I've worked for a local computer repair shop since I was 14. I'm now almost 17. Sometimes it's frustrating, and sometimes pay is low, but I enjoy it in the end.

Plastering contractor. As far as I know, I'm the only one that's not an alcoholic. 8) I don't know of any others that play guitar.

Magnesium die-cast metal factory supplying mostly the auto industry. From what I'm told, we have 95% of the North American market. Most of the remaining competitors didn't survive '08. Business is good, and with the upcoming fuel-efficiency standards, the future looks secure. Why am I talking about this? I'll spare you any further blabbery.

Guitar teacher, sales person at guitar store, live musician, soon to be college student.

Being a musician means working multiple jobs in most cases, I think.

I work for a small family owned custom furniture builder in the finish room. Prior to that I worked as an automotive bodyman/refinisher for 35 years. In all my working career I only had one coworker that played.
