Denmark.. our government supports the people who study .. each month we are given a fixed amount of money to get by. Little do they know, however, that we use their money to go get drunk :rolleyes: :P

Im at uni studying business and company law, i make money on the side by a 3 night a week job taking bets as a runner at the dogs, which is average pay but amazing tips (literally doubles my pay)

I also earn some cash by occasionally helping out at my dads engineering firms on the drill bit grinding stuff.

And a final source of income is from general poker and buying and selling on ebay.

Im 18 and study English at university in Sweden.
I get my money from the state (like Malentor) and waste some of it on booze (like Malentor). :D I hope to one day have a job where I can wear a nice suit like Kwartz ;)

I\'m half way through 3rd year of a 4-year computer science degree, I\'m currently at the beginning of an 8 month term working for the provincial government as a \"Jr. Business Analyst\" ( <---- translation: forwards email to appropriate people, messes around with hideous MS Access apps, and reads PS forums & CVS repository)

I\'m a software developer in a small company that makes web-based content and category management platforms for large companies. IT budgets are still tight this year, so lets see for how many more months we can delay insolvency. ;)

Remark: Damn you, rich scandinavian scum! ;) I gotta pay my Lagers myself. *meh*
Remark2: Anyone offering a job in my region? PM me! :D
Remark3: Anyone speaking Dutch and willing to translate a platform or write a \"gebruikers handboek\"? PM me, too! :D

hehe, yes, scandinavia is a liberal paradise ;) But we pay for our social benefits with our wages later on, high tax rates aren\'t really all that fun :P

I work in the student life office at my college. We aren\'t that busy so for most of the day I post on these forums. It\'s the only thing that prevents me from dying of boredom.
Great hours though and I dont have to work Friday, saturday, or sunday.
I\'m also about to start a job a gamestop. I worked there last christmas and they are hiring again so I\'m a shoe-in (mainly cause the manager\'s lazy and would rather hire someone he\'s trained already he\'s really cool though)

Thats me.

I?m working temporarily as a Bookkeeper at an accounting firm. Trying to get into school to learn to be a Programmer. (Oh I hope, I hope, I hope!) But mostly I sit around writing the background stories and ideas for a RPG I?ve been working on for the last ten years.
Yep that?s me Ol? lazy cakes.

Man come to Australia, here everyone gets paid, even if you dont want a job, hell since I\'ve been unemployed and bumming around studying I\'ve bought myself a $1000 buck com PS2 GCN DC and a 52cm tv I share a house with my fiance thats 3 bedrooms, and all with no work no how, and if I wasnt studying, I\'d get the same money :) and I can be unemployed as long as I want :)

Australia rocks :)
