I work from home an get paid an obscene amount of money.

How good is my job?

I don't drive to work.... EVER!!

Gas prices can be 10 bucks a gallon and I can still afford a HUMMER. Not the pathetic H2 or H3, but the real, I can run down your Prius H1 ;)

I have never EVER seen my boss' face. (though he seems like a nice guy)

My cable internet is FREE!!!!

My cell phone line is FREE!!!!

I've got this neat little toy called a Dell. I can get email on it but I do all my real work on a Mac.

I'm about to have my wife quit her job and be a house wife. The good news is that we're now going to adopt! The bad news is, its not you ;)

To keep me from spending to much money, my wife put me on a weekly allowance. However it is still more than a burgerflipper makes in a month.

I get the GM Employee pricing on all my new cars!

I now have all the time in the world to get into shape and become the Adonis that my wife truly desires. But instead, I'm reading Megatokyo.

So, how is your job?

Wow, your original post made me/my job seem like it's dirt to yours.

I work at Tim Horton's (it's Canadian, although some are in the border-states).

It's your basic "grab'n'go" coffee shop. I serve coffee and donus and muffins and bagels, and the like.. I hate it. The pay is crap, the job is crap. People are ignorant and don't understand how hard of a job it actually is.

on the bright side, I might be getting a promotion to supervisor, keyword being might..

Bah, I'd rather do the tech support for Road Runner for $12/hr than this crap.

I work from home too. I do contract web development/design work. It has it's perks and not many negatives at this point. I can pretty much work from anywhere that has an internet connection. I love it and make enough where I can live happily. ;)

Before retiring from Disney I think I had a fantastic job - I drove boats bringing people from their hotels and the parking lot to the Magic Kingdom. I went to work to play - not work. Free admission to Disney, discounts, etc., etc. I still get the free admission and discounts, etc.

You still didn't tell us what your job was.

I'm a Virtualization Consultant. I basically show companies how to turn Large Datacenters into much smaller datacenters that use a ton less power and cooling. They also take up a lot less floor space.

Virtualization saves companies millions in those costs. IMO companies are just now starting to "get it" and there are relatively few certified and experienced people in my field.

Seeing as I am 14 no job for me yet, but my brother has a job as a valet parker. Lucky for him both him and his best friend got jobs there. He makes about 7 an hour, but with tips its about 12 an hour. You also get to drive some cool cars! That sounds to me like an awesome job for a 18 year old!
