By day I alternate between being an Apple Certified IT consultant and being a real estate developer. By night? I sleep.

I am a master's level mental health councilor and suicide prevention specialist working with the department of defense.

In America, I'm in Washington state. The military item is via contract.

I am a project manager for a simulation training development firm that builds training software and hardware for the railroad. Basically software that instructs new engineers how to operate a locomotive.

In a past life I was a video game designer and producer.

Surface Warfare Officer for the US Navy. Basically I drive big (or little) gray ships. However the Navy is currently paying me to finish an MA in National Security Affairs. Nothing like being a paid grad student. Thank you American taxpayers, I appreciate you.

I'm a teaching assistant at a university until October, from then on I will be a software engineer.

I own a small (just me and 1 employee at the moment) window cleaning and pressure washing business in Washington state. Conveniently, I can invoke company bonuses that coincide with new waves if I'm short on cash.

I'd help pay for your grad school long before I'd pay for the junk the military doesn't want

I'm a Technical Project Manager for a large company. Basically, whenever an application development team needs hardware to put their app on, they contact me. I help make the servers happen. Personally, I think my strong point is knowing enough about all the various technologies that happen in a server datacenter, but can talk about it to non-technical people. I also think I'm good at analyzing a situation and figuring out where the problem is. Works great for X-wing.

It's funny as I started out with a BFA in Painting, Drawing, and Print making and a BA in History. I was also very punk rock. Funny to think of me working for Corp. America.

My kids have no idea what I do and think it's terribly boring when I try to explain it. It sounds boring to me, but it can be fun enough.

Accounts payable and Payroll clerk at a recreation facility.

I'm another one of those grad students. I'm in an entomology program, but technically I'm an aracnologists. Described a new species of scorpion for my masters and am now working on pseudoscorpions for my Ph.D.

After graduating, I hope to be ... a biology teacher. I'll probably teach community college since I'm not as interested in research anymore, so it's unlikely that I'll get a job at a university. But teaching has become a passion for me.

If that falls through, I'm looking at maybe being the technical director of a pest control company or as a last-ditch effort to find work, join the military as a medical entomologist. Time will tell.

High school Latin teacher. And we do study the hero figure of Luke Skywalker in our mythology class. Trying to indoctrinate the next generation of SW fans.

Cool! I took Latin in High School. Nice to see it's still being taught.

And thanks for what you do, too. I appreciate people who dedicate themselves to helping people.

I'm an accounting tech. Nothing too exciting.

I write about games. And I occasionally write boring business software.

I just need to figure out a way to swap the amount I get paid for the two activities.

I work at panther coffee!

Former Marine and now I teach freshman comp.

What's a comp?

Comp as in English Composition. Its a writing class.

I'm an orthopaedic surgeon.

Or, as I prefer to say, I cut people

Uh, I forgot my upcoming full-time job: I'll have a Daughter in something like 2 weeks, which is the reason I'm not attending Italian Nationals... and I don't give a f***!

Maggie, I'll be your Father!

Cardiac Technician and Paramedic (retired, just an instructor now).

I'm a long-time network engineer who moved into management a few years back and am now a CIO/COO for a consulting company based in SoCal. I also have a wife, 3 kids (23, 20 months, 2 weeks) and 4 dogs, so free time is really a total luxury for me.

Network Engineer, in support, covering R/S and voice (by necessity, not choice). Our company takes on contracts for other organizations who don't have the time or expertise to do various tasks with their networks, security, wireless, voice, or data center systems. Second company I've done this sort of work for. I rather enjoy troubleshooting, especially routing protocols, but it seems like voice is the most pervasive technology in the field.

My mom keeps trying to get me to drive for Uber (she drives for them), apparently they'll finance a car for you. Unsure if want.

I'm a Ranger Instructor in the Mountain phase of the US Army Ranger School. I enjoy long walks up steep mountains, throwing artillery simulators, and assessing casualties during actions on the objective in a simulated combat environment. I teach doctrinal tactics at the Grunt level of understanding, breaking it down Barney style, in order to get through to the new Lieutenants and Privates that come through the course thinking they know it all. They still mess it up. The FTX every cycle is a new adventure, with equal parts nature hike and poorly directed, low-budget war movie. Think Platoon meets the Blair Witch Project and Strange Wilderness:

An Army Platoon that has problems working together gets lost in the woods for ten strait days looking for bad guys to shoot blanks at, but are attacked by a phantom force of enemies whose intention is grading their performance while simultaneously looking for Bigfoot. Deprived of sleep and food, the students trudge on, wondering if they will ever escape the Mountains that have trapped them.

I work for HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) as the Image Validator. Basically I look at Mars all day and make sure the images we get from the surface look how we expect them to, and if they dont I tell the computer to do its job better

Im also going to the U of A as a full time student in Computer Science

Much of why I love to wave my pessimism boner around here is because I deliver mail for the post office.
