Southern California-based entertainment consultant, earning $80/hour or low six-figure income. I enjoy what I do, what I help other people achieve, and the money's not a bad bonus as well. I'm trying to transition to being purely paid monthly retainers so I can relax my schedule.

Love being a personal trainer. I'll always stay in shape (i'm too disciplined to let myself go anyway), and there's no better feeling than watching a cute slightly overweight girl transform into a slim hot girl over the course of 5-6 months, or any overweight person for that matter. I'm honoured to know I have that kind of effect on peoples appearance & their lives, and i'm humbled by it.

What criteria do you need to become a trainer? At my gym they add trainers like every day and they cant all be fitness experts.

I'm indifferent to my job. It gives me money and time to do music, which is my true love. I'm starting to teach myself programming, web design, and networking so I can hopefully make money if music goes to sh!te!

I LOVE MY JOB!!! (never thought that I would say that)

I'm the college mascot and I get to d!ck around with people for fun.

Plus, I can be an idiot and get paid for it. Yesterday, I was getting paid to make out with my girlfriend. I love my job.

Down here (Australia), you can do a course in like half a day and they'll give you a certificate of qualification. I'm against this however, I think you would need to do a course that runs for a minimum of 3 months (full time) or 6 months (part time) to really learn the information needed. I was already visiting bodybuilding forums before I did the course anyway, so that gave me a bit of a head start. I knew all the practical stuff already, it was just the theory behind it that I wasn't aware of. With anything in life, if you can learn more about a subject, do it.
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

I'm with alvatore, my job is awesome (personal trainer) for all the reasons he mentioned.

plus I'm an illustrator, so I spend my time getting paid alot of money for drawing and painting.

to be honest I don't even feel like I work, i just get paid to do things that i love doing and probably would be doing anyways even if there was no money involved.

I love what I do. I won't lie, the best part of my job is knowing that I can make or break others. The feeling of power that you get when you know others are trying to please you is better than great sex.

Complain to your boss because a) you're part-time and b) security isn't in your job description.

Of course, if security is in your job description, haha.

Tip: Get more contracts by offering to create before-and-after illustrations of your personal-training clients. Or just illustrate your new personal-training clients in the best of light at no cost to them and watch the word of mouth spread like California wildfires.
