Enjoyment: Yeah I like it, I cant think of anything else I'd rather do. (Not so keen on the Degree though)
Aims: Keep learning about the Oracle and SQL Server Databases, Learn about Sybase and MySQL, Seek new employment. Complete Degree.
Salary: Just enough to get me by, not as much as my colleagues. Hopefully that will change

Job(s) - Part-time CAD teacher, part-time CAD/CAM engineer.
Pay - Not enough for the hassle.
Job satisfaction - Ask me again on a day when people aren't being complete MORONS.
*Ahem* Sorry 'bout that.....think I may be letting the frustration get to me a little bit. Time to go vent my anger on anything that will stand still long enough.

Finance Officer for Bradford Council
Do i enjoy it? its alright i guess. office is too quiet, the few people closest to me are fine though. I do far too much considering the pittance i get paid to do it. Leaving in 4 weeks though!
Is the money good? it gets me by, but thats it, not really enough to be able to save or buy anything big, which is annoying.
aim? become a primary school teacher

Company Director, Insurance Brokers.
It's ok - some days it's boring, some days I've got something interesting to sink my teeth into. Yesterday I went to see a client in York. Easy meeting, had lunch, was back home for 4pm.
Money is pretty good - this month I'll take home £3000 after tax which is a bit more than usual cos of a bonus although by the time the bills are paid I bet i'll be down to my last £20 as usual. More you earn more you spend.
House, car and daughter = salary vapourised.

Unemployed / (soon to be) student / looking for part time in a shop or something
No, not happy, yes its a temporary situation, things can only get better, I've got college sorted out for september, now I know whats happening I'm looking for part time in a shop or something
Well I'm going to college to train as an electrician, my long term goal is to set up my own business doing domestic and commerical electricial contracting, possibly with alarm installation and data cabling as well, but thats quite a way off yet
Nothing at the moment (Unless you count JSA
), will be minimum wage when I get the part time job, and long term, well at the moment a self employed electrician generally makes somewhere between £14 and £22 an hour

Job - self employed web/software developer.
Money - Depends on the day, anywhere between £0 and £700ish a day depending what im doing and whether im working on multiple projects at once, probably averages out over the days I do work at around £150-250 a day.
Aim - Build a company up, doing the same sort of things probably. Maybe offering a product rather than a service though.
Happy? - Depends on the day really. I do tend to slack off quite a bit though, so suppose I like having the freedom not to work if I don't want to.

Hate my job with a passion - hopefully I'll find something of interest shortly and change direction.
Approaching 20k - definately not enough.

What's your job? - Air Traffic Controller (London TMA)
Are you happy with your job? - I absolutely love it, the job satisfaction is hard to beat. It does get very intense at times but it's all part of it. I go home form work feeling like I've made a difference which is cool.
How much do you earn? (Personal) - I don't mind telling because it goes up soon but it currently stands at £30k which I'm very happy with at my age.
