What's your normal (day) job?

    For many of us, our lifelong goal is being able to make a living solely off the internet, whether it be through ad revenues or affiliate programs. Do we want to flash a check from Adsense that can rival the amounts Shoemoney makes? Hell yeah! However, most of us aren't quite there...yet. :D

    So, what's your regular 9-5 job?

    I'm a network administrator's assistant for a privately held company in the Bay Area, California. I actually like the company I'm working for -- cool people, great boss, work isn't mind numbing, etc. My only complaints would be the length of time it takes me to commute (literally 2 hours one way...ouch), and not to mention the cost (around $11 a day now).

    I'm starting up online to supplement my current income, but I have no plans of abandoning my dayjob for a few years, lol.

    Any interesting jobs? Male exotic dancers, bodyguard for a celebrity, etc? :D

    Does investing in Forex count as a "normal day job" ? :)
