Guide to Jobs in Second Life就业指南第二生命
Second Life is quite unlike a MMORPG in the sense that you need skills
to get a job - or rather, make a living in SL - but, unlike MMORPGs,
the skills you need - are your
own!第二生命并非一个线上游戏的意思,你需要的技能找到工作,或者反而在澳门谋生,但不像mmorpgs,你需要的技能--你自己!

So, there are no buttons to press on dialog boxes that make you
"instantly" upgrade an artificial skill which will bump your character
into the world of professional
services.因此,没有任何对话按钮按住箱子,使你"即时"技能提升后将人工碰你性格融入世界的专业服务.
Instead, you have to apply your own RL skills in SL in order to
succeed.反之,你必须运用自己的技巧rl澳门才能成功.
During this session, we will try to cover the following types of
jobs:在本届会议期间,我们将尝试包括以下工种:

Unskilled Jobs技术性工作

Unskilled jobs are those that do not require any "outside" skill (ie.
RL-related) to be
hired.这些都是技术性工作,并不需要任何"外面"技能(即rl相关)待遇.
Not surprisingly, there are not many around, and they don't pay very
well.不足为奇的是,不会有太多的存在,他们并不十分好.

Dancer舞者
The first type of unskilled job is the night club
"dancer".第一类是熟练的职业夜总会"舞蹈". Since club
owners earn some money by attracting crowds - through a complex formula
that converts the time and number of people that are inside their club
for a period of time into a weekly L$ stipend - it's natural for them
to hire people to attract these crowds and make sure they stay there as
long as
possible.由于俱乐部拥有赚钱吸引人潮--通过一个复杂的公式,皈依时间内有多少人,他们都是俱乐部的时间为每周一公升达账的自然为他们聘请这些人吸引人潮并使其尽可能长时间留在那里.
Dancers are one way to do that.舞者之一办法.

To become a dancer, you have three
alternatives.成为舞者,你有三个选择. Sometimes, jobs are
offered on the Classified section of the http://forums.secondlife.com/
forums
.有时候,工作组提供的机密的http://forums.secondlife.com/论坛.
You can browse the forum groups to see if someone is
hiring.你可以浏览看看别人是论坛组录用. The second way
is, some clubs sometimes announce special events just to hire
dancers.二是一些俱乐部特别活动刚刚宣布聘请有时跳舞.
This has become slightly more rare in later months, so perhaps you
should try the third way: go to a club you like, try to get in touch
with a club owner, and ask him if a job is
available.这已成为较为少见几个月后,也许你们应该尝试第三种:你喜欢去俱乐部,尝试接触俱乐部老板、问及就业资料.

Some club owners pay a fixed salary, but expect you to be at their club
for a certain amount of hours per week (including mostly all announced
events at the club, to get a "full
house").一些俱乐部业主支付固定薪金,但你要指望他们在俱乐部一定数量的每周(包括所有主要活动在宣布俱乐部找"满座").
Others rely on tips - either paid directly to the dancers, or through
tip boxes.靠别人小费--要么直接付给舞者或通过冰山箱.
Some dancers also do stripping or offer escort
services.舞者也做了一些汽或提供接送服务.

Model模型
Another very glamorous unskilled job is becoming a
model.另一个是很高尚的职业技能,成为示范. Hiring is done
in similar way as dancers, but the truth is, there are not many job
offerings in these
areas.租用方式做类似跳舞,但事实是,不会有太多的就业冥这些地区.
There are a few modelling agencies around, and clothes designers
usually contact them to organize big fashion events, like in
RL.周围有几家模特儿、服装设计者通常驻马店举办大型时装活动像rl.
These attract very large crowds and are certainly one of the best and
more fun way to present your clothes lines to the SL
public.这些吸引庞大人潮,必然是最好的办法,现在你的衣服更有趣的澳门公众线路.

