I do similar work but, capture all the land data info from a photo taken 4K ft. i the air. It called aerial surveying. I own the company with my dad (about to retire) we do remote sensing, dem land terrain models, topographic maps, and several other services that can be seen @ www.atlisgeo.com.
Med Student - But I do patient transport on Saturdays... I'm bringing in about $25 a week. I'm friggin awesome. :biglaugh:
I'm a UNIX geek in the IT department for the CarQuest corporate headquarters. I transfer financial/inventory records from CarQuest distribution centers to our servers for processing and backup. I also provide first tier tech support to our clients at the distribution centers. Lately I have been getting more into software development and modifying our inventory software to make it more efficient. I write a lot of unix scripts for co-workers also. I'm also finishing up my comp sci degree at NC state so I can go work at IBM or Cisco. Damn, I'm a nerd.
Wow. Old thread.
I work on the IT team for a transit agency. Can't really beat government benefits and the pay is very competitive. I handle IT projects like radio programming, trips to repeaters, installation of equipment, electronic fueling system, MDT's on the busses, you name it. Fun stuff though. We all kinda share the workload and things get done.
I really like the software where you can lay a map of the area out and see every bus, in realtime, who's driving, how many people on it, whether it's got any mechanical trouble, and all kinds of good stuff.

I stock shelves in the pharmacy department of a supermarket (Giant) for a whopping $6.00 an hour but im only 16
I know you're situation all too well, but its cool, because min. wage goes up to 7.65 in january!!(for me, anyways) I still have to get a second job to pay for insurance...
I am a software developer for a freight forwarder. Occasionally people call me for tech support and I'm the highest level in my company that a tech issue can escalate to, which occasionally means that I get some interesting, challenging problems. I get paid about 50k/yr salary and benefits. I am currently two quarters away from a computer science degree. Once I have that piece of paper I can probably make about double what I do now.
p.s. holy old thread, batman!

Deskside IT at UnumProvident (~10,000 local employees)
I upgrade peoples systems after they go home. P3 750 w/21" CRT -> P4 2.8 w/19" FP
Also do some tech support in the mornings and because of our legal department I pull hard drives from the old machines and throw them in a box 'just in case'.
Sometimes I help the build bench(where they image the computers I'm putting out), put out 'daytime' deployments, set up computers for new employees...
While tech support sucks, it means I come in at 8am and don't leave untill about 5:30 or so. Making Friday an early day(normally don't work past noon on Friday).

I'm a mechanic on the CH-53D "Sea Stallion" helicopter. I'm officially a crewchief, but I got off of flight orders since I tended to get sick too often while flying (only to the point of puking 4 or 5 times). There was really not much of a worse feeling than feeling like dogshit and knowing that I had to deal with it until the end of the flight. I nearly reached the 500 flight hour mark and was a Night Systems Instructor (the second highest qualification for a crewchief) and was going to be a student at the Weapons and Tactics Instructor course, which would have made me a Weapons and Tactics Instructor (the highest qualification for a crewchief). That trip got cancelled due to our squadron not being able to come across the proper transportation to get there. I was also a Terrain Flight Instructor and Aerial Gunner (on the .50 cal machine gun).
I really enjoy working on our planes, so much to the point that I'm going to pursue a career in aviation maintenance in the civilian world once I get out of the military in 10+ months.
Here is a little visual candy for everyone. Please don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have. I have very limited internet access now, but I will do what I can to answer them quickly.
