I'm a grad student. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is why I have no money. Don't have the time to have a job, go to uni between 9 and 10am each morning and come home some time after 10pm, usually about 11, can get well into the morning though. Your taxes pay me a measly living alowance each week which I spend on food.
Before I went on my trip to Europe I was a G.I.S Analyst/Marketing advisor at Waitakere Enterprise (Waitakere City Council economic development agency).

Theres an old saying, theres money to be made in shiite |

Good effort there Tim. It takes guts to go out there and tackle the task of running your own business.
I'm looking at my options at the moment because my work is getting a little bit boring now but I don't think I'd leave.

I've been seeing this new Chevette of yours parks up quite a bit on K Rd recently. Did you change the wheels again? On topic: Would love to have a job, need some money rather badly!! |
