I’m sure it’d be more interesting that what you’re doing now, you’d undoubtedly be paid more, and chemical engineering is probably the second best major for IP work (EE being the best, from what I’ve heard (and I don’t know why)). \*\*

Taxguy, I never thought about doing law. I can’t see the connection though why Chem E’s would be such a good fit for it. Anyone have any idea???

Properties/Scenic Design Intern at one of the largest community theatres in the country. My day includes: making a chain of 7 phone calls to find a 97 year-old printing press (“No, we don’t have one, but we’ll ask this guy who just walked in the door. He says to call X Printing and ask for Dan. Tell him Dave told you to call.”); setting up a xylophone; googling for a picture of Hitler, blowing it up in Photoshop and attaching it to a dartboard; filling a Jim Beam bottle with iced tea; moving furniture all over town; procuring a skull-shaped ashtry to use as a candy dish; finding sugar-free candy for our diabetic cast member; sewing curtains to a curtain rod; designing a circular couch; any number of other things. It’s hard, hard, work, and long hours, but I love it.

Ok, I just have to come out of lurking mode to post on this thread. I work for a company that manages adult bookstores all over the country. I deal with the merchandise end.

Yes, my job entails making sure the stores have the correct number of vibrators and other adult toys they are supposed to be carrying. I even get samples from manufacturers! 🙂

Most of the time it’s a fun job.
