Stage actress and full time frustrated grad student, service-dog trainer for fun. 
All-purpose computer geek at a teaching hospital. Which involves pretty much everything from hardware work, networking, web design, and database building. Fun stuff.
Doctors are fun to work with, but I wouldn’t want to be one.
What I do want to be is CrankyAsAnOldMan. That’s the job for me. Wow. How’d you get into that?
I work for a major US department store chain as a supervisor in customer service. That sounds a lot fancier than it really is. What I actually do is make sure the cashiers aren’t screwing around.
Editor of Medical Journals.
For fun I sing tenor in a church choir.
I support myself as an accountant for a rail company, a data entry person for a bookstore, a lab assistant and a tutor.
My dream is to become an epidemiologist.
Senior Support Analyst in the Tech Ops/Tech Support department of a Major Hospitality Corporation. Which means I get to do a lot of things, from AIX/HP-UX type UNIX stuff, to PICK stuff, to low level NT/Exchange administration, to PC hardware/network/software troubleshooting, to generally anything to do with Information Technology. It’s pretty cool, but very stressful.
college student. Math and Physics. Summer position as a resarch assistant at a different university. Lab TA during the semesters. Random secretarial work during the inbetween times…
I’m a kitchen designer working in the more affluent area of the North Shore (Chicago) suburbs.
It is a fun job as I am working with happy people mostly who are throwing obscene amounts of money at us.
However, I am currently actively looking for a new career as I am topped out financially here and it is not enough.
Zenster, what is your opinion of GAAS chip MOCVD reactors and their future? I may have an in as a tech operating one. The pay would be low for the first 6 months as I learn but there are substatial promises thereafter. Do you think there is a good market for this newish technology?
If that doesn’t work, I am thinking baout getting a job as a legal secretary or paralegal. Anyone have any opinions/suggestions?
I’m the CEO of a network security company. We principally do vulnerability assessments and audits for our customers. Also other security work, such as firewall/vpn management, forensics, etc.
Well, mine isn’t as exciting as some, but it has its points.
The title is “System Support Generalist” in the IT department at a college. (I tell people it means that we know everything about their computers. Yeah, right, sure we do. I also admit we’re faking it half the time, but they never believe me.) We do a little networking (Unix, Novell, and NT), hardware and software installations, training and documentation, a bit of Web stuff, hiring student assistants to watch the labs, sometimes helping with AV setup, and whatever else there is to do.
I get to play with all sorts of computers and software, and work with a bunch of great people. And our department is a pretty good ethnic mix, so our potlucks are great!
I have the most important single job in the world. I keep the entire world economy in balance. Upon my whim, the fortunes of nations rise and fall. And I am officially unemployed.
Since I’ve been malingering^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H recuperating from a major illness for the past few years, I have occasionally attempted to find full time employment. And every time I actively spread around a few resumes, the world economy starts going into the toilet. Since I’m actively seeking employment in Japan, the damage there has been particularly acute. I did an interview in 1995 with a couple of Japanese companies, and they went immediately into recession. I did a few more inquiries lately, and now Japan is heading even deeper into recession. I’m now actively seeking employment in the US, and now the economic indicators are down, and it looks like we’ll be heading into a recession too. It is in the best interests of the world economy that I remain unemployed, surely if I were to find a real job, we’d head straight for a depression. Somewhere, somebody at the IMF or Trilateral Commission or some similar organization should take heed of my situation and provide me with an annual stipend to remain unemployed. It is the only way to insure the stability of the world economy.
BTW, I told my tale of woe to a friend, and he shot back, “I heard a similar story once from someone who was standing on his head to keep the elephants away.”
Well, I must say that I have a pretty cool job. I am a Park Aid at Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve. I get paid good money, work with great people, in a beautiful enviroment.
I am also a college student… but I don’t get paid for that 
I test/break/destroy software and hardware intended for the USN/USMC and then send the crap back with redesign suggestions to the engineers, coders, integrators, etc. to fix.
It’s a pretty neat job; I get a nice check to “sailor-proof” stuff and get to play with the latest toys and work with some very sharp people.
My only problem is my title: Senior Projects Analyst. Is that some sort of a reference to my hair?!?
Unix Admin. But I’m really supposed to be writing my second novel.
I’m a rocket scientist. We do exist.
Actually, I’m a structural analyst who happens to be working in the rocket industry, but absent a generally accepted definition of the term, I am a rocket scientist, in the sense that I develop and use scientific principles with applications to rockets.
Everything you’ve heard is true: you get all the money and ass you can handle.
Copy editor for a daily newspaper, which means I edit stories, write headlines and put pages together. Oh, and I try to find smaller words for George Will’s big words.
Medical Technologist at a VA hospital lab. I get to play with whatever can be extracted from or excreted by the human body.
Woo hoo.
i’m the night shift supervisor and dispatcher for the transportation department at tucson medical center. basically, i sit on my ass and “coordinate” (tell people what to do) any move of “live” body, “dead” body, and “used to be in the” body throughout the hospital.
whenever i can, i also play gigs with a string quartet, teach private violin lessons, and coach sectional rehearsals for school and non-school orchestras.
I don’t know the CIA one, I have to admit (is it US specific or worldwide?) but I’m eligible to start the CISA next year (company paid, so they get to say when I can go). At the moment I’m trying to get out of ACCA accoutancy exams - I can do the IT bit, but the financial accounting is a bit dry for me (especially without a maths background).
I am a Rehabilitation Worker.
I work in a residential care and training facilty that serves seven mentally handicapped individuals. Our goal is to teach people the skills they need to live independently.
I have the greatest job in the world.
