WOW... by chance have I put any of you to work? :P

I am a Technical Recruiter/Accounts Manager for an IT Consulting firm.

If you need a job look me up I am sure I can find something good for a fellow boxer.

I just cant believe this topic has gotten this big this fast. Day 1 it had 4-5 pages lol. Very diverse career topics

Is it only me who's not entirely surprised that a lot of us work as "technologists"? I thought we would have had a lot of people who worked in IT, but I had no idea of the hugely diverse skill set available to us Multiboxers :-D

I'm certainly not surprised that a lot of us are "technologists". Who else in their right mind would set up 5 computers for 1 game... or even think of running 5 clients off 1 PC?

I am not very surprised really. I assumed a broad yet geeky inclined user base. Your average burger slinger isn't *likely* to have the capital and mental resources to figure all of this out.

Well, I think that misses the point a little. We have a ton of IT-related fields in here, but where is the Human Resources Exec? Where is the Fund Manager? Where is the Civil Engineer?

PhD candidate, studying Computer Science, specifically Bioinformatics. I make 10k per year (that's no typo, 10k per year) after student fees with my research assistantship. Basically, I write my own custom data mining tools in C# to be used on protein networks and ontologies. The actual work and the flexible schedule are nice, but I would have done something different if I had to do it all over again.

haha, grad school, good times. Before I split on my PhD, I was making 19k a year-- a while ago admittedly -- however, that's for living in Cambridge, MA, which could well be worse than 10k/yr. I knew people who lived in people's attics, and still the rent wasn't cheap. Somehow, though, I didn't think it was a big deal.
