*ponders tag*
I poke numbers for a game company. Sometimes they dance, sometimes they flop about a bit.
The editors also occasionally let me peek over their shoulders and point at a comma.
Self-titled "Inventory Distribution Manager" for a small warehouse for an independant resort company on the East Coast. I have two flunkies whom I am nominally 'in charge' of that work several hours' drive away north and south of me. And about 4,200 sq ft of space that gets wasted 'cause the warehouse was formerly a telemarketing office, so you can imagine how efficient the space is layed out to accomplish the task it is now set to use for...
Previously, I've done a .. variety, shall we say, of various jobs. Thankfully, despite the crappy (read: long) hours, the pay isn't bad for a ~high skewl gradumate~ with as much 'self-taught' learning as 'on paper' learning.
Electrical engineer - I develop software for testing telecommunications products.

Police Dispatch Supervisor.Ah . . . . Rookseye . . . you have what I've decided would be my dream job . . .
Sadly . . I'm an insurance agent (which is still fairly entertaining . . . what? you mean your job doesn't entertain you? Why are you forcing yourself to do it?)
I have to say Will, one of the best parts about the job is that things are different EVERY day, and by different, I mean DIFFERENT. You always have an interesting story or two by the end of the week.
Corporate IT drone for a publishing company.
For now I work at a fairly nice restaurant, currently the cook for the evening shift on the week and the morning on Saturdays. Although it is a nice feeling to be WAY smarter then the General Manager (who I swear has several levels in Dumb Ass).
...At least no politicians...
That is interesting.
I'm a financial planner in Montreal ( Quebec, Canada). Don't ask me what the job consist of, I haven't started yet !

I was president of National Honor Society at my High school...
But now I am shipping manager for a Christian Bookstore. If I divulged anymore information I would probably be unemployed...
When I finish college, (I'm on the married, ten year plan) I will be the world's greatest Chemist.
I posted what I do above. This is for the unemployed or out of luck among you.
Asia is the land of milk and honey. Any of the populous and exploding economies here have lots of room for anyone with a degree or who can convincingly fake one. Yes, they are mostly teaching jobs or editing, but the pay is usually very good and you can work up a nest egg of capital until your income from stocks and shares and funds on what you squirrel away can support you.
I love Asia and I love having enough money that I can stop worrying about money and worry about time instead. I work four or five hours a day and make about US$1850 a month. Tax here in Taiwan is 6%. I can save more than 2/3 of my salary a month and invest it.
My mother is a live in caregiver in the UK now. She does not need to worry about rent and makes more than I do, although her hours are erratic and she is on call at all times.
There are always places in a global economy. Even if there are none on your patch of sun on the globe.
Consulting hydrogeologist. It sounds cool, but in practice, my job boils down to cleaning up other people's messes.
I have to say Will, one of the best parts about the job is that things are different EVERY day, and by different, I mean DIFFERENT. You always have an interesting story or two by the end of the week.
That's part of the reason why I think it'd be a cool job. I first considered it as something that'd be cool while I was working for a security alarm monitoring company. I get a burglary signal from a client, I call you guys up. One night when it was slow, I pondered what other type of calls you guys get . . and figured it'd be just an amazing job to have.
Ah well.
pianist. I play for ballet classes, church services, and banquets. Not a bad job, considering I'm 15, and people are willing to pay you 50 dollars for half an hour of piano.
Another attorney here....(consumer bankruptcy)
Garjen, what District are you in? I'm a Case Administrator at the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon. I'm also 1 of the 2 resident ECF (electronic case filing) instructors.
Ummm. I just eat things. Lots of things really. Though I do prefer the delectable humanoid morsels. So sweet and juicy!
I'm a stay at home Dad.
I've been at it for over 5 years (so now that they are getting into school it boils down to a part time WoW player, part time D&D DM (make sure the campaign is ready for Sunday), but make sure supper is on the table and the wife and kids have clean cloths for tomorrow).
Not a bad life, if you can get it. :-)
I'm a dogf##*er. The money's not half bad, the work is easy... someone's gotta do it.

Official "title" is Sr Help Desk Representative in IT/IS (take your pick) at a hospital. But things are changing so I'm not sure what the hell I'll end up doing.
I don't actually take calls anymore but I "build" access for doctors, their office staff, university nursing students/instructors and vendors, in our main software system. Plus issue remote access tokens to same as above and facility/partnership employees.
OH, and if you're interested, the changes include us hiring 2 or 3 more Help Desk techs if anyone wants to move to Austin, Texas or already lives there & wants an IT job that doesn't ever envolve large layoffs (ie Dell, IBM, Motorola, etc).
Claims adjuster. I manage litigation against people and businesses.

Cage and Credit manager at a casino. Also, local level politician (City Council).
Thou'rt evil sir! From hell's heart, I stab at thee!

I knit.......................Yes, you read that right....................You can stop laughing now. It's a weird job, but I'm desperate for money, and people pay a lot for hand-knitted mittens.
My firm works a lot with claims adjusters, we do a lot of insurance defense work.
LOL! Do we know each other in real life? Can you PM on these boards? :D
