How Do You Earn Money?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

How Do You Earn Money?

Post by Bren »

Tell us what you do for a living. I am a front end cashier at Walmart. So, I get to ring up customers in their PJs and wonder why they do things like spin my bags while I am trying to load them. It's an adventure for sure.

I am a Linux systems engineer. I keep servers (application and web servers, mostly) running for my employer, so web sites and web applications stay running.

I work part time for my brother doing wood work. I still hope to eventually have my own business doing photography or selling knit & crochet items but while I'm still in school, this works out very well for me.

I used to have a baking business, but now I'm a stay at home mom of 4....so I save my husband thousands of dollars in childcare instead. \:D/ He is an accountant for a software company.

I'm an employee of my local public library. It's a small town library so we don't have specific "departments" aside from adult, teen and children's. My two primary responsibilities are cataloging new materials and handling intake and fulfillment of interlibrary loan requests, but I also do things like handle circulation and reference questions, shelving materials, and other duties as assigned.

OOooo woodwork. Do you like it? what kind of woodworking do you do? Also (after seeing some of your photos) I think you have great potential for being a family/lifestyle photographer! \:D/ Just keep learning and practicing and you will continue to level up. :yes: Do you have any experience with Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom?

I do like it! Work environment is great, which is awesome. Who can roast and tease their own boss and get away with it? \:D/ :lol: At the moment I turn needle felting tools on the lathe and finish those completely. I've also started to take care of orders and shipping. Aw, thank you, snubs!! =) I have a little experience with each of those; more with Photoshop then Lightroom though. At the moment I'm trying to learn how to edit my raw files, how to create my own presets, and some other little things with editing newborn photo's.

I manage a retail pharmacy outlet for a big chain in the city limits of Minneapolis. Been an interesting ride the last few years. As a part of the job I'm licensed as a pharmacy technician in Minnesota and hold the national PTCB certification with lots of experience running pharmacy operations in addition to retail operations.

I'm also an accomplished brass musician and have made some money off that, but not nearly as much as I've spent on that hobby.

Can you give us a missile or something? It doesn't even have to be a good one.

I'm a ransomware developer for a Russian oligarch, working with big US businesses like Solarwinds and Nvidia to sell their own data back to them for bitcoins! \:D/
So you lost your trust,
And you never should have.
No, you never should have.
But don't break your back
If you ever see this,
But don't answer that.

With the windows all closed,
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon.

I mean, I guess what we're plotting could technically be considered giving you a missile... :-
