What do you do for a living?

Make it one more veterinarian, specialized in psychiatry.
MYOG projects always show that I am used to sew only biological materials.

I own a custom frame shop where I also sell chainmail jewelry and accessories and Japanese bento boxes and all the accessories that go with packing bento meals.

I also do a bunch of little stuff here and there, and have hobbies that take up the rest of my time, along with my zoo and my husband.

According to a letter I received in the mail today, I am an attorney (I passed the Bar! woot woot!)

But like many fellow gear nerds, I used to be an accountant/consultant.

Congrats Konrad! I take it you took it in Mass. (maybe?) since the poor saps here still have to wait another month for results.

Software developer…surprise!

Congrats, K-man! The good fruits of your labor, eh? Way to go…

My degree is in Electrical Engineering, but since I'm not a PE the company I work for calls me a Technology Specialist. We do most M/E/P consulting work, but my group specializes in low voltage system: CATV, data, and security mostly.

I cut people and play with firearms…

Dismal Failure Apprentice

I have a degree in synthetic organic chemistry and have worked as a process and medicinal chemist my whole life. If I haven't missed something, I'm the first chemist in this group. I'm really surprised to not see more chemists, especially process research chemists. They usually fit the Myers-Briggs profile.

The job market for senior people in chemistry in the US currently sucks. I've been out of work and doing a bit of consulting for 2 years. If anyone knows of someone who needs a senior chemist as a consultant or full time, please PM me. Thanks.

I teach high school English, specializing in writing intervention. Somehow, I still get really excited about spreadsheets.

My organization provides Dean with the means by which he can cut people and a place to hide when others are playing with firearms. I tell people about it.

All these questions around here are so difficult, wow, is that a red-wing blackbird out there? I currently try to convert other people's money into gimongous data server farms so we all can keep playing in the digital sandbox, the neighbor's cat always used my son's sandbox and I still feel kind of bad about his being exposed to all that…after awhile things just became landscape features for his little cars to zoom over.
I also build bicycle frames but this is a passion not a way to make a living, anybody remember Jethro Tull's "Lving in the Past?" All that flute playing, geez,I got to order a pile of Flute meters for the field guys to lose, bye.

I play with mud and burn things. I also teach teenagers and adults how to play with mud and burn things. I've been playing with mud and burning things since I was about 4 years old- I used to get into a lot of trouble for it. Fortunately, I've found a way to market my skills with mud and fire.

Wow, I guess I am the minority.

I am an Acquisitions Specialist for a commercial real estate owner that buys and owns grocery anchored shopping centers. I look for and analyze more shopping centers to buy.

self employed for the past 16yrs
graphic designer, web designer, event planner, social networking

Electrical Engineer.

I'm self-employed as the owner of a graphic design/media company. I design websites and other graphic materials for clients but also own http://www.outdooradventurecanada.com. On the side I write, as many of you know, wilderness cookbooks for backpackers and paddlers.

I work from home these days because that gives me the greatest flexibility between career and motherhood.

PS My husband is a Technical Service Engineer in the aerospace and automotive sectors. Geek.

I work at an outdoor store specializing in snow-sports as a sales associate. I am also the resident IT guy, webmaster, Online Marketing manager and shipping and receiving guy.

I am a civil/mining engineer.

Edited because it's Friday and I forget what it is I do.

I supply an indigent urban population with delicious liquid coping skills.
Surprisingly, this is not as fulfilling of a career as it sounds. So I also pursue a degree in Philosophy and Linguistics.

Watch it now! We are NOT indigents! We are just out on our coffee break and looking for a little MD2020 to go with our coffee:)

I currently reside in Melbourne, Australia where for the last 20 years or so I've installed fire sprinkler systems – (Fire protection engineer ?). I'm about to relocate to Nashville, Tenn and hopefully gain work as a guitar picker/ musician. There's always the trade to fall back on….. Regards.

I work for NOLS in the summer and teach skiing all winter, this year in the Tetons.

Interesting thread!

I'm a software developer for a grocery retailer.
