Take a breather

    Hey all, I posted this similar thread on the general business forum, but I was hoping to talk to others who don't really check that forum at all.

    I was hoping to share some thoughts, and maybe meet a few people along the way :)

    My first question is 'What do you do for a living'? Simple. Just answer this as honest as possible. I'm always curious to see what people actually do, whether it's only part-time work, or running several businesses... I always see posts, threads, about people buying/selling work, projects, gigs, etc. but I want to get away from that, rather I want to see WHO YOU ARE! After all, we are humans... not machines! :D

    I myself am an artist, psychology, philosopher, business/marketer, writer, and entrepreneur. I believe it's needed to learn about other's, and just learn new things and experience as much in life! :)

    So, if you could share with me (or us) what you do for a living, then I really look forward to reading your replies. Thanks!!

    Good question, but I think you will find that many, many people here work online - buying/selling work, projects, gigs, etc. :p

    For a living? I'm a student studying web design & development, I intend to do this for a living, it's what I enjoy. I'd like to start my own small business around it sometime after I finish university, probably work for an existing company for a few years or so, get experience, a decent sized portfolio and possibly build up a client base. Thats the plan, I wonder how it's going to turn out.

    But if you really want to know me...I doubt it could even be put into words. Actually, I doubt many people will ever really know me, even those who have "known" me for years.

    Thanks for the offer :)
    But the first step is getting through another 2 years of university :)

    That kittens called Simba :D, I have 2 kittens and 1 fat cat (well, my parents do really...). I like cats...
    Anyway, don't think this should turn into a thread about cats, that'd be a bit too off topic.

    Thats like asking why there is shooting in the olympics, it's one of those things no one really knows...
    I guess it's an attempt at the Olympics not being all about athletic abillity or something :rolleyes: I don't know.

    @EvcRo: Verycool, any websites you find interesting lately?
    @king: This is the kind of reply I wanted to see... not saying that I want people to give me their life-story, but I think it's good to see that people on DP are human after all :) Only problem is that I'd hate to see what you do to the comp when it lags on you XD
