This topic comes to mind because I'm starting a new job next week. It's just going to be a tech support/ customer service type gig. I aspire for soooooo much more in a career, but it's alright for now.

So I am wondering, what types of jobs/ careers do you all have?

I run an embroidery shop here in Canada.

Its a pretty good gig, nice and laid back and I am the boss.

 

I actually have a website that is currently under construction.

You folks can check it out if you like.

Be kind, it is incomplete and not being built by me.

I'm a software engineer/programmer/full stack web developer/whatever you want to call it (it has so many names that I'm not even sure what to call it). I've been doing it professionally for a year and a half. It's a pretty nice setup, real laid back and casual.

 

Good luck on your new job. 

Thank you! Yours sounds pretty great.

I'm an audio visual technician contracting for a large pharmaceutical company.  I also write a blog(http://www.beagamecharacter.com) and co-own a martial arts dojo(http://www.risingfistmartialarts.com).  The A/V job will be ending in June-ish, at which point I'm hoping to make the transition to writing and teaching martial arts as my full time gigs.

Oh, so when you watch kids it's a profession but when I do it it's paedophilia.

I'm a professional student. And I strip down at the bars on Saturdays.

 

I'm a computer engineering student, probably going towards a robotics career path since I love this work term so much. I'd love to work with NASA or the CSA, that's where I want to see myself in a few years time.

That's an intense title, you /are/ information technology.

 And I strip down at the bars on Saturdays.

I'd totally do that if I had the confidence.

I'd totally do that if I had the confidence.
