[antagonist22]

student in college

 

[skinnyguy]

I'm a mop-jockey at a high school, and since I'm the supervisor, that means I'm the HEAD mop-jockey. (translation) I'm the night shift head custodian in a school where the favorite pastime of the students is to see how big of a mess they can make, and how creative it can be. The messes are big, and very creative.

 

[NCLivingBrit]

By day (or night if I'm on night shift) I'm a mild mannered desk monkey for a famous hotel chain.

By night (well, day really but who says fact ruins a cliche?) I clean up poop and pet dogs for gun/ammo money for a local boarding kennel.

If I can ever get my school back home to admit I exist, I want to head back to school and become an RN.

 

[Daedalus7]

I'm an EMT for a state Law Enforcement dept.

 

[FireArmFan]

I'm a full time student in college right now. I work part time but really more like full time hours at Menards in the plumbing department as a sales associate. Not my ideal job, but it's something to bring in the money while i'm going to college. I got offered a job behind the gun counter at gander mountain and turned it down because it was like a 3 dollar an hour pay cut. sometimes i wish i woulda taken it.

Future- hopefully after college i'll start my own business, not sure doing what yet.

 

[10 Ring Tao]

I keep people breathing when they stop, break their ribs when their heart stops, and poke them with needles along the way.

I'm a nice guy, I swear!

 

[ForeignDude]

Officially, I'm a research psychologist for the Army (active duty). In practice, I'm a statistician -- I spend most of my days developing and testing statistical models using soldier psych data.

Now, where did my coffee cup go?

 

[qlajlu]

I wore a badge for 12 years (LEO) and got involved in a shooting where a brother officer was killed. My wife, 7 months pregnant at the time, convinced me that I was not being payed enough for the exposure so I started driving truck. I drove tanker trucks for the next 23 years hauling volatile chemical and petroleum products. She divorced me anyway. The fumes and vapors from the products I hauled took my lungs away from me. (You just couldn't get away from the fumes and vapors). They made me surrender my federal DOT medical card and now I am followed everywhere by a bottle of oxygen and on medical disability.

No, Shifty (post #71), I don't need...or want...your services - not yet anyway.

 

[JackW]

I make the left mouse button. Not the right. Just the left. The right is done at a different factory.

That is a very important and prestigious occupation. Without the left mouse button, how would we get to page 2??? I think we could get by without the right one OK, but take the left one and we're doomed!!

Back to the topic........Another IT geek, for a ginormous global 'puter company

 

[TheDisturbed1]

I am a high school student soon to enter his senior year.

after that, its the U.S. Army...
been meeting with a recruiter a few times getting everything started

 

[jeepmor]

Semiconductors

I'm an integrator and failure analyst.

Integration - we put the plans together that make the chips (processors and support chips for the PCs your hacking away right now) Hint-not AMD

Failure Analyst - I cut apart and figure out where our fab process went wrong. Transistors, metal lines, bond pads and stuff like that. This part is actually fun. What I do in this regards you cannot even see through an optical microscope most times. 10 microns is HUGE in this end of the business. All the work I've done in the past 7 years in this part of the job would fit under your fingernail with room to spare.

Translation - I can run powerpoint like a MadMan!!!

Our big problems are really quite small, kinda like life in general after some time passes.
