woywoy 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Just wondering what everyone does for a living? I am sure there will be a lot of english teachers, a few translators, probably a few bankers and a few snow-bums!? I know what I'd choose out of that list!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 You'd want to be a translator right woywoy? Lords of Creation they are. Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Ocean, I think being a snow-bum somewhere right up north in japan would be just a bit better than being a translator. But then again I'm not a translator so I don't know what it is like... so what does everyone do??? How do you make your dosh??? What keeps you busy mon-fri??? Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 From what I've heard so far, I think I would kill for Ocean 11's job. (and don't bother making me offers, I am totally unqualified) Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Snow bum (or is that just bum?). When I am working I do computer stuff...but it's not very fulfilling damnit. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Well Markie, there are some days when I could use the services of a hit-man. So you come over here, and I'll qualify you to do my job while in your free moments you take care of some of the folks on my list. Deal? (Technical translation is hard work mind. Killing people is much easier...) Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 You're on, Ocean. Send me your list! Killing is actually the easy part, not getting caught is much harder. Cleaning up the mess afterwards to avoid getting cursed by the cleaning-ladies is the hardest bit! Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I'm wondering, too. Are there any office worker? I hope there are some office workers who enjoy winter here. Link to post Share on other sites

slow 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Me, too mogski! I work for an architectural company (not designer but receptionist). Snow in the moutain and beautiful sunset on the beach are enough for my life. Having strong desire for a living is good! Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 My business card says Coordinator for International Relations but thats pretty airy fairy. I work for a "city" of 27,000 souls who see very very few foreigners so the work can be a blast sometimes and suck sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 So zwelgen... you are a CIR then? You certainly scored getting a place in Nagano-ken though. So what is it like being a CIR? I am contemplating my future after finally graduating from uni last year... havent got very far actually! ha Mogski... what do you do in the office? Apart from dream that you are skiing that is? Dont you do something similar to what Ocean does? I wonder what Markie actually does too... apart from try and chat up Japanese girls that is!!! Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Yep CIR and I cant believe I managed to get put where I am. I think the reference from a Japanese ski field made them think Id handle the snow here or something. When I got my placement letter I typed in "Iiyama" into a search engine to see what would come up etc and thats where I found this website ..."take the Iiyama line to Nozawa Onsen". What can I say, good days and bad days, definately more good, and the job can get you loads of cool stuff, like Im interpreting at the mogul world cup next month oh yeeah. But I think Im one of the luckier CIRs, small rural place means I have loads of freedom with the job. Others in bigger places arent so lucky I think. Blah blah blah, if you want more info send me a private message yeah. What are you studying? Link to post Share on other sites

I would sooner be in a shack on the slopes of a moutain that gets puked on through the night and fine for the day. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 according to the visa I am a "specialist in humanities/international services" outstanding.....wish my job was a glamorous as that sounds Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Kamoshika... what does that mean? Sounds like some sort of super brainy arts graduate's job! What do you actually do? Mogski... marketing ay. Do you have a job like a few mates of mine in tokyo where you spend more time chatting on the net than actually working??? I cant believe the amount of time these guys spend chatting and still get paid! Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I am paid to chat I am paid to research the web Somehow though my web research just keeps rolling on back to this site. Gotta work out how to stop the window from popping up like that. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 mogski, you could use the off-topic section of this board to ask some foreign punters what they think of your company's cars and the sort of people who drive them. You'll be interested to learn that Subaru drivers are really smart and have big swinging ... I dunno, something anyway. I may turn into a semiconductor packaging system sales engineer one of these days. That would be a neat trick for an English graduate wouldn't it? Link to post Share on other sites

That would mean work! Besides you gotta make something good for peoples to want to drive or ride them right? Once we get that done I might look into your suggestion! Link to post Share on other sites
