~2.5 months short of graduation, making $15/hr doing what is more or less "dream job" material. Junior-level contracting, if you will.
Going to transition to a code monkey desk job, probably deploying horizontally scalable turkey J2EE architectures in the Enterprise.
Dream job is being self-employed. Not hard, just need to pay my school loans off before delving into that.

Go tell Keith that IronFist wants a coding job. Thanks.

If you seriously do that, then you are awesome. Seriously dude, thank you for your hard work. I have tons of Logitech peripherals and they are all awesome.

Occupation: web developer with Django ONE WORD, THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE, THREAD OVER
Dream job: computational scientist with the Algorithmic Language Scheme
Occupation: Construction.
Dream job: Sysadmin position (or similar) with plenty of time for slacking off and conjuring spells.
Had a similar position to the former, but I had to double ad helpdesk and service personnel. Not too bad for a smallish company, but I thank the recession for getting me laid off soon after they added "webmaster" to my job description. Boss was scary, wouldn't have had the balls to quit, pussy that I am

This is actually a pretty good idea. It it wasn't for interacting with (possibly naked and horny) girls, I'd go for it immediately. But as it stands, I would just look like a dumbass basement-dwelling nerd and they'd laugh at me.
Hahaha, no. Friend, you need to stop thinking this way.
Act like the girls aren't doing anything interesting at all. Be all like "oh, you have sex in front of a camera for money. That's cool." They'll be like "ohmigawd this guy doesn't give a shit about anything!"
That's the paradox. Act like you're interested, and everyone avoids you. Act like you don't give a shit, and everyone wants a piece of that conversation pie.

I program ERP shit. And it's awful. Everyday when I see tonnes of copypasta I threw up a little. Fortunately, I'm on vacation now. Unfortunately, it will not last long. 9 more days. NINE MORE DAYS

Well, to be honst I spend my vacation with IDA Pro, trying to reverse some eroge, so it can be translated. I thought that /prog/ will have more IDA related intersting posts, but google proved me wrong.

Worse. Much worse.Enterprise resource planning. In nutshell this work like this: someone forgets to call `round(moneyAmount)` correct number of times and then one cent is missing. Hate this shit. I really want to store money amount inside of fractions.
Well, I hope I will not be fired - before I went on vacation I had important task, which was several months beyond deadline. Ahh, fuck it. Back to reverse engineering.

We don't talk much about reversing around here, but many of us do it. Reversing eroge to write tools is also a common occurance for those of us who visit /jp/ and maybe contribute to some projects in that community.

Use Lisp. You can store money inside fractions if you wish and do fairly exact operations on them. It's natively supported Everyday when I see tonnes of copypasta I threw up a little.
Macros may help here if there's genuine copy-pasta or similar looking code, but some functional abstractions can do the same thing in a more verbose manner (and can be slower).
Too bad I doubt they want you writing Lisp in a corporate environment as people are under this impression that it's hard to find people to maintain your code afterwards (unlike disposable Javamonkeys).
