19, I'm going to school for architecture, to the dismay of my engineer father.

But as for jobs, up until a few months ago I worked in a Skate/Snow board shop.
Now I work as a draftsman part time at an engineering place and am a contributing artist for a clothing company. Busy, busy.

Im 19, I currently have no job, I used to work a Hollister Folding shirts and going to school, before that I was a dishwasher at a local pizza place. Ive got one year of college under my belt, but dont know what I wanna do in life. So until then I work on peoples engines, and outboards for some extra cash. Ive been into rotarys I guess you could say my whole life.

I'm 22 and just graduated with a bachelors in Finance (just finished up a few weeks ago) so after a few more weeks of R&R I'll start job hunting. As of right now I still have my part time job pumping gas, it kinda sucks, but its been a good "going to school" job. I also did contruction for a few summers, that was pretty cool, but the hours weren't regular enough....
