So, what do you do for a living? (1 Viewer)

Brad, you said:

I'm a writer with Apple. I'm a contractor, not an employee, but it's still a great job.

I am SO jealous! I used to work for Apple as a student representative in grad school. It was a fantastic job. And the software deals were sweet, too. What I wouldn't give to work for them now!

All right, I'll bite. I'm a Logistics Project Manager for Volvo Logistics North America here in Greensboro, NC. I deal daily with transportation, supply chain management and other logistics areas at our manufacturing plants...

Not as cool sounding as some of you, but hey, I'm only 29.

Spare time devoted to fly-fishing, mountain biking, messing around with the PC, reading, my home theater, and a little bit of time with the wife:>)

I (usually) manage food and beverage outlets at resorts and country clubs. Unfortunately right now I am looking for a job. The last location I worked at will be on TV this weekend and is well respected. I have had the opportunity to meet alot of famous people, but its dealing with and entertaining everyday people that makes my job enjoyable. The money there was good and I was able to spend alot of time outdoors.
The company lost alot of big corporate groups and saw many cancellations directly and indirectly related to the 9/11 events. It was already a bad year. Hence the unemployment.
I really don't care where I work as long as the money is good and I get to enjoy life.
I guess with a few exceptions, like convenience store clerk in a populated area (a "most dangerous job in the country"), and any job that is based on fooling people.

Happily employed as a network administrator for a hospital. Manage all network infrastructure and server related issues. Having never been to college I am very fortunate to have come as far as I have on my experience and those little pieces of paper that tell other people I think I know what I am doing... er I mean certifications. But computers have been part of my life since I was 8 when my dad brought home a Radio Shack TRS-80 model III. And the rest is history.

[Jason Handy]

I am an environmental noise consultant - basically this means I design and implement noise barriers for properties along highways. Most of my work involves the state of Virginia, but hopefully that will change sometime soon.
The work is severely unchallenging but my boss is great and I get to surf the internet all day .
I recently applied for a job to write neural network algorithms for guidance systems in missiles and aircraft. They haven't called me back yet though .
Before this I used to decapitate frogs and study the proteins in their eyes, but the biochemistry field is too crowded these days with everybody searching for a cure to life.

[Kevin T]

i'm a child welfare social service caseworker for the alabama department of human resources. basically i'm a social worker but since my degree isn't in social work, i get the pay but not the title. i work in what's termed the "in home" division where i provide services to children and clients in order to prevent the children from being placed in foster care or i work towards reunification with families for the children outside of their family but not yet in foster care. the work can be very rewarding at times but a total disappointment at others. so goes the world of social reform. the pay isn't great but somebody has to do it.

Ha!
When I started this thread I was an EE student. Now I am proud to say that I design test fixtures for elevator controller boards, for this major elevator (duh...) company
OK, OK, techinically I am not there yet, I start on wednesday :b
Given how hard things are these days, I guess I am extremely lucky to have actually secured a position before I graduated.
