What do you do for a living?

[Iron Mike]

OK, since we have a good thread going on "How Old Are You and Where From" let's just go on ahead with the next logical question--"What do you do for a living?"

I'm an investigator for the Medical Examiner's Office. Today I assisted with this case: http://www.postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060822/APC0101/608220573/1979

I'm a Residential Loan Officer in Jefferson County; market slow here as well. Rough for the Mortgage Loan Originators and Realtors.

BlueBrewer, do you have a relationship with a Mortgage Loan Originator who you refer your home buyers too when they need financing ?


Cheers,

I am friends with a few in the area, I just recommend them all and let the buyer decide, that way I don't look like I am playing favorites. One with Johnson Bank, one with Bank of the West, and one with Bankers Home Mortgage.

I am a full time student. I just quit my summer job because I have a really hard semester ahead of me. I will get another part time job in the winter because in the spring I plan on only taking 15 creidts instead of 19 this semester. BTW, my job that am quitting is BJ's wholesale culb (it's another verision of sam's club if that helps).

[digitaldean]

Work 2 jobs
1.) Work for graphics company preparing graphic design files for printing for packaging (mainly folding cartons, catalogs, flexible packaging - bags, labels, wrappers, etc.)

2.) Freelance in web development and print production for a publication company. Nothing real big, but it's steady work and pays the bills.

Beats my previous part time job... slinging drinks.

I'm a full time student in Middle School and I work part time at my golf course. I can't wait till high school so I can actually do something interesting, middle school is a bore.

I am a summer intern for a financial processing firm. We provide the backbone and infrastructure for brokerage firms.

During the school year, I am pretty much a bum and a student of EE/SE. Taking 17 credits this semester and hopefully landing a job on campus of at best buy in dubuque iowa.

Speaking of which, if anyone can hook me up with a job in southwestern wisconsin or in dubuque, i'm a diligent worker and very friendly person and am always looking for a part time opportunity!!

[FavreChild]

Hello....lingo!! What is that, engineering?

Good job networking, though. Best skill to learn - any field.

Yep, electrical engineering and software engineering. My emphasis is in computers, so its more of just a really geeky major.

[FavreChild]

It is *not* a geeky major...until you start referring to it in acronyms and other technical lingo.... :wink:

I have a side business with a website where I sell some stuff but not sure if it's appropriate to link to it. Moderators? Input here?

[Badgepack]

Recently, it seems I get paid to read/post at Packerrats.com.
I really need to stay off this site when at work, at least cut back.

I'm an engineer. I design next generation high efficiency engines. I had a contract to build my engine, but the labor union's demands were absurd, so I closed my factory and moved it to a Valley in Colorado. I enclosed the valley with a cloak of invisibility from an emitter that I developed.

I also give 90 page speeches on metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, broadcast over the radio.

Me, I'm a heathcare consultant - on the financial side of hospitals. Redesigning access points, insurance, billing, collections, etc with our software - so a mix of process engineering, finance and a little IT.

A.) I'm currently employed as a tier2 technical support engineer for a major sofware company in the SEATTLE area. (Wink, wink - nudge nudge) (Company policy prohibits me from using their name on here while I'm at work.)

B.) To balance the geek quotient that the above requires I'm also an audio engineer (think recording studio) and I play guitar in a thrash metal band. Niether of which come remotely close to paying enough to survive, which is why point A.) is a part of my life.

[mission]

i own a sports marketing firm that doesnt promotional advertising for sports teams and golf courses here in atlanta. it's a good gig.

it was rocking in milwaukee but the market here is a lot tougher from a consumer sales perspective. im thinking about walking away with the cash i have left, take a commission sales job at guitar center (for the gear discounts!) and this minimum wage engineering asst. at ben allen's maze studios and just enjoying life/music rather than trying to get rich. 80 hours a week drags on you after awhile.

i figure between my girl and i if we can pull in 80gs then things will be just fine. entrepreneurialism is kicking my ass right now. :neutral:

No, but maybe all those knock-off Nikes and Gucci purses you find at flea markets.

A few weeks ago a ring of people were busted for bringing in millions in imitation products (Nike, Disney, you name it) and a few of those people were Licensed Customs Brokers like myself. Real stupid people. To become a LCB first you pass a test of course that has around a 10% pass rate and can only take it twice a year and once you pass CBP fingerprints you, does a background check on you, etc, etc. Your pretty much in the gov't system for good. An intentional Error and Omission error with CBP can bring a $10,000 fine per occurance plus jail time, and they did hundreds of false entries of goods. These people were basically stupid fucks!

I don't work for the feds. I work for freight companies that move freight by rail, ocean, and air. You can get a job working for CBP, but for me that doesn't pay enough. You can go to school and study supply chain management or international trade, but the best schooling for this is learning on the job. That's the route I took. I never planned on doing this for a living, but more or less fell into it and it's done well for me.