To become a professional model, you'll have to do a serious investment
in yourself.成为专业示范,做一包包了严重的投资才行. To
earn a large amount of L$, you not only need a gorgeous avatar, but
highly priced items like a special skin, hair (often prim hair, which
is expensive), good make-up techniques, and catwalking animations,
preferable unique (thus, often you have to pay someone to do them for
you).赚取巨额公升港币,你不仅需要一个华丽梵、但收费高的特殊项目如皮肤,头发(头发表面常,价格昂贵),好化妆技巧,动画及catwalking,可取独特(所以,你常常要付出别人为你做这些).
To become a famous model, expect a recurring investment in more
animations.成为著名的模式,预计投资更经常动画. Still,
the job usually pays well.但是,这项工作通常是自付. And you
get the glamour and fame that comes with this job
:-)给你的风采,面对着这个职位先成名

Shop Attendant售货员
Lately, shop attendants have become fashionable again, as a
counter-point to the automated
vendors.近来,店内服务员也再次成为时尚,作为反点自动商贩.
Humans always sell much better than machines, so, some brands have been
hiring people to do the sales for
them.人类总是比卖机器,所以,有些品牌已聘请群众做好销售给他们.
Sales reps have the advantage of not being tied to a specific
location.一起销售的好处是不会被捆绑到指定地点. An
agreement is made upon sales comissions, and, if the shop owner expects
you to stay at the same place for a few hours per week, they usually
pay you a small salary as
well.协议是根据销售comissions,如果店主期待你留在同一地点进行了几个小时,每星期小付你平时工资等.

Bouncer/Security Agent弹跳/安全剂
With the recent increase of griefers in-world - people whose sole
purpose is destroying events by disrupting them - there has also been
some offerings as bouncers or security
agents.随着近期上升griefers在世界人民的唯一目的是扰乱他们的活动破坏-亦有祭品打手或安全人员.
When someone is concentrating all of his/her efforts in running an
event, it's always handy to have a few people around that target the
griefers and make them leave the place, instead of having to deal with
them as
well.当有人把所有他/她的努力办一件、它总是得心应手,有几个人左右的目标,使他们离开griefers广场非但没有对付他们.

In any case - and perhaps excepting models and escorts - unskilled jobs
do not really pay well, so lets take a look at skilled
jobs.无论如何,或许除模范和护送技术性职位并不真的付出那么所以让给看一看技能.

Skilled Jobs技能

"Skilled jobs" are of two types - "classical skilled jobs", where you
employ one of your RL skills directly towards an activity in SL, and
free-lancers/business owners, where you bring in other skills, that do
not relate directly to SL, but which can be employed successfully to
give you a steady
income."技能"两大类,"古典技能"你那里你聘请一名rl技能直趋活动在澳门、free-lancers/business业主你带其他技能,不直接涉及澳门、但可以给你成功就业稳定收入.

Let's see the first type of skilled
jobs.让我们看看第一类技能. The classical skilled jobs in SL
can be broadly divided in two different types as well - the first type,
you just require Second Life's client application to do your
job.经典技能在澳门大致可分为两种不同类型的头型、第二只要求你生活的客户申请做你们的工作.
The second type requires external tools.第二种需要外部的工具.

Builder/Modeller建设者/建模
The first job is building - using SL's 3D modelling interface to create
unique objects that you can
sell.首先是建立就业-澳门使用的接口,创造独特的三维造型物体,你可以出售.
This is probably one area of SL that everybody has tried at least once
- sticking prims together to build new
objects.这可能是澳门面积至少一次尝试,人人有卡素数共建新物体.
There are several sorts of "builders" - architects, who specialize in
building homes; furniture designers; weapons; vehicles; miscellaneous
objects.有数种"建设者"的建筑师,专门从事住房建设;家具设计师;武器;车辆;杂物.
In the latter you may include artists, who use the 3D modelling tools
of SL to create sculptures or similar artistical
objects.后者可能包括您在艺术家使用三维造型工具创造澳门艺术雕塑或类似物体.

