Former computer network tech (back in the OS/2 token ring days), theater techie, contractor, and videographer, currently designing physics demonstrations at a large public university whilst studying geology.
I also fancy myself as something of an artist, but I have been remarkably non-productive lately.
My official title is “co-ordinator,” but that’s just because it’s too long to say personal assistant to the president, accounting assistant (emphasis on accounts payable), and purchasing assistant #2. Some days, I want to have three brightly colored ball caps so I can switch off when I’m busy. Other days, I do this.
I also open mail, send mail, send faxes, copy 3" binders full of drawings (and color on them), take deposits to the bank, make coffee … you know.
I usually describe myself as “general office bitch” to anyone who will appreciate that humor. It’s not a glorious job, put it pays better than anything I’ve done so far (I’m only 23); I work M-F 9-5; plus, I get vacation, sick days, personal days, and paid holidays; AND free benefits (medical, dental, vision, and life insurance).
But I work with my mother-in-law. :eek:
Assistant Manager at a " Quick Service Restaurant".
The one with the clown for a spokesman.
I’ve been in the restaurant trade for twenty years, and that’s why I’m currently a part time student.
With any luck I’ll soon be a full time student.
I’ll weigh in as another Prof. I instruct the youth who get into my school about the goings on with-in our brain.

Mostly I’ve worked as an ornithologist and tropical biologist. Most recently I’ve been doing bird surveys as part of a big biodiversity inventory project in Gabon, Central Africa. Previously I’ve done bird surveys in Panama and Peru. And I do a lot of unpaid work promoting bird conservation here in Panama.
My newest job is that I’ve just signed on to be the chief curator for exhibitions for a new museum of biodiversity planned to open in Panama in 2006.
I also do consulting on ecotourism development in the tropics. Plus writing and editing.
