What occupation do your parents have? Just a general intrest question.
Do both your parents work? Also, do you support yourself (ie: you have
your own job, house etc) or do your parents support you?

My mom owns a little business and my dad's a chartered-secretary.

I am supported by them too.

I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

My parents are retired. I live at home and dont pay rent. I

tutoring a couple of hours a week... so I'll really be racking up the
cash :biggrin:

student at uni.

My mom is an architect and my dad is a structural engineer and both are
professors. They both work in the same building. On the same corridor for
that matter. And so do my brother and his wife who are architects too and
so will I since I will become an architect as well. Family curse.

My parents are devorced. Been so since I was 17.

My dad is retired and my mom works at UMHB in Texas.

Thats OK mate. Been 25 years now, I think I got over it.

My step mom works at some college as well in Arkansas, and I have no step dad so that about sums them all up :smile:

Both my parents are retired. They used to be international investment bankers.

I'm supported by my folks as I pursue an undergraduate degree.

Me parents divorced last year ( I was 13 ) and my mom doesn't make much money, so things are super tight right now.

I was a paper boy for awhile, a baseball ump for awhile, and now I do nothing :biggrin:

Frenchy, consider lifeguarding, its the cushiest job ever. Plus you can work on a tan while you're getting paid.

I used to work at "Stone containers, Missouri State containers, Wonder State box and Tate containers". All over a 20 year period. :smile:

Making corrugated containers is one of those jobs someone will always need a product from. Your dad has job security. Don't laugh. Someday you may find out what the lack of that feels like. :biggrin:

Might it be Smurfit-Stone? Thats the american counter-part or whatever of my dads company, Smurfit-MBI

I am thinking Pre-Smurfit. I worked for them in 1987. Was a small factory in Temple Texas. It was shortly after they bought out a competitor from that time period.

I do however know the name Smurfit. As I recall, one or the other bought it out. Since Stone is still around I am thinking Stone is the one who bought Smurfit.

my dad is a veterinarian and my mom helps manage the business, they work for themselves

My Dad is a physicist/software engineer. He writes simulators for integrated circuits. My mother does volunteer work, and has just started a small music education business.

I am pursuing my PhD in Chemistry at the University of Washington, and am financially independent.

Some people are like slinkys...

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

My dad deals with all things dealing with computers over at Racing
Champions. He's supposed to only deal with the mainframes, but it
called on to help with everything from simply pc problems to networking.

My mom is a psychiatric nusre. My dad is a sales rep for AMD, symantec, logitech, and a few other big tech companies. Basically his job is to hang out in best buy for an hour or two each day. We get alot of free/discounted stuff too. I got a logitech MX1000 for free, a logitech joystick and stering whell for free, and a $100 discount on an AMD 64 and mobo combonation a year ago.

Lucky bastard :smile:

My friend's mom works for Ticketmaster, and since they dominate the
world, she get's be huge discounts on any shows I want to go to.
Kick ass :biggrin:

My dad is a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer (thats the "official" term, it means he fixes planes). Right now he's in Taiwan, apparently theres some new regulations over there and now he's the only one outside the US qualified to overhaul this plane. My mum is a desktop publisher, she works from home. Unfortunately, neither parent is in a position to get free stuff. I am a full-time student, which means I have no job and sponge off my parents. In 4 years, I'll hopefully be starting a career in computer systems engineering.

Used to live with my dad in Canada for a while doing the MCSE and CCNA
courses but I ended up getting kicked out of college cos I could
nologer afford it so I helped my dad to program the CNC machines

Human knowledge belongs to the world

He, most of you seem to have pretty [wealthy] backgrounds. (As in you
pups are Brokers and stuff) When im older Im gonna do Computer Science
(Huge demand and very high pay). My mom doesnt earn that much from her
lil' business so most of the net comes from my Dad, whos a Chartered
Secretary (Does legal work etc.) , and I think he is pretty high payed
(Ie, average middle class income is R15,000 -> R20,000, and my dad
earns +- R30,000.)
