What jobs do people on the board have, what do they do for their day? Freelance web designer, web designer for a company, hosting etc.

I'll kick it off... student in Galway, part time owner of some adsense sites.
I'm asking because I'm wondering if anybody here have one of those jobs that are always advertised for, PHP/MySQL developers for companies, it looks like decent pay.

Hang around web forums trying to look like I know something :D

Well actually for the last few years I have been consulting for companies primarily in the construction industry (strategy, analysis and work-flow and process re-engineering) which has also led to quite a lot of web work which I really love. Originally trained as an economist.

Trying to push out the boat with the SEO work at the moment as I get a lot of satisfaction from it. Oh, and I have been known to write business plans on occassion.

Not looking to go into development, programming or any form of web design stuff.....it wrecks my head! But i do have personal sites and i'm running a two commercial sites for my own benefit at the moment.

I work for a financial software house, in Dublin, as a Solution Architect. Have about 8 years dev experience mostly on web based development, usually in Java.

Also have my own company (GC Consulting) with a friend from college. We do web design etc with the idea of using the money from that to finance other ideas. Currently finishing coding one of these ideas and now have the harder task of actually getting users.

Spending some time recently thinking about small side businesses and how people are running them. Thinking of those of you who have full time jobs/studying but running another biz on the side. Trying to think of ways we can help each other out.

I guess it depends on the company but mostly the role is to go to customers and try and elict the technicial requirements (stuff like how will my product talk to your backend systems etc..) then come back and design a solution. Its a bit like the technicial version of a Business Analyst.

Electrical and mechnical engineer.:) 1 yr to go till I'm fully qualified.:)
I'm thinking of starting a forum at some stage for people with questions about electrical in Ireland. I must do a search first to see if there is any others.
I love dealing with electronics and the internet aswell.

I'm a bishop.

No, really, I'm a student at Trinity. I currently have a programming job with a computer games middleware company. Oh, and Google gives me free money (I did http://findmeatune.com as a hobby a couple of years back, then put Google ads on it).