While everybody is able to learn the 3D modelling interface of SL - and
there are classes teaching both beginner and advanced levels - the
truth is, to become successful in this business, you need an
aesthethical sense much more than a thorough knowledge of the
tools.当大家都能够学习先进的3D模型接口澳门-初学者有两个教学班和高级班-真相,成本生意,你需要一个较彻底aesthethical感知识的工具.
It's not surprising that the best architects/designers in SL are
actually architects in RL, or 3D graphical designers, 3D modellers, or
even people from the FX effects
industry.这并不奇怪,重要的最佳建筑师/设计师在澳门其实rl建筑师、设计师或三维图形、三维建模,甚至从盘效果业.
For them, SL is just another tool to be learned - like a different word
processor for a talented
writer.对于他们来说,澳门是另一个教训工具类不同文字处理机一位天才作家.
As soon as they grasp the way SL's modelling tool works, they can
easily create fantastic pieces of art that they can sell very well -
much faster than someone who has no talent but has been in-world for a
year or two and really knows all the tricks of the modelling
interface.尽快地掌握澳门的模特儿工具厂容易创造神奇的艺术片,他们可以卖甚远高于那些没有才华但一直在世界一两年,真正懂得了所有的花招模特儿接口.
Technique is not a substitute for imagination, creativity, and a
well-developed aesthetical
sense.技术并非取代的想象力和创造力,以及一个发达审美意识.

Lately, as SL's society complexifies, we have seen a specialization of
builders.最近一段时间,澳门的社会complexifies,我们看到了建设者的专业化.
A talented architect will probably not design vehicles or furniture,
and the reverse is also
true.一位天才建筑师的设计可能不会车或家具,反之亦然.
Some people concentrate their efforts in building tiny objects - like
jewelry or gadgets - and would probably do a bad job of creating a
large
building.有人集中精力建设微小物体状饰品或小玩意,做不好可能会造成很大的建设.
If you're talented, pick up a niche in SL, and focus your efforts in
producing objects for that
niche.如果你能干,拿起垂澳门、集中精力生产利基为何物.
Trying to compete with the well-established masters, with a solid
reputation, is very, very hard - unless you wish to work for them
instead of
competing.试图与行之有效的主人,提供了坚实的声誉,是非常、很辛苦的工作,除非你想为他们与其竞争.
Teams of builders work often together to meet deadlines (and also have
more fun
together!).建设者一起工作队常常为了赶(乐趣,也有更多在一起!).

Texturertexturer
Associated with builders we often see
texturers.与我们常看到texturers建设者. Due to the nature of 3D
worlds, you cannot really have good builds if you don't have wonderful
textures, and these are much harder to do properly - it's not a
question of simply uploading one freebie texture, apply it to a
building, and expect it to
work!由于性质三维世界,你不能真正建立起你如果没有良好的美妙笔触,这些更难做适当的问题,不是一个简单的免费上网纹理、它适用于建筑物,预计工作!
Textures are done with "external programs", like Adobe Photoshop, Paint
Shop Pro, or the open-source GIMP - you'll need to be proficient with
those tools in order to do good
textures.织正在做"外来节目",像Photoshop的坯体、油漆店亲、或是开放源码瘸子--你必须要掌握这些工具,以便做好织.
Professional graphical designers or artists will have a much easier
entry in the texturing market - colleges really teach semester courses
on
texturing.专业图形设计者或者艺术家会更容易进入的纹市场学院课程学期授课真纹.
Some of the best examples in SL go even a step ahead - you create 3D
models outside SL, apply the proper lighting to make your 3D model
realistic, and grab the textures to upload them into
SL.最好的例子,有些甚至一步走在澳门佑营造三维模型以外澳门、妥善运用灯光,使你现实3D模型、抢到笔触上传到澳门.
These types of builds achive a higher level of outstanding
realism.这些类型的建成从而实现更高水平的优秀写实.

