Just curious as to everyone here does for a living or for school.
I'll start:

I am a systems engineer for a reseller here in NYC. We deal with all kinds of technologies but mainly NLE's like Avid and Final Cut. I deal with tech support, calibration, system builds, storage solutions, cable termination and doodling on the tech bench.

Like I said in my post, I am going to be  T.E. Mail Carrier at a post office near me.  I get 19 an hour for delivering mail and im contracted for a whole year.  Was working towards an office or tech job but I don't have the networking skills to find an "In".  But this job is going to work out just fine.

Commercial Appraiser - Ironically using the skills from both my Journalism and Finance schooling.  I'm mostly just doing it to get some experience in Real Estate, I really am starting to hate it and am keeping an eye out for other occupations and the possibility of becoming an entrepreneur.

Professional slacker. I'll graduate in December (with a MechE degree hopefully...) and from there, I'm thinking of either working in Big Oil to retire early, Hasbro to make something fun, or just sticking with robotics and hoping I can make something in it.

That's what I've been since graduating from high school last year. Unfortunately, I didn't make much money at it. So...I just got a job at a research call center working second shift. The good thing is that I'm getting paid. The bad thing is that I won't be in the server very often. :'( I'm hoping to find a first shift job within a couple of months though.

I'm a merchandise assistant for Microcenter <www.microcenter.com>. I work with the motherboards, memory, and flash buyer to bring in new products and renegotiate better pricing with our current vendors. The job doesn't pay as much as it should, but I slack off so much and the employee discount is so wicked it makes up for it. Plus I can occasionally score free samples of some really cool stuff like this:

But I just graduated from OSU with a degree in Actuarial Science so I'll be looking for a new job more aligned with my field of study soon.

I'm gonna be a student for the next very long while, on and off.  ATM, I just work as a transporter at a hospital (move patients to tests, to rooms, etc. - gotta get them in and out of bed though) 30-40 hours a week depending.  Gets me insurance and I do all right at 16.18 an hour.  Gonna be in nursing school in the fall and work 20 hours a week for 2 years.  Then I'm gonna be a nurse and work for about 2 years doing neuro then ICU, hopefully.  I'll probably finish off the BSN during that time.  Then I'm gonna apply for anesthetist school.  You can't work during that.  Loans FTW!  That'll take about 3 years.  I'll be happy if I'm 38 and starting as a Nurse anesthetist Tongue

I'm finishing up the 1 fucking elective i need for my Engineering Physics degree, and since that pushes them giving me my papers back till august, I'm also doing research in the physics department over the summer.  I'm also a student employee for the Physical Facilities department at my university, I do IS work, basically support staff/occasional special project.  Currently looking for employment in August.  Anyone need a physics guy who can code too?

I've got the world's mose useless degree, and work whatever crappy retail/warehouse jobs I can get.  Despite my technical proffeciency, I never thought to get a normal degree that would get me a real job.  So that makes me the resident failure =D.

High-school student until the 13th of June. Then traveling Europe (not really a career, though it should be). Then coming back home to four years at Western Carolina University on a $26,000... thing. I teach for four years and consider it repaid. Majoring in English. Language, bitches!

I'm a 3rd year graduate student getting my Ph.D in cognitive science right now, doing research on visual memory, spatial perception, and motor response cognition.  I guess that makes me the only person doing graduate work over here so far, which is too bad as you get a lot more free time than one might expect and i get paid to do research i care about.  Win win if you ask me.
