I work for a marketing company called Positive Impact Partners, LLC. It's basically sports/entertainment marketing, and we sell tickets to events as well. Our biggest clients are AVP Volleyball, Seton Hall Basketball, and Army Football.

What I do there is basically take care of the computers, since I'm quite knowledgeable in that field, design flyers, logos, and catch phrases, I work Seton Hall Games that are involved with http://www.sportsjuice.com, as well as promotions for all home games and events for the organizations. I'm in the process of building a recording studio in the office in order to do voice overs for commercials and television.

I'm in college majoring in Broadcasting. I should have my A.S. Degree in May. I'll be transferring then to a University (undecided) where I will pursue a B.S. degree in Broadcasting, minoring in Journalism. Current GPA is 4.0.

But my boss knows I'm good with cars so hes straight letting me work full time valet. I've made some good relationships with a lot of the members.

Congrates big guy and there are plenty of people on here that will give you an E Hug when you start to beat your head against the wall in total frustration and want to strangle everyone under you.

Thanks! My guess is that people will read about me as the latest wunderkind or the next "postal" worker...

I'm a Mazda tech for now and work on motorcycles at home.

What's your plan for after "now"?

just picked up another job, bar tending for all of the concerts and events this summer at the local concert center

Are you 21? if not, How are you able to to bartend?

I work as a Program/Unit Assistant for a Detox center. I mostly do all the administrative work for the facility. Like the billing, set up monitoring accounts, verify the clients financial information is correct, and make sure the clients have been discharged and and billed correctly. A pretty good job but Mondays are stressful because of the amount of clients that come in over the weekend.

Dave, even if this is not your dream job, you are learning solid, applicable skills that will translate into future careers...

This is my favorite kind of story. I have always been a "start at the bottom and work your way up" kind of person, constantly learning and expanding your knowledge and skills. Keep up the great work!

Honestly this job is perfect for me right now. I'm getting plenty of hours and the job is not one where I'm taking my work home. Once my day is done I'm out, if anything is pending I will get to it tomorrow. It's also good because I'm still undecided as to whether or not I want to pursue the administrative side or the clinical side of drug and alcohol addictions. Plus there is always opportunities to move up in positions which is something not every job has.

I'm still studying Accounting at University, but I have a job at an Accounting firm, but more specifically, in the area of Auditing. :)