Fashion Designer时装设计师
A slightly different type of specialized texturing is clothes
design.稍有不同类型的变形,是专门设计衣服. Clothes in SL
are designed using special templates - which you can get for free at
the SL web site - over which you apply your skills and creativity,
again using an external tool like the ones mentioned
before.采用特殊设计的衣服,在澳门模板-您可以得到免费的澳门网站超过你用你的技能和创造力,再次使用外部工具,如前所说的.
Clothes are perhaps easier to do than textures, but to do them *well*,
takes a lot of time and
patience.也许不是容易做衣服织,但做**好,要花很多时间和耐心.
Simply grabbing a picture from a Web site and tweaking it on Photoshop,
expecting to make a lot of money, will not work - the highly acclaimed
top clothiers in SL do their own designs from scratch, and they make
money for being unique, and for the high quality of their finished work
- it's very, very hard to do the seams properly (that is, aligning the
front, back and sleeves properly), and people will expect to pay
premium for "perfect" clothes, but next to nothing for crude
attempts.干脆抢走了照片,并激发它从一个关于Photoshop的网站,期待大赚一笔,行不通的好评顶围裹在澳门做自己设计从零开始,他们正在为赚钱而独特、高质量的完成工作是很、很难做正确的接缝(即对准前方,背部及妥善袖)人们期待和付出溢价"完美"的衣服,但明年原油企图落空.

As with building, clothiers are starting to specialize on certain
styles.如同大楼设计师开始专门对某些风格. The very big
brands usually have all sorts of clothes, but smaller designers
concentrate on a specific niche - say, lingerie, vampire clothing,
T-shirts, or
shoes.通常有很大的各种品牌服装,但较小设计师集中特定小生-说胸衣,吸血鬼服装,T恤,或者鞋.
There are thousands of clothes designers in SL and it's quite hard to
build your reputation quickly (but there certainly are a few that
succeeded).有成千上万的衣服,在设计师SL和它的声望相当难以迅速建立你(但的确也有一些成功).
You will also need to own several shops to advertise your products -
unlike architects which often are hired for the hour - and sponsor some
events where you can show off your new clothes
lines.你还需要你自己几个商店广告产品往往都是聘请建筑师不像小时,你可以赞助一些活动炫耀你新衣服.
There are even a very few "real world" brands designing clothes for SL
avatars, so the competition is really
increasing...即使有极少数"真正的世界"为品牌的服装设计阿梵澳门,所以比赛真是越来越::

Scripterscripter
Another type of job which does not require any external tool is
scripting.另一工种不需要任何外部工具的脚本. SL has a
built-in language, called Linden Scripting Language LSL , which is used
to "program" all objects to make them react to and interact with
avatars.澳门有一种内在的语言,叫林登脚本语言批量、它是用来"纲要"的所有物体,使它们的反应和互动阿梵.
Scripting is not hard for a professional programmer - it's just another
language to be learned, and it's relatively easy to learn and
master.脚本不难专业程序员--那只是另一种语言来学习,它的相对容易学习和掌握.
However, unlike other jobs, traditionally, you cannot sell scripts
directly - you sell mostly scripted
objects.然而,不同于其他职位,传统上,你不能直接出售剧本-你推销对象大多脚本.
This means that many scripters partner up either with architects or
object builders, and split the profit from scripted
objects.这意味着许多scripters起来要么与建筑师或合伙对象建设者、分裂获利脚本对象.
Experienced scripters will also be very proficient in doing scripts
that reduce lag (which is not obvious for a beginning
scripter).资深scripters也会很精通做剧本,减少滞(即一开始并不明显scripter).
If you can make a reputation from selling a few good scripted objects,
it's not unusual that you may get hired as a free-lancer in a
large-scale
project.如果你能卖几信誉良好脚本对象也就不足为奇,你可以得到免费聘为鬼臼在一个大型项目.
Remember, a large part of SL's population are professional programmers
in RL, so this is a field with lots of competition from
professionals.记住,大部份澳门人口在专业节目rl,所以这是一个人才竞争的领域很多.
As usual, creativity and imagination are the key to
success!一如既往,创造力和想象力是成功的关键!

