I worked retail for a year before coming to school.
My parents are paying tuition, and I'm living off what money I have saved for now.
I'm probably going to try to work wherever next semester.

I don't have a job yet, but I've sent CVs to a few shops over the road from me.
Hopefully I'll get to work at the pet shop, and I'll adopt all the poor hamsters/rats/rabbits etc.

Air Force. Radar technician. I sit in an office talking about sports and ufc until the missions are done. Then I proceed to open a small book, read it, turn switches and buttons and hope the pictures come out right. There's radiation, electricity, and fun stuff. Can't wait to get out.

Graduated in May (finally).

Now I'm taking a year or so off from school, working at Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue currently.

When I go back to school it will be for my master's degree in English at UMKC.

SCHOLARSHIPS FTW.
covers tuition to my absurdly expensive school, plus rent and food. i'm pretty thrifty, but super compfortable, and i've still got a grand in savings from last summer's job as an emergency stash. right now i'm taking a classload that i had to get special permission for and am barely scraping by.
after i get my useless but awesome Great Texts / Art degree, i'm getting certified as an interpretive guide.

I manage production at a brewery. basically I make sure the right people have the right stuff to put the right amount of the right beer in the right place at the right time. making beer was kinda more fun than managing it.

Indeed it is.
I assume you are talking about asana.
But there is a lot more to yoga than just the asana.

I work in retail. My job is basically to maintain inventory for the entire store (receiving, claims, random counts). Luckily, I don't deal with customers, mostly just sales reps, delivery people, and management. I deal with boring reports and pricing issues. It's not in my job description to train people, but I end up doing it anyway because it makes my job easier in the long run. (I should probably also note that the majority of the people I end up training are people in higher positions than mine and make twice what I do, and should know how to do the things I teach them already.)

Currently working on going back to school and looking for a new job not dealing with retail.

In the summer I work full time as a Kayaking instructor over on bainbridge island. The winter's are tough and so I just teach classes in the community pool when/if there are students. In the summers I teach the kids camps, winters usually elderly rich folk with nothing better to do.

I just moved to the city, have no job, no school, no money.
Time for a second job.

come to pittsburgh to take teaching courses with one of our studios here...
ok that'd maybe benefit me more than you as i'm sure there are schools there, but ... i want more local moc friends!
i know a bunch of instructors all great people..
yoga is the best ever.

i'm a sound engineer at a club, mixing bands,
and i also work for a family radio program/studio in the children's museum as the tech director.. so maintain the equipment in the plant, edit audio, teach audio workshops in schools, and so much more... it's full time and so much work sometimes but very fulfilling.
