What is it that you do for a living?

[Margo]

Any immigration officers in the UK by any chance? Or employers in media or IT ready to give a work permit, for that matter?

 

[Galante]

I\'m a travel agent, but don\'t know for how long - got a new job, and things aren\'t working out that well.
I also worked in a few bars years ago, as a part-time.

Now, I\'m very intrigued by this:

I would bet, to some degree we\'re all getting paid to either take it or dish it out every day... I would like to think I\'m usually the one dishing it...but today I think I\'m on the other end...

 

[Mentor]

I\'m a criminologist, with a specialization in national security policy. I\'m currently polishing off my MA, and with the intention of going for my doctorate next year. In the meantime, I do some policy analysis, and I\'m one of the chairs of a national security working group.

I was a redshirt at GW for four years during my undergraduate though.

Cheers,

Mike

Yup! Planted trees, pruned and trimmed trees, harvested trees, baled them and shipped them off to wholesalers.
Incredibly boring work but in a beautiful setting 225 acres of side hill. Georgeous view down the valley. Absolutelyl zero pressure. For the most part just me and the deer and other forest denizens Didn\'t pay for s*&t. but I was in high school, so...

 

[Avelorn]

I\'ve studied Pholosophy and economic history at the university. I work part-time as a personal assistant for disabled peolpe and in the summers as a gardener.

I\'ve also undertaken a course in filmproduction.. and have worked as a first-assistant director, sound recording engineer and art-director on a coulpe of short-movies.

I find this topic very interesting.. it really brings life to all these tiny avatars..

That reminds me of my high school job. I could claim I was a genetic engineer!

I worked for a seed company that raised hybrid corn varieties. We went out in the cornfield and emasculated the corn so only the desired varieties could cross-pollinate.

I just like imagining all you guys squirming when I said \"emasculate\". :innocent:

 

[Propaintjob]

I own a wargames shop and paint freelance. Very cool but very hard work too

Hrrrrr!

Uhm, not many jobs avaible too me. I have been on a paper route 3 times.. first time the paper got bankrupt(got my last paycheck one year after !!) then the last 2 times I got fed up)
But the city of Reykjavik offers all 14-16 year olds in the city jobs with the city, cutting grass, cleaning up stuff. Last year I worked in the local football arena..:|~ Cleaning 10 thousand seats for a whole day with 3 other guys is not fun.
But i\'ll soon get money for painting 2000points of high elves.. if you can call that a job lol

 

[tidoco2222]

I work for the Railway, A railway signalling engineer to be more precise. My job involves the repainring of signalling equipment/systems when they fail. Basically we find the faults and repair them. I have been involved in major signalling renewal schemes/comissionings and also signalling failure ivestigations these are different to your everyday fault as these when they occur can have serious potentially life threatening circumstances e.g. Clapham.

Actually I am Computer Operator in a biiiiig spanish petro-chemical company.

This means that I spend 8 hours a day in front of several computer screens, surfing in the internet, waiting for a problem to happen and when it happens I suddenly leave my state of semi-unconsciousness and start a small period of frenzy working until the problem is fixed, and then the cycle begins again.

Before this exciting job, I´ve had some other jobs, also related to the electronics and computers...