Animator漫画家
A different job type - which pays well and has almost no competition -
is the
animator.不同工种----自付好,几乎没有竞争的漫画家.
Animations are done on an external program, usually Poser from Curious
Labs - an expensive, semi-professional tool which LL has favoured (you
can use some open-source or free tools like Blender, but you probably
need to tweak the final animation in Poser to import it properly into
SL).动画卡通节目做一个外部通常从好奇难题实验室--一种昂贵、半专业工具,当地也喜欢(你可以用一些开放源码或免费工具如搅拌器、但是你可能需要微调的最后难题动画输入到澳门妥善).
Poser is fun to learn and relatively easy to use for simple
animations.难题是比较容易学习的乐趣,使用简单动画.
Complex, realistic animations like walking or dancing are another
matter entirely - to get good results, you need to use a very expensive
technology called "motion capturing", envolving complex devices and
harnesses and several video
cameras.复杂的、现实的动画一样走路或跳舞,完全是另一回事--争取好成绩你需要使用非常昂贵技术称为"议案攻克"envolving器背带和数台摄像机.
Not unsurprisingly, there are just a handful of good animators in
Second Life, and they can almost get a RL living from the animations
they do (one of the leading dance animators has over 10,000 happy
customers, and each of his animations sells for L$ 350 - and many buy
several!).不奇怪,只是有少数好的漫画家在第二生命他们几乎可以得到他们rl生活从动画(最顶级的舞蹈动画一万快乐顾客其售价为每公升3.5动画和很多买几个!).
This is a very specialized job and one that certainly has lots of room
for new
players!这是一项非常专业的工作,一定有很多人认为新球员的余地!

Event Hoster盛事了早期硫化物
Event hosters are a type of job that has lately suffered from a big
change in SL's economic
model.一旦hosters是一种职业,又遭受了重大变化,澳门的经济模式.
To attract people to your place, the best way is to announce events in
the Events list, where everybody in-world can see the
announcements.你要吸引人的地方,最好的办法是公布事件的事件表人人在全世界看到电视.
Event hosting rely upon your own RL communication skills, your ability
to entertain other people and make them have fun by attending your
events, and the degree of imagination in coming up with new
ideas.一旦申办依靠自己rl沟通技巧你的能力,使其他人招待出席你玩活动与想象的程度,创造了新的思路.
Events can be simple things like discussions - no need for much
preparation!喜欢简单的东西可以讨论盛事-不需要什么准备!
- or highly complex, like a fashion show, a boxing or chess
competition, or a medieval
tournament.-或高度复杂,像时装表演,打拳或象棋比赛,还是中世纪邀请赛.
In the latter cases, it means to coordinate a team of builders and
scripters to create lots of objects that will interact with the people
attending your
event.在后者的情况下,这意味着,协调小组scripters建设者和创造大量的物体,你将会与民众参加活动.
Classes are also a type of event that need some preparation and some
experience in
teaching.班亦属万一需要一些有经验的老师编写.

DJ主持人
A different type of event hoster enriches a certain
environment.另一类事件丰富了早期硫化物某环境. The
typical example is a DJ - streaming life music into a night
club.典型的例子是台主持人-音乐生活流成夜总会. While
almost anybody with a large music collection, a tool like WinAmp and
access to a streaming server like Shoutcast is able to DJ, good DJs
have a talent to entertain people for a few hours by reacting to the
audience's moods and being able to adjust the musical selection
accordingly.而几乎任何一个大型音乐收藏,像winamp的工具和获取了分流像shoutcast服务器能否主持人、唱片骑师有一个好的人才,招待人数小时的反应观众的意境,音乐可以选择相应调整.
Some DJs have their own clubs, other roam SL offering their
talents.有些俱乐部拥有自己的唱片骑师,其他漫游澳门开办潜能.
Other similar jobs are stand-up comediants or trivia event
hosters.其他类似职位立场后续活动剪影comediants或hosters.

Free-lancers & Entrepeneurs自由职业者与企业家

We come now to other types of jobs that use skills which are not
directly related to things in-world but which can be surprisingly
employed to making a
living.我们现在使用其他工种技能没有直接关系的东西--世界但可以用来谋生出乎意料.

