What do we do for jobs?

Guess I'm late on this thread, but here goes anyway.

I'm enlisted in the United States Army, I've done a multitude of work, but originally enlisted into Airborne, and became a Medic, (68W). I later went to a few schools at Ft. Bragg, Eglin AFB, and Monterey, Most notably the Defense Language Institute (DLI) in Monterey California. I'm currently working as an instructor at Eglin AFB in Florida.

I hold an associates in Applied Science, and a BA in Nursing, hold a Nursing License in the state of FL, and NC, as well as a Paramedic Certification in FL, and NC.

Wow, great thread; can't believe I missed it the first time.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer, currently working for a software company that creates products for non-profits. I've been doing some sort of programming since I was in the 5th grade (Commodore 64 BASIC FTW!). I really love what I do but I'm really itching to start off on my own. The whole Serial Entrepreneur is really intriguing to me. I've thought of doing similar things with online businesses; buying up struggling sites, improving them, making them profitable and selling them off. In 13 years of professional development, I've seen "management" ruin tech based companies more times that I can count.

EDIT: Oh, I dropped out of college too (GO HOKIES!). Low 6 figure income. It seems a lot of us got lucky and rewarded for playing on the computer all those younger years

24, still in college (IT), still working retail. If that doesn't scream failure I don't know what does.

Anyone in the DC area want to give me a tech job? inch:

I work full time for a cable company in the technical operations department as a dispatcher. I'm going to school online full time. It's nice that I can use my WoW gameplay for some homework assignments. I'm studying for a degree in Game and Simulation Programming.

Running a game store here, set it up 4 months ago, and moving to my second store within 2 months. Basicly I sell anything from Xbox 360 to WoW action figures. Having alot of Xbox 1, Gamecube, Dreamcast and Nintendo games for all their consoles, makes it the place to be for gamers...

And yeah making more then enough to pay for 6 WoW's and everything that comes with multi-boxing :thumbsup:

edit: But to keep the anti-MB community happy: "zomg I gotz riches parrants whoes payz my wow's and I be selling gold lotz and also charrakkterz!"

I was thinking of starting my own gaming store. How is it? Good income?

Really, Im a pharmacist, but my dad always thought it was funny telling people that I was a drug dealer.

I would have missed this thread, otherwise. I am currently an MBAstudent, having finishedmy BS in April. I work in cardiology, specifically as a cardiovascular and electrophysiology technologist. (I am well versed in the plumbing and electrical system of the heart.) Now almost 37, I have been an EMT, firefighter, bouncer, security guard, Penguin's Yogurt guy, boat washer, property inspector, contractor helper on kitchens and baths, salesman for Earthlink,... that may be all.

Looking for a career change. Anybody have any affiliation with medical device sales specific to vascular or cardiac pacing in Los Angeles Area.

Nice to get to hear from so many people.

I am an active duty Marine. My Primary job is as a Communications Electronics Technician. Sounds really fancy but basically it's component troubleshooting, ordering replacement parts, and basic repairs. All of the component problems usually get sent to a maintenance warehouse where someone smarter then me fixes them.

I am currently the Training Chief for about 800 Marines. (ie I ensure they are up-to-date in all annual training requirements) (Schedule new training events, etc)

I have about 7 years in the service, and I have been tossing around the idea of getting out and following a career more closely related to the things I love to do (Computers, WoW, Design, etc.)

Sadly I have no degree, but have managed to accumulate quite a few credits lol

I'm from KCMO as well (Platte County).
