What job do you work at other than create comics?

[feuersichel]

I'm 100% employeed in a small company that does their business with farming and gardening stuff in switzerland (also we have some gasstations and a store for consumables). Because we aren't so big I do pretty much everything. It reaches from filling up products to sell gasoline, from working as cashier to system admin and I also help customers with problems and try to organice stuff for them. So it's never boring and I earn decent money but it's also very exhausting and it doesn't leave me much time to do my comic.

I work at a small, 5-person Architecture firm :] So... I draw buildings all day and comics all night, or something like that.

I'm a production manager at a small business-to-business publishers. We do magazines for people working in transportation infrastructure, civil engineering, steel construction, maintenance and law. Essentially, I'm the guy that takes the words and photos, lays them out and turns them into something that looks good enough to read. Then I make sure they go to the printers and then get sent out to our subscribers. Of course, what started off as a print only job has now spread onto the web so I've had to learn web design, and everything that goes with that. To see a digimag of what I do visit http://www.newsteelconstruction.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/digi/NSC1803/index (requires Flash). Sometimes I have time off and draw cartoons.

Art teacher! Kindergarten through 8th grade, to be exact. It great work, though it took me time to get over my introversion, which is simply impossible for an elementary school teacher.

wow that sounds awesome! how did you get into that line of work?

[caelenmustang]

I work for an escape room company in my city! It's loads of fun. Plus on our slow days, we get to do ... well, pretty much whatever. Means I get to edit, edit, edit away... which has hurt my productivity A LOT.

I did also finally get a webcomic off the ground with a friend of mine on Tumblr, so that's also something I do other than write my serial.

I work for a little league sports apparel company. Teams submit their logos and I help make sure they work for printing and embroidery.

A friend of mine from college had been working there for a very long time and I never even knew it. There's no turnover to speak of so when someone did finally quit in order to move to another state, she recommended me for the job. I grilled her about everything they did and had to know and then made an entire portfolio tailored to the exact job. My friend also secretly brought her boss to look at my work in an art show, so he could see me "in the wild." Thank God, I was nice to him and spoke freely and confidently about what I do, without knowing it was a test. Realistically I probably prepped a good month or so for my interview, going so far as to teach myself a couple of new techniques, and so on. They later said they picked me because my portfolio exactly fit the work they needed me to do.

Now, you won't always be lucky enough to know someone on the inside and grill them about EXACTLY what the job entails and have them vouch for your character, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to learn everything you can about the job first and completely tailor your resume/portfolio/etc to that company if it's a really specialized job like that where a bunch of people are trying for it. I don't think most jobs are worth that level of effort to try and attain, but this one was.

I am a retail sales associate at Bed Bath/Beyond. I used to work full time, but I told my store manage I had to go because I wanted to do something else with my time (my comic, finally) and was about to quit. But since I like the job so much and do such a good job, my store manager said she would like if I stayed and let me just work on the weekends. So yeah, every Saturday and Sunday. I really enjoy it for the most part. Made a lot of new, cool ass friends.

[ScribbleJay]

I work for a local non-profit that helps street involved youth. My organization runs a lot of shelters, work programs, and mentorship programs for these youth, many of whom are homeless, in the foster care system, and/or suffering from mental health or addictions issues.
Me? Among other things, I face paint children to raise funds! I get invited to all the best parties.

[TheRabbit]

I used to work in a store, but that was only for a short time (three months). Now I'm looking for a new job.

[philipmorgann]

I work as a dealer on Slotozilla and I really like my job because I can work mostly online and play such games. For me it's just a small hobby. I got an interest in it during my teenage years too, firstly it was just a love for playing cards and later through years I discovered for myself other types of it. Now it's a small hobby for me, another way to get some relax after work in the evening or during weekends but I've never been a heavy player. It's really interesting and risky to play in such games, they bring people a rather special types of emotions, that's why I think so many people become addict to them but personally I always know my limits.

[susurro]

I'm Pharmaceutical chemist
Sometimes people are surprised when they know my profession. Is it really strange that a pharmacist likes comics?

[HollowEve]

I'm going into college for the forth time now (still no degree) for Game Development. Hoping this one will stick.

[marygoodmann]

I am a writer for the gaming websites. And I really enjoy my work. All the time I find much interesting and new information. For example once I wrote an article for Online Slot Reviews and now I know more about slots and casinos.

[timhart]

I have worked as a System Admin for New Horizons for 30 years. Old man on the block. We work with children from hard places. Foster care, adoption, residential treatment. http://www.newhorizonsinc.com/

[FedoraSpooky]

Currently self-employed/looking for work, but a short while ago before roll-offs I was a Jr 2D animator at Laika and did some contract work for Studio Titmouse earlier this year.

Wish animation work could be a bit more on the stable side, but it is what it is. x_x

I'm currently in college majoring in Electrical Engineering (It was going to be a minor in Computer Science, but the ship sunk horrible XD). For the summer, I usually take an extra core class so that I can get more credits when school comes back. But for this summer, I've been interning with ComED in the Capacity Planning section.

I use their intranet-connected software to review existing powerline designs, double-check the connections between substations and feeders, and provide feedback on whether or not a customer can be connected to the electricity area they'd like to be a part of. The work's pretty chill and the pay is good, so I'm planning on coming back again, maybe even start my career there!

[Seokthih]

Well, first, I'm a student getting Master's degree in Management and Economy. Second, I recently started working as a game designer.

[NDmangaka]
