I don't think this particular topic has been started so I'll go for it.
What do you do? Are you a student? Do you have a job or career? If neither applies, what would you like to do?
Those who have played with me long enough know I am a law student. My hope is I can go into immigration and business law.

I'm currently finishing my civil service for a NGO that specializes in workers rights; once I'm done with that I'm aiming for getting a job as an accountant again and expand on my qualifications in that until I've got enough money put aside (and/or a job that allows it), to study translation.
Might sound like it's going to go fast, but with all the qualifications and courses you've got to rack up here in Austria to be considered for anything it's going to take a while still.. :P
-
So my official title is Tier1 Team Lead, Which means I manage 7 other support engineers who provide software support for our company. I consider this my job, as my career is first and foremost a father :)
-
I am a history student in the University of Eastern Finland. Yay.
-
I'm a royal air force engineer.... Perfect game for me eh? ;)
-
I graduate with my computer science degree next year, but currently working full time as a software engineer.

Wish I could give you a Salute in real life... This virtual on will have to suffice :)
-
Inactive USN SeaBee (But they keep calling me -.- )
Group Care Worker for Department of Youth Services, working in general population detention in a open door facility in a state forest with children with a variety of offenses.
I basically play dad to a bunch of gang bangers that really are just entertained by war stories all day long. Or basketball, lots and lots of basketball.
-
I work for the UMWA (United Mine Workers of America) as in-house IT Support. I make sure people are working so miners get their proper benefits.
-
history student in Denmark
I drink from time to time.

I have a pretty sweet job. I'm a Guide Safety Technician for a local tour company up in Barrow, Alaska. Basically all I do is follow the tour van (via-four wheeler) when it heads out to 'the point' and I look out for Polar Bears. If I spot one (which is very hard, they blend in so damn well) I give off a warning shot which spooks them to run off most of the time.
On my off time I do freelance Network Technician work. I would really like to get into this more.
-
I'm currently finishing my Freshman year as a Biology student in the Danish IB system.
-
I feel like this is a safe place. Guys...
I currently work for Muse.
By the way loving this thread. We have some people with some awesome jobs and careers here. Profession polar bear deterrent, that sounds like something I want to see on a resume.

Video Game Design student in Australia
-
I am a Programmer for a company that makes emergency services equipment. I help make the software on those computers you see in police, fire, and EMS vehicles. I also work on the dispatching and networking software.
-
Fancy job description I use to impress people: Debugging Solutions Architect. (Sounds badass, but won't hold up around actual developers. Fun to say at high school reunions).
More realistic: Software Developer (I usually just say I'm a programmer).
What I really do: Something is broken or is complex to develop, I end up getting it to make it work.
What I spend a lot of time doing: Managing and developing the vehicle management system for a very large vehicle manufacture. Chances are if you walked into one of their dealerships you end up seeing something I helped develop. Also if you ever interacted with one of their websites. The vehicle data that is on their website is from our system.

I am a part time walmart cart pusher... Part time job hunter, and My goal is to To be a Emergency medical Technician Once i get the money to do so... And i take pride in having the lamest job on the forum so far!

Junior High School Student right now... hope to join the Navy after.
-
For a living I do IT for San Jose State University (the college I attended).
But what I really do is esports production type stuff, mostly Starcraft 2 content. I'm production lead for Starcraft 2 side of the Collegiate Star League (CSL), as well as a couple of other shows esports related.
Now if I could only get paid to do it...
-
Currently in high school, graduating soon then off to Platteville for Software Engineering

I'm about to finish my degree in Electrical Engineering (well, here in Spain it's a 5 year long programme that adds up to a degree in that plus a master's in, in my case, electronics and systems engineering).
I want to make a career out of AI. I love enhancement cybernetics as well, hoping for that field to become bigger in the future.

Polysci student in New England. I was in the U.S. Army for a while before this.

Wow, an awful lot of naval affiliation so far. I shouldn't be surprised :D
I just got my degree in Illustration a couple years ago and I've been trying to get good enough to do art as a real job since then. I actually play this game as much as I do to keep me at my desk and drawing with a tablet between matches, because I really don't know what else to do :D Currently I'm just doing freelance work for people who ask, and have been completely booked! I also work in a freezer part-time at a nearby Target so's I can have health benefits.
I also work full-time for Capt. Falco, in the Making Things Explode division.

