I like Jodi and I don’t know why. She doesn’t seem to think that people like me exist (conservative atheist).
KCB615 wouldn’t be like kmg365 would it?
I graduated from college with a BA in psychology in December. Now, I’m working as a library slave for one of my favorite professors, and volunteering as a TA for the introductory psychology courses. On the weekends, I volunteer teaching English to Chinese immigrants at the local CFS. I’m contemplating graduate school. It’s just a matter of where and when.
I’m also the resident Mac freak, pool shark, and baseball nut.
And I have no idea how this all wound up on your thread?
Disc jockey, producer, music director at a modern adult contemporary formatted radio station.
If you check my homepage and click on “Listen” you can here me jock most nights from midnight to 6 AM eastern time. I also do middays on the weekends. I am not on the air tonight as I have a cold. I am on-line though . . . so don’t get too close to the monitor I don’t want any of my SD friends catching this.
aaaaaahchooooo, sniff
Oh, and no, I am not “NothingMan” on the air. I do take requests though. 
Musician–electric guitarist. Write, perform, record mostly rock/fusion but delve into jazz, funk, classical,
country and other genres. My true passion in life is making music.
College Student–Computer Science Major (halfway through).
Construction worker–Operate heavy-duty machinery (dumptrucks, backhoes, bobcats, trenchers, chainsaws)
+manual labor, locating underground utility lines, hauling, shooting grades, installing/repairing drainfields, silt basins for lakes, digging footers, foundation prep, grading lots, clearing, roadway work, directing traffic (sometimes), driveway work, and spillways (I think that’s most of it). I love the work, get paid well and tax free, work outside (in different places constantly), and get plenty of exercise. I’ve been working construction for 5 years, and my dad owns the company.
Hi all! Newbie here…
I’m in Internet Marketing (nice, vague industry). Basically run client services for the company.
What I really do a lot of research. Yeah, research. Like I’m doing right now. I find that lately no matter who the client is Straight Dopers are their target audience.
So I must spend hours here.
Each day.
Researching.
architect–
–the original sort, not the new “information” sort, though most of my work these days is for .com startup officespace.
(someone mention AutoCAD?)
Have two years of college under my belt. Decided to take a break for awhile and am now a Police Dispatcher/911 Operator. I am also a “full access” crime computer operator (which is what the poor saps that have to enter junk in and take junk out of TCIC/NCIC are called). I have also learned not to trust the media, they rarely get stuff right. It’s funny to read the paper the day after a “big event” and see how the papers mangle the story from what really happened LOL and…ive learned to be bitter (just got reflective, sorry!)
Me neither.
I am a Field Medical Skills Instructor. Currently working in the United Arab Emirates. I teach military medics how to save treat wounded people and not got killed themselfs. Also teach doctors and nurses how to do their job in the field under fire.
Yet another computer geek checking in. Tech Support/Comp. Operations for a division of a Very Large Hospitality Corporation.
And Welfy, I, too, have spent time in the pay of Cyrius Cybernetics Corporation…
Whoooo! Gotta help out that poor blue-collar construction worker! Too many white-collars in here! I’m your totally essential WASTE TREATMENT OPERATOR! Now, that’s show-biz! Oops, gotta dip the bugs & pull some samples.
Well, me and my cousin, Elmo McWetzelstein, run this armadillo farm…
I’m the computer tech for the Adult Learning division of a technical college. Our division is funded by state and local grants; we don’t charge fees from our students. You can imagine the amount of paperwork that generates. When I started, the division was just starting to make use of spreadsheets, but they were adding numbers on a calculator before inputting them on the sheet! Needless to say, I soon became god-like.
What a great job. Especial now that I’ve automated all the report processing to leave me plenty of time for the SDMB.
I must add this: I wish I’d read a thread like this when I was 21 and wondering “What I’d do with the rest of my life.” I was rather locked into the set of straightforward possibilities you see on Sesame Street (Doctor! Lawyer! Nurse! Teacher! Grocer! Banker! etc) and had no idea of the variety of jobs and careers out there. It would have been reassuring.
I can’t even EXPLAIN my job in less than a paragraph. My husband’s job, either.
I am a Technical Support Engineer for one of the largest companies in the frequency control industry.
Land use and planning consultant with a Virginia State agency.
Lots and lots of holidays (“Sorry, our office will be closed on Arbor Day.”)
What I am: Staff programmer/analyst for largest European helicopter manufacturer(well, US subsidiary).
What I actually do: Maintain, develop & troubleshoot programs for our ERP system, and also deal with user problems of various types relating to it.
If I were the woman this line would really be golden, but I’m not and I’m going to use it anyways.
ssskuggiii, I think I have a opening for you!
Anyways, I’m a Systems Developer for a Chicago based Internet Start-Up. Since its a start-up my job description isn’t very tightly defined, which is how I like it. I do everything from Web Design, ASP, Database Administration, VB and C/C++ coding, Sales, Acquisitions, QA and some grunt work assembling office equipment and setting up computer hardware. Its fun. Oh, and I’m a part-time commuter, 2.5 hrs a day.
Male stripper for bachelorette parties, and part time gigolo.
Wait…this is real life?
Damn. I liked the other better.
I’m a channel sales manager for a data local exchange carrier.
