    Currently offering math/physics lessons to fellow students, almost finished uni, when I'm done with my degree I'll look for a regular job.

    I was thinking about this tbh but chose to get into theoretical physics instead, might give nano or solid state physics a shot after I get my degree and learn better english, I find them really interesting and they offer more choices in the future.

    The thing with nano technology is the job is in so much demand you don't even need a real high education for it. I mean you still have some difficult courses, but I read some people are just getting qualified for nano technology without bachelors degree and still getting high paying jobs. Look into it man. Check this video out, it's some amazing advanced technology Power of Nanotechnology Video #Blow Mind:

    Nah, I did/do psychology just because I was interested, and I have to say it's great. But it's always an advantage if you have to work with people a lot so it's usefull at the police as well .

    Essentially buying of materials etc., but we also look after the vehicle fleet & General maintenance of our offices. I'm in charge of a team of three awesome people (which helps LOL). It's cool. I've worked my way to team leader in less than two years. On a decent salary. Planning on enrolling on a management course next year sometime.

    I am a videographer. Shooting TV programs, commercials and so on. I mostly work as a freelancer. I am a student still, so I have time only for two or three projects a month.

    Im currently a student, but im sound engineer apprentice, i practically live in the studio as i work nearly everyday there.
    I also get hired by different companies,bands, charities etc to help them set up for big events & gigs, i take care of the sound & lighting. The best thing about working as a sound engineer for events & gigs is the fact that the people who hire me to do the work recommend me to other people & i get tons more work, which means tons more money.
    I plan to start my own company soon, to give artist's the push they need, from production, to getting them radio play, radio & internet commercials, music videos & physical & digital releases of their music & within all of that, i plan to start a shop, to sell instruments,CDs, instructional & tip books & other merchandise for artists & music lovers, & any artist who wants their album to be specially promoted in the shop will simply provide me with a cut of their profits, i will do an ''album of the week'' promotion, with posters, videos & everything possible to get people interested to listen.
