During the day I am a human resource consultant. At night I'm a professional genealogist.

Weird combination, I know.

I'm a registered nurse. They told me I could perform any medical act in an emergency, so I sometimes perform neurosurgery on the weekends. Talon is the result of one of my botched brain operations.

I used to be an information architect and various other stuff like that in IT and telco, plus I do freelance writing on the side (columns, reviews, and some technical and marketing stuff).

Now, though, I'm pretty much a freelance housewife (and a bad one at that), and am considering a new career as a crime model .

I currently run a glass shop. I supply architectural glass to window manufacturers.

I was a Failure Analysis Engineer at a Semi-conductor Wafer Fab till the Company downsized themselves out of existence, �liberating� thousands of �Dilberts� at once. I can�t decide if I want to simply retire and be a bum, a burden to society, or seek another job to keep me off the web. I�m leaning toward the former at this point.

Before that I was the God of ancient Babylon.

I am an aircraft systems engineer.

When our company mechanics hit a maintenance problem they cannot solve, they come to our office. For several years prior, I did some design engineering on a well known business jet.

The FAA in their unfathomable wisdom has decided a few choice words my pen can make an Airbus or MD11 fly.

On the other hand, they also say I cannot change the air filter on my own little Cessna!

I am 55 and have been interested in and worked on and around airplanes since I was a kid.

Genau das meinte ich. Deutsch als Hauptfach und CS als Nebenfach ist eine M�glichkeit aber da� h�ngt davon ab was deine langfristigen Pl�ne sind.
Meine Uni hat �brigens keine Sprachhauptf�cher, nur Nebenf�cher und selbst die wurden erst k�rzlich eingef�hrt. Ansonsten gibt es ganz wenige Nebenf�cher, ich wollte Physik als Nebenfach nehmen aber das gibt es leider nicht.

Apparently I'm a geology major at one of California's small junior colleges - Foothill College, a nice little campus up in the semiwild hills of Los Altos. Guess they must have picked a major for me based on the completely random classes I'm taking this semester to maintain my full-time student status (required to stay on parental health insurance). I just finished a biology undergraduate degree at the University of San Francisco, however, and I'm applying to a couple of schools in the hopes of getting into their Geology master's programs. Want to go into paleontology. Especially early-life paleontology, because the Cambrian and the Vendian eras just absolutely kick ass.

This was supposed to be my year off before I go back to killing myself scholastically. It is, in a sense.

I'm a commercial real estate appraiser in Las Vegas. It's usually just number crunching and economic analysis, but sometimes it can get interesting. I've worked on two appraisals involving legal brothels, inspecting one of them . A few months ago I appraised a church and an adult bookstore in the same week. Most properties I deal with are vacant land, office buildings or industrial buildings.

I did residential appraisal for about nine years, and have done commercial for two. Residential was more interesting in that I got to see a lot of houses, but commercial is much more lucrative and IMO seen as more of a profession as opposed to a commodity.

THOUGHTfully Yours,
