Job - Part time sales consultant at carphone warehouse
Happy? - Yeah I like it. I work between two branches and one branch in particular I much prefer, so once I graduate I'm trying to get some extra hours at that branch which will make me a lot happier. The work's good though, can be stressful and I've had days where all I've had is customers shout at me when it's nothing to do with me, just a matter of me being at the frontline so to speak. But otherwise it's good fun for the most part, get on with everyone at the two branches.
It's temporary as I'm leaving in September to start a Masters at Staffordshire Uni which is where my career plans kick in. Going to see if I can get a transfer to a branch there though.

Earnings are pretty decent for a part time retail job as it's commission based, so it does vary depending how good the day was, ranges usually from £7 an hour to £15 an hour.

What's your job?
Editor of a motoring news site/magazine and manage the blog that goes with it
Are you happy with your job, is it temporary, what job/career do you aim for?
Part of my job is to surf forums, read various websites, read car mags, write about fast, gorgeous cars - What do you think :p...yeah it's great. Am in the career i aimed for, may move away from cars into a different market in the future - do some sports and event writing too currently, though that's for a different company.
How much do you earn? (Personal)
Half what I did when I was an IT consultant - but I'm much happier!

What's your job? Company Director/IT Director

Are you happy with your job?? Yes pretty much, allows me to travel to some pretty nice places aroudn the world. Although its tiring and doesnt leave me much time for a social life.

Temporary?? At the moment it isnt but im looking to do my own thing, hopefully once my house gets sorted out and i can sell it, ill be looking at getting out of here asap and going back to Canada to start something over there.

How much do i earn?? Enough in fact more than enough:p. Too much money isnt a good thing but it helps make my life and my family's life a hell of a lot more comfortable.
