Viti

I run the Customer Relations department for a small telecommunications firm.

Just Another Infidel

I'm currently the IT manager (i.e. webmaster ) for a 4 man Internet Marketing company.

Prior to this I did a short stint trying to sell web sites. I sucked at it. :banghead:

Prior to that I worked in a Fly Fishing shop. Lots of fun, good discounts on gear. I enjoyed teaching casting and fly tying but we couldn't live on retail clerk wages.

Prior to that I was enjoying a satisfactory career as one Uncle Sam's pojection of force tools (U.S. Navy). 22 years.

And waaaayy back when, I was working in a local restaurant as a diswasher/busboy/short order cook, looking longingly at the tip jar the bartendar was filling every night!

Hmmmm, wonder what I could do next????

Excellent thread, it's interesting to put some texture to one dimensional names on a forum.

I am a Senior Claims Rep with an auto insurance company, for 16 years.

Prior to that, I was active duty Navy, am still in the Naval Reserve, drilling once a month in Norfolk, VA.

My dream job would be teaching History or Poli. Sci. in college, still dream of going forward toward a PhD in some kind of combination of History and Political Science, with an emphasis in early American history, which is my passion.

My favorite thing that I do is being a Dad to my 13-year old son. Unfortunately, since he is an only child I can't pass on the lessons learned from my screw ups to another child, but it is still doubtless my favorite job in the world.

I'm the director of a consulting business unit at a market research and consulting company. It's a reasonably satisfying career being an expert that the clients call for advice.

If I could do it again I'd probably want to have gone into academia.

Chicken Girl

I'm a first-year college student and I haven't declared my major yet, I was thinking computer science, but now I'm leaning more towards German.

Computer Engineering senior.

ChickenGirl, warum bleibst du nicht bei CS als Hauptfach und nimmst Deutsch einfach als Nebenfach?

I'm currently a lazy-ass college student who really needs a job. I'm majoring in journalism but what I'd really like to go into is publishing.

Hedwig

I'm an English major but money's been so bad lately that I can't afford to go to school this spring semester. So my job is finding a job which will probably be in sales or the service industry (woohoo! )

I used to study theatre and planned on becoming a stage actress but I knew I didn't have the out and out dedication needed to pursue that for the rest of my life so I fell back on English with an emphasis on the writing aspect of it.

At one time I wanted to be a criminologist but I didn't feel like working to join the FBI which is where I would have had to go eventually.

Kinross

Currently my wife and I are starting our own company doing logistical support for bio-tech startups.

I'm also an embedded systems engineer by day designing test equipment for DSL, POTS, and Cable. Previously I worked on self organizing robots, gas detecion systems, weapon controls for nuclear submarines, and AI agents for experimental economics simulations.

Previous to all of that I did retail, waiter, bartending, landscaping, PC repair.

Danya

I'm a service consultant for a giant health insurance company. Which means I pay claims and take service calls. I've been there for 5 years.