Land Baron土地男爵
The first and more obvious one is the real estate agent - also
nicknamed Land Baron by the residents of
SL.更明显的是,第一,代理商也由绰号土地男爵澳门居民.
Land Barons buy land wholesale, either from the auctions or directly,
parcel it out, and announce it for resale - or they act merely as
intermediaries between buyers and sellers, charging a
fee.土地大王批发购买土地,无论从拍卖或直接、包裹出来,并宣布它为转售或为他们的行为只是买方和卖方之间的中介,收费.
It needs good taste to pick up good spots, an understanding of how the
market works and which plots will sell well, and a capacity to
establish an unblemished reputation, in order to make continued
sales.它需要好滋味接好点,如何理解市场工程将适销对路、剧情、皎洁的能力和建立信誉,从而使持续销售.

Some Land Barons rent land instead of
selling.有的土地不是出售土地租金大王. Renting is a good
choice if you don't want to pay tier, just have a Basic account, or
just need a temporary piece of land for some particular
reason.租赁是个不错的选择,如果你不想付出层,只是有一个基本帐户,还是只需要一块土地暂时因某些原因.
There are basically three types of renting.基本上有三种租用.
You can rent un-terraformed land free of buildings, and set up your
place just like you
want.你可以租联合国大厦免费terraformed土地,并开设就像你想你的地方.
Or you can rent some land with the buildings already set up for your
use - like prefab
houses.或者你可以租一些土地与建筑物已设置你使用类组合屋.
The third type is the mall, where you rent very small places to set up
your shops, and expect that the mall owner sets up events and
advertising to attract people to the
mall.第三种是商场,你租很小场所设置您商店并期望商城成立业主事件和吸引人的广告商城.

Linden Dollar Brokers林登兑换经纪人
You also have people making a living by exchanging their L$ for
real-world currency (USD$, Euros, etc), as covered in the Selling L$
for USD$/Purchasing L$ with USD$
topic.您也可以交换他们谋生的人1元为现实世界货币(美元港币,欧元等),盖在卖1美元对港币元/公升港币与美元收购达话题.
Making a profit by buying cheap and selling high is not for the faint
of heart - you're dealing with "real money" and need to have a very
good understanding on how a stock exchange
works.赚钱买高卖廉价不是为微弱心脏你对付"真钱",需要有一个很好的了解如何证券交易所作品.
Other "external" jobs include Web sited which sell SL items and charge
a comission on sales - the best examples being SL Exchange (
http://www.slexchange.com ) and Second Server (
http://www.secondserver.net ) from the Gigas
group.其他"外围"的职位包括网站放置物品,并收取卖到澳门comission销售的最佳例子澳门交流(http://www.slexchange.com)第二服务器(http://www.secondserver.net)从螺组.
In this case, the "job" is completely out of SL, and is just plain
e-Commerce, using Second Life as the marketplace, but using RL tools,
RL programming, and RL advertising (or discussions on the SL forums) to
promote their
business.在这种情况下,"工"完全脱离澳门,简直电子商务用生命作为第二市场,而是用rl工具rl编程广告和rl(或就澳门论坛)以促进其业务.

Unclassified Jobs职位分类

All the rest of the jobs are not so clearly
defined.所有其余的职位并不明确. For instance, you have all
sorts of people organizing companies, groups, associations, even
cartels.例如,你有各种各样的人办公司、团体、协会,甚至卡特尔.
They have skills organizing people
together.他们组织技术人在一起. There are people using their
marketing or advertising skills
in-world.还有人用自己的营销技巧或广告-世界. There even
are lawyers and economists!即使是律师和经济学家存在! All
carve their niches in their Second Lifes, using all sorts of skills
they have IRL, and putting them into
use.其龛各雕二生活形式,利用各种技能他们重构、并投入使用.

Every one of us is talented in a special
way.我们每一个人都是优秀的了. Some of us discover new
talents while in-world.一些人发现新的人才,而在世界. The
trick for having fun in SL, and even earn some money while having fun,
is learning about our own talents and skills, apply our imagination and
creativity, and make the most of
it!在澳门玩乐的招数,甚至在玩乐赚钱、得知自己的才智和技巧,运用我们的想象力和创造力,充分发挥它!
