I'm an Environental Artist for a Computer Games company (I work at the same place as JKHilton). Can't complain about the money, but unfortunatley most of it goes on the mortgage and house. I try and spend carefully when it comes to modifying my car, which is probably the reason why it's taken me 4 years to get the car to it's current standard.

well if you get one like i am doing at the moment it is a thing where you get to shuffle paper around a desk to make yourself look busy while you play on novaload all day long - and you get paid for it :D

Alex
18-02-03, 03:08 PM
sounds just like a uni student except at uni you drink more and dont have to shuffle paper :lol:

wisewood
18-02-03, 03:11 PM

Alex
18-02-03, 03:26 PM

wisewood

I work as a administrator for an import company & im on 11k a year. pretty crap, but not too bad seen as tho im only 20. But im doing training in Graphic design soon as admin is too boring :( Anyone know any good courses I should start in in this area of work?

I spend lots of cash on modding my car, but most of the money comes from my CREDIT CARD! :wink:

try if you can to do anything to do with Adobe Photoshop, Pagemaker, Quark Express, anything to do with Flash etc. if you can get good with those and can produce a portfolio of work, then you should be able to get into a decent graphic design job.

i bet mine is one of the crappiest jobs - I draw POO-PIPES on the computer...!! :? :o

...well sort of - i'm a CAD Engineer for a contractor in the Water Industry, so it involves drawing/designing pipework and fittings for sewage works, water treatment plants, pumping stations, etc.

Site Visits, servey's, measuring up, etc. can be fun :? smelly :( and full of crap :x

But most of the work in the office is quite good (if you dont think too much about wot you're drawing) :)
