You are probably considered a very normal person for your age group & gender I would suggest.

me too only I couldn't survive. I started up a small pc repairs and upgrades service. I would, whenever possible, do on site work. It grew rather quickly and sustained itself (and me) for a couple of years. But life stepped in and one thing led to another and it was no longer viable. Pity, because it was my dream to be my own boss doing something I love. Recently started a new job, which I could make a career and I'm passionate about what we do so I'm happy

I'm a interior re-modeler. i specialize in turning old junk in to useful items.
did you know that if you take the pumping ensemble out of a dishwasher and you turn it on to see if it will serve as a fountain pump you wash your ceilings? Great stuff.

I love my work

I'm a 'kept' woman


Seriously tho' ...
I've had my own business for many years as an Interior Designer and consultant.

One of those Complete Make Over gals.

Sorry about that Jacee but I love watching that show, I sit there in envy of some of the gorgeous houses they do.

Don't...

"Downsized" out, and apparently classified as 'unemployable', I guess...

That sounds just like what the Job Centre classed my husband as, too old, too qualified so we don't want you.

He's an accountant and turned 60 in January and where we live they're not interested in experience. :huh:

Recruiting paradox: companies are looking for young people under 30 with 20 years of experience, normally choosing a young one over a more experienced applicant.

That is so true even though they protest they aren't age discriminating they so are.
Trouble is those youngster only know it through books plus it means they don't have to pay them much. :huh:

:roflmao: at Joan. A young person who has actually opened, let alone read a book. The idea. You sweet naive person you.

Real life: they spend their time watching DragonballZ, messing about with their mobiles and copy their homework from wikipedia.

I have here a pile of of obligatory schoolbooks which have no creases in their backs at all.
He just (thanks to the lowering of educational standards because they adjust them each year to the common level) graduated electro technical something french.

I remember a year ago he came home with a BOOK he had to read for french language. Well he failed that test, he read exactly 2 paragraphs. TWO, as in 2.

I take offence to this!!
I am 16, Hate DBZ, only text and ring my girlfriend from my mobile and write 2000 word essays for my english literature class on Dylan Thomas's "Under MilkWood"

What you have there is a harsh steryotype of generation Y.
I enjoy making stuff in my spare time eg.. On the weekend just past i made a case for one of my USB drives out of Lego. Mighty Epic if you ask me.

Just my two cents worth.

Now where were we??

 

[Kari]

Please, FullyLoadedMan, please don't take this too seriously: I had to smile when I read first your post stating that you are 16, and then checking your screen name. Nice contrast!

Im not belittling your accomplishments, but when I was your age, I was doing latin to english translations ... one year later, and I had to translate Ciceros' orations against Catiline from greek to latin to english ... and in those days we didn't have leggos ... Lincoln Logs were the rage..

Dedecus in aevum quod in suus potissimus!
Shame on the age and on its principles!

Ciceros' first Oration against Catiline 258 BCE

Not happy with it and hoping to get back on the technical side shortly (with same employer)

I guess I am just an old man; retired 3 times over now. Life is great.

For work I spend all my spare time working with the MIAP (Missing In America Project). Our goal to to get every forgotten American Service Man/Woman's cremains off the shelves of cemetery's across the US and get interned at our National cemetery's.

Well, I suppose I could also be called a 'Decorator' too, because I did go into homes and re-arrange furniture, accessories, helped install custom made (as to my specifications) draperies ... I did a lot of detail work, as well as design.

My uncle on my mom's side was the President of the Interior Decorator's Association of Puerto Rico for many years - he was very good at it and also very, err, happy or something like that :shock: .

I play with Legos. ...

Who's Legos? Do they kick? Do they ever say "Leggo of my Lego"?

I'm newly liberated from work - I'm a free man (in every sense of the word) :sarc: ... but I've been a software developer / designer / architect since school days many, many years ago in a galaxy far away, first independently, then for a semiconductor & system manufacturer, then for many, many years in a Big (4?5?6?) Auditing Firm, then for several years for a Cable & Comm Corp, then 1 year for a sat & cable programming provider ...

Originally I was more into the hardware side .
