Title says it all, if you do work what do you do, and if not what do you want to do? :)
Personally I know I want a job that is computer based, I've been exploring my options for about 2 years having attempted to learn basic coding and binary etc. Networking and possibly GFX although I doubt it seeing as I'm not very artistic.
How about yourselves?

over the last year and a half I have worked for 3 different cleaning companies, one at an airport, a shopping mall, and now an office building
starting to get real sick of it, as I am finding every place I go the people (mainly the ones in charge) are absolute idiots
my dream job is to work aboard a shipping vessel and get to travel the world

Being at sea is absolutely fantastic my friend, in my opinion there is nothing better than a few weeks at sea it's one of the most beautiful things you can ever see particularly a nice sunset.

Nah you cant, you gotta go to maritime school for years to get licenses and it costs a fortune too
main reason I went to college was cause I got accepted to local maritime university but I needed to get a trigonometry credit first, failing college pretty much derailed me

Lol kinda like my story, I started with gfx, enjoyed doing it however i did not feel like it was something i wanted to have as my job. It's something i do to kill time and i like to keep it as an hobby not my job. Started coding, enjoyed it a lot and now i am studying GameDeveloping.
Also got into modelling which i also learn in my study and i tried animations but thats just to hard for me and i can't bother learning it x)
Graphic design. I guess you could say I've had my fair share of doing it over here but I look to get into it more seriously in the future and actually find a place where I can do it for a living.
coding/game development is every nerd gamers dream.
it's nothing like you want it to be, and even if you begin to scratch the surface, it isn't until you actually have to code that it becomes horrible. absolutely, absolutely horrible.
id suggest, if your dream job is game development (primarily because you like games), to focus on something like storyline development. It's highly unlikely you'll get the job, but if you do, you won't hate it. coding sucks.
Other fields, such as modelling, database administrator, etc are also slightly better. At least you can get creative with modelling though.
Networking..oh god, take it from a network administrator for 3 years, it's a ton, ton worse than you hope it is. Maybe you like that stuff, I thought I did too. It doesn't get much funner than crawling under tables and stuff ziptying every wire together, or programming the router/switches. It pays high for a reason, its..its horrible man.
but hey, do what you want. if you dont like it, move on to something else. just keep your options open.

:P I got interested in networking from my dad who was an assistant manager at citigroup in London for about 10 years, but his team did networking so he pretty much knows it inside out :) But I can understand why you'd say it's boring D:
It's important to know networking though, dont get me wrong. I don't even use flash drives anymore, I transfer stuff through network sharing. It has a lot of common uses.
I currently work as an orderpicker, but i would LOVE to have a job similar as the job i do for Zylon Gaming.
my job is to study... and i don't know who i want to be in the future ;>
I do machine work. I run milling machines lathe's grinders CNC machines bench drills polishers and more. Its quite fun and interest me. I am going to school to be an engineer ( makes blueprints and programs machines and manages metal for big companies). Not to boast or brag but i can get anything i need down to size by a thousandth ( 1 thousandths of an inch). That pretty good. and one day i hope to be tool and dye (the best machinist). Tool and Dye is so good they make airplane parts and get the metal (parts) they wont down to size by a tenth of a thousandth.
My dad has been doing this for years and as i grew up i went to work with him and it really made me enjoy it. My dad is the head figure of my life and spending time with him and doing what he does for a living makes it all worth it. As a little kid i always looked up to him and now that im old enough to have a job he got me a job working with him while also going to school, I have been working at the machine shop he works at for 2 years now. Where i work we do hydraulics and cylinders and pumps. Anything of that sort. Many of the people playing this game likes design and graphics and coding. I also like doing this and i do it in my spare time.
So... the reasoning of my career being a machinist is based upon me and my dads relationship and sharing something we both love, doing machine work. I am pretty good at mathematics and it makes the job a whole lot easier for me.
It all boils down too what i have grown up around. My mom and dad has been separated for 9 years and i've been with my dad ever since. I see my mom on the weekends but since me and my dad spend time much time together and with me being a young man and living with my dad we have grown a tight bond together. He is someone who has always been there and always taught me anything i wont to know that he knows.
Another hobby me and my dad has in common is building motors (race car motors, imports, hot rods, go kart motors, racing go kart motors, four wheeler motors and more).

game modeling used to be my dream as a hardcore gamer, I studied 3d modeling for usage in games and as well as 3d printing for 4 years in highschool and got accepted to a private school full ride, but at the end of those 4 years I hated it for some reason.
even though I've been discharged from the military, at the moment I still do military based operations controlling supply and serve as a combat instructor for current service members from time to time. This is where most of my income is generated.
my real love is co-managing the studio I go to and making music, but it doesn't pull money and I don't consider it a job though the hours are just as regular. I really love being immersed in the whole music and dance scene so hopefully one day I can work in a bigger studio and make that my full time job. It's very self-paced, chill and even when I'm down the job pulls me up which is why I consider it a real dream job. ;D

Wow, that is genuinely awesome and I think it's cool that you have such a good relationship with your dad :)

Thanks. My dad and I have always had a very good relationship. He teaches me everything he knows, guides me in the right direction, and also is helping me develope myself into becoming a man. If anything was to happen I know what it takes to keep myself up and too take care of my brothers. He has been the "idol" of my life since my very young years of being a child. We have always rode dirtbikes and fourwheelers and stuff together. We hunt together, go fishing together and even when problems come along (bills and stuff) we work threw them together. Didnt wont it to appear that im a "daddy's boy" but he means everything to me. Without him ide probably still be goofing off with friends, getting high, gettin drunk, in jail or possibly worse. He is the role model of my life.

something similar to this
I'd like to be a MLB baseball player, But that isn't a practical job since I probably will not succeed to that. So i would like to be a house constructor or a lawyer.
When I become a stand up comedian(get it or die trying). I want to be different from other comedians. Like develop a new style and timing. Pretty much like Dave Chappelle straying away from the founders such as Bob Hope's techniques.

Anti just put your effort into it.
Design and product development/industrial design, mainly working in Autodesk programs - 3ds max and Maya (modeling). In approx. a year I'll move on to uni and proceed in my education.

I tried to use autodesk and failed so epically it's unreal D: although an awesome program in the hands of those who know how to use it :)

If you really like modeling and do put effort into it it's impossible not to learn.
Personally I continuously want to discover all the functions and learn how to master them, which is motivating me to keep going. Just give it some time ;D
