I'm at uni spending more time on what I enjoy doing and not enough on what I'm supposed to actually be doing.

Garage Mechanic (failed miserably and quit after 2 weeks)

Call Centre Op (For ITV Digital)

Bar staff (at a crappy holiday resort)

Rides assistant (at a theme park)

Radio Presenter (x3)

Radio Newsreader (x2)

This summer, I'll get a job in Cardiff as a call centre op again. I liked doing that, I used to enjoy using a different accent for each caller. Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Indian

I think you'd be a good Co-director!

I work as a web designer although the company itself are really a bunch of w@nkers who have no idea on how to run and build a web company.

What makes them wankers?

I always wanted to be a train driver too - how spooky!

But, I have been a factory assistant, hotel receptionist, subtitler @ good old Auntie Beeb and Channel TV, graphic designer, website designer (both at ITV), worked for a very dodgy shop in Nuneaton - now closed (I think) - but now I run my own computer and broadcast company. Oh happy days...

Oh, I also worked on the railways as a CIS/PIS programmer

Right now, I'm a freelance radio presenter at two commercial stations doing swing shifts when the jocks are ill/on hols. Alongside that I also am now manager of the uni's station.

Good job, very good pay and a good laugh. The work's also coming in thick and fast at the moment, which is fantastic as I'm not at uni at the mo and can therefore do pretty much anything going. I must be one of the few people on here that genuinely loves their job!

Can I be really cheeky and ask what wage per hour we are all on? It would be interesting to see what pays well and what doesn't.

James Martin · Sun 31 Jul, 2005 22.38

Not hourly, but £40-50 per gig.

Depends on what I do. Computer complete rebuild is about £119 a pop, hourly rate at only £39 and graphics etc for broadcast are anything from £90-£∞ depending on what it's for. Of course, I can quote for other work.
