It's always exciting to say what I do.
I am a mechanical piping designer working on the Pentagon Renovation Project. I am the lead for the company I work for and it is still exciting to be working on and at the Pentagon.
Does it pay well? To me it does. Would I like more money? Who would not?

VP Sales, I also own a furniture installation business. I do well.
Pilot.
Does it pay well? Just enough to pay of the huge debts I have for training. By the time I get to keep some of it, I won't be able to enjoy it anymore!

There's going to be a lot of "your kind" these next few weeks. Good news is that jobs are coming slowly, but surely. The only downside is that pay isn't where it was prior to dot-bomb. So, good luck.
I work for a mutual fund consulting firm right now, but I will get my degree in Finance and my series 7 and 63 licenses in december '04. I'm making 'bout $15.00/hr. Anyone have a clue about how much I should realistically expect to rake in after I get my degree?

Web designer, Wireless Network Administrator, Computer Technician, ColdFusion Programmer, Database Programmer, and Student.
Does not pay well, but that is why I am working towards my bachelors. :)

Wireless Network Administrator and Database Programmer both are areas that still pay well. The jobs are expected to grow most in Security (which WNA falls under) and also within Application Development (software architecture, etc)
Now, if these are just hobby jobs where you are not fully qualified, that would explain why you are not making good money.
I'm mixed on ColdFusion. So, no comment.
Anyone can be a web designer, computer technician, and a student. :-)

Computer support technician. Pays OK. One funny problem I came across:
Woman called to say her computer wouldn't turn on. I did the usual stuff over the phone. (Is your monitor on? Did you plug it in?) Went out to her desk and checked her power cords. She had the computer plugged into a power strip and the power strip plugged into itself!
:duh:

Business owner. Ad agency/brand marketing firm.
My partner and I broke away from a big ad agency in 1996 at the request of our first client. Now when we work long hours, we keep the $$$$$! I'm a writer/producer by trade.
Money: For the record, the money is great, could be fantastic with a couple more larger clients.
Downside: long hours, intense stress--this is the most cut-throat biz outside of acting!

I work on campus at Western Michigan University at their computer store. I sell computers and software to the students and faculty members educationally. It pays good for a on campus job, but really that's not that great. Hours are very flexible though, so it works well since I'm still taking classes.

International marketing consultant and private investor – both pay great, but looking to retire from working all together in the next 2 years. Investing is where it is at.
P.S. - No I am not old, I just got into the right investments that a couple of my clients introduced me to. Pretty simple stuff.

I am a retired sailor. I retired in 2001, at 42 years old, after spending 20 years in the Navy. My first enlistment was in 1976, I did get out after six years, went to college and used up my GI bill. Then I went back into the Navy again and finished my career there.
As an enlisted Submarine Sailor my income peaked at around $65k/year. My 'peak' earning lasted for about 10 years. Early on they got me hooked on the 'Tax-free' thing, so I have not paid into Income taxation since 1983.
I collected apartment buildings on the side as a hobby during my career. Most places that I was stationed, we just collected another one.
So right now, really I guess I am un-employed.
45 years old and un-employed, but I have been offered jobs. For right now I am doing okay without a job, on my pension checks and rental income.
I started as a Computer-System-Analyst on Main-frame computers onboard subs. Then branched into Electronic Surveilance Systems. Then I slid into Intellignce Library Custodian. And onboard my last boat I was the Command Intelligence Officer.
Also with my degree in Theology, I functioned as Ship's Protestant Lay-Leader from 1987 on.
I also volunteered to be trained by the IRS to assist sailors with their taxes, I was certified by them, and I have assisted people with their taxes since 1988.
Also since 1990, each time we have been state-side we have been foster-parents, and we have kept our home filled with children.
:-)
Does any of that count as a job?

delivering pizzas while i figure out what to do with life...
pay- well... sometimes i wonder if i spend more trying to keep the ole vehicle running than i make, lol...
on a good day, it's $15/hr after taxes, -gas. then a lot of it goes into the car later on...
waiting for my girlfriend to get her own car so i can drive the suzuki swift..... at which point, profit will go way up because, the real trick to this job, is being a home mechanic, and driving something thet gets incredable gas milage, and has cheap parts... right now i'm driving an suv, 16mpg hurts.
