I'm an Air Traffic Controller in the United States Air Force.

I work at some kind of best buy/walmart at the electronics/entertainment department and I work like 14 hours per week and get payed ~$1100 per month.(thats what I actually have left after taxes etc...)
I have 36 vacation days per year. And get a 10% discount on everything I buy.
The year has 52 weeks and I have to work twice a week. So I work 104 days per year - 36 days = 68 days.
Working 68 days per year and ending up with $13200 is quite nice. (add 2x $726 which is 66% of 1100 as holiday and christmas bonus and its $14652 per year)
So conclusion = Best job ever. Work 2 days per week and have 5 days left to do what you want. :)

That was my MOS before I got injured in basic training (I'm so ashamed). Everyone said it was the most stressful job and that, if I didn't smoke and drink, I would start. Is it really that bad?

You literally make more money than that on welfare in Australia. Seriously when I was out of work they paid me $1,200 a fortnight, and when I got a new job they still paid me in full until I made my first $1,000. Crazy.
I work for News Corporation in Australia as a Account Executive/Media planner
I'm in my last year of 'physical education and sport'.
But I plan to go study history after this.

Let's just say when I turn 21 (19 currently) the alcohol consumption will begin xD
It's not really as hard as everyone says it is. It is very stressful however. During training the instructors/trainers will simulate the stress in a real time environment by yelling at you, throwing things, or getting right in your face. The point is to weed out the people who just can't take it. The actual work however, is difficult, but easily feasable if you put in the study time.
What are you doing now?