They dug too deep.

I don't think "Losing Is Fun!" would go over well as your company slogan.
I got a degree in Aeronautical Engineering--right now I'm a pilot for the US Air Force. The AE degree was just ahead of a music degree, for those of you who have seen my thread with Mr. Gong.

what aircraft do you pilot. I wish I was an engineer in the us instead of here. Things are so political and delecate here :/

I'd totally trade you jobs :3 Next resume I send out I'll write Polar Bear Deterrent and not Guide Safety Technician. Most of the time when I post Guide Safety Technician, they do a double take and ask me what. I then tell them and they get so into that they forget about the interview. It's pretty funny.
-
I fly KC-135s. They're the workhorse and whipping boy of the Pacific. We used to have engineers on board, but not anymore.
Things are political in the US, but I guess we just don't do 'delicate'.
-
Mainly, I read the news and forums.
Err, I'm a computer engineering student. Currently working full time coding automated tests for firmware and web apps.

I recently graduated with a degree in medieval history. Now I work in IT as a systems support analyst for a library consortium... not sure how I ended up in that career but it happened and that's that. 8)

Sir, may I get your blessing to my next exam?

Ill be honest Im a bit of a history buff.. But i have to ask What time period is considerd "Medieval" Post Byzantine? Post Roman?
Cus if i had a real choice in what i would study i would Probably choose medieval history. I cant get enough of Byzantine history,
-
I work in a school as behavioural and classroom support but mainly I am a Psychological Science Honours student working on my thesis to finish my degree.

Well my course started with Charlemagne and ran through to the Tudors, so late 700s through to about 1600. Everything after I would class as early modern.
I focused on Edward I and his invasion of Wales mostly. I love castles :D
-
I watch a lot of QI, and the J-series has a 'Jubious Theories' thing where they say the Charlemagne period of history was made up by a king who wanted to be king in 1000 AD. Viable?
-
Well if there was no Charlemagne then that means he never had a daughter, and if there is no daughter then there is no marriage to the Norse chieftain Rollo, which means that the entire history of Normandy in France is a lie!
It also means that I shouldn't exist as I am now not descended from Charlemagne (my family tree can be traced through Robertus de Villapari vel. de Sancto Leodegario and the family story has always been that the St Leger's were descendants of the bastard son of Geoffrey of Eu, one of Richard I of Normandy's sons).
To be honest it's not that big a deal either way for me... my ancestors gambled the money away on stupid expeditions to Eldorado with Raleigh (a distant cousin), and then had too many daughters so the rest was spent marrying them off.
And before anyone asks - no I am not rich and did not go to a posh school and university. I am working class and wouldn't have it any other way :D
-
I work retail. This means a reliably unreliable work schedule. I have an accounting degree that I do nothing with. If anyone here would like an accountant, and can firmly commit to giving me Saturdays/Sundays off for GoIO tournaments, shoot me a line. All I ask is that you pay for review classes and fees so I can sit on the CPA exam. I expect my inbox to fill up with job offers... ::)
-

That is just the sort of thing I expect the people in the south of France to lie about.
-
I'm a student who wasted his time on bachelor studies on West Pomeranian University of Technology in Computer Science. Oh, and now I'm doing master studies...
-

As somebody who lived in Southern France, I can confirm that they hate the North.
Ok, maybe not entirely, but they do hate Paris. Everybody hates Paris.
-
I just hate France. I don't discriminate.

Fair enough. Celtic and english history is pretty interesting. I Enjoyed learning about Alexios I Komnrnos and the first crusade.
Have to say im slightly jellous.... XD

do you have to go through the whole CBT? i'm an engineer and its really not my true calling, i've always wanted to help people. what are your experiences? any advice etc.?
-
I currently am working as a paramedic whilst preparing studies in psychology. (Those two go surprisingly well together, since you gain experience at work. Not so much with patients but your co-workers. There mostly somewhat crazy...)
-
I'm a college student up in CT, but lives in Texas. I'm in my school's dual-degrees program, getting both my JD and my BA in PoliSci at the same time. So afterward, I aim to start off in corporate law, either that or diplomatic services.

Flight instructor and finishing my last semester of college.
Then off to a small regional airline in another year or so.
