in.

I worked in the Macy's jewelry dept. for awhile, it was actually really cool there. However, after awhile they wanted me to do inventory, and that conflicted with my school schedule so i had to quit. I'm looking for something else right now...just something to pass the time over summer.

I just got offered a comission job today, to basically be a seamstress. Unfortunately, the woman wanted some eveningwear done for her and her family- and I'm not too experienced with jackets and pantsuits yet, so I think I'm going to have to decline for now, which sorta sucks.

26 isn't even old, man. You better hope you'll be thinking about the bone at 26.
