Hi there, I'm opening this topic as I'm very curious about where you guys work, feel free to post your opinions and why you like/dislike your job, also where you like to be working right now?
I'm currently working for a company called SolidSafe we are 6 workers and 5 of them are engineers, I'm their only programmer and I do Industrial Security Programs. In my free time I develop games, I've created a random generated dungeon crawler called Cursed Mad Dungeons (which you can download http://www.mediafire.com/download/n3nqy9qqer6r6n7/CD.zip - here ) Right now I'm willing to have my own studio with my brother as we have some projects in mind and others under development and we really need to work full time. |

I work as a daycare coach, and I have a love/hate relationship with my job lol. I love being able to run around and be crazy (We're a very active daycare lol) and it can make your whole day better when a kid tells you that you're his favorite coach 
I've yet to publish a game, but I'm working on one right now which should be released fairly soon 
Where would I like to work? I'd like to be a male stripper, but my girlfriend is holding me back. I told her "I'm like a peacock! You gotta let me fly!" But she still won't let me... Not to mention I don't have the body for it lol. |

I am working as software developer and graphic designer in our family company with my brother and father. We are mainly developing special electronic systems for our customer's needs which mostly require a main control software with a database on PC. And that's when I come in. Since I am working with my brother and father (we are very close with eachother) I have no problem with my daily job and I REALLY love and enjoy programming since I was very young so I am quite happy with it. Edit: Oh, I am developing a game in my free time too. :) Also I once worked as soundtrack composer and sound produced for an android tower defense game called "Alien Defense" by a Canadian developer. It was a paid job and I really enjoyed working with the developer who is an awesome guy. |

Thanks Theoden, good luck to you too we are all going to need it. Nowdays everything is about luck (and money).
I've been checking all those [OPP] threads, it seems interesting but I always wonder, who's going to code? :P |

| I work at a company that sells screen printed bags and refurbished screen printing equipment. I manage their site and do graphic design for bags and for our own needs plus other office duties. When it's slow I push pixels :) |

I'm a computer systems support analyst supporting manufacturing data collection applications for Ford Motor Company. I love my job, love my plant, love what I do... I don't love getting up at 2AM to be at work by 4AM to support production though.

I don't have a job yet, just finished my first year of University doing Computer Science, but I'm planning to switch to Game Development instead.
I (fail) at making games in my spare time :p |
