I want Edward Burtynksys job.

Visiting these places would be my idea of heaven.

Love his work, possibly my favourite photographer.

My ideal job would be a playing in a 70s psych rock band and being some kinda crazy artist on the side but I'm enjoying being a cycle courier and making people guitar pedals and that right now.

Back when I used to write garbage articles for money I got paid 10 cent a word.


That, but on thumped.

 

[pete]

who pays 10c?

 

[Lili Marlene]

I was reliably informed that was the industry standard at the time.

The 2nd rate publishing industry.

 

[pete]

what are online rates like? (see recent thumped tweets there to the right)

 

[Lili Marlene]

No idea. This was 4-5 years ago BTW. I can ask though if no-one else gets back to you, I have a friend who writes for AN ONLINE MAGAZINE WHO WILL REMAIN NAMELESS


I have ads turned off so don't see anything to the right (assuming it's in ads?) , plus twitter is blocked in work.

 

[pete]

well i'm not looking for anyone to betray a confidence or anything - just wondering

 

[magicbastarder]

not that it's any use to you, but i was once told that the zip code article in national geographic pays the highest rate per word in the publishing business.

the new FAS jobfinder website is actually harder to use then the old one, something i didnt think possible. if anyone can figure how to search for 'part time only' on the new one let me know.

 

[ann post]

my ideal job is several part time jobs in different fields ranging from labour to pen pushing to whatever, so long as theres variety.

 

[Squiggle]

what about wife and mother?

The hours are very long and the rewards certainly won't pay the bills. Unfortunately it's a bit like farming, you do it for the love of it, but you've got to do something else to bring in the dosh.

Better off being a hooker with a creche so.

seen that 'manufactured landscapes' in tower a few times,its worth getting then?

Worth seeing. It's in Laser, probably not worth buying.

i just watched it. was thinking of buying it after watching it. its very good and the torrent had no subtitles.
