Professions

[Joe_Campbell]

I will have my mechanical engineering technologists' diploma in ~4 months. Im not sure about where to bridge though: UBC or UVic. Currently I work for a small company based in Sidney Oceanetic Measurement and at a gas station. I am also about to help doing janitorial work at my church. All this and I'm contemplating training to become a triathlete!

We are currently assembling ice tracking buoys to monitor the currents of ice up north of Canada. Did you know they can move up to 30km a day?

[Larry Rinkel]

From 1979-1985, a teacher of English at a small mid-Atlantic college.

From 1986 to the present, a technical writer for a software company, also working at various times in quality control, client education, and marketing.

I graduate in 2005 and have worked for nearly two years in business, before deciding I want to practice corporate law. As of this September, therefore, my "profession", will be a law student!

I am a corporate lawyer. What can I do to dissuade you from doing that to your life? Where will you be going to law school?

Are you based in the UK? PM me.

[Black Knight]

Doing the last few months of school. Afterwards I'm going to study music science for a year, while busting my ass off, so that I get accepted to the Trondheim Conservatory the year after that. *Insert hope smiley*

[karlhenning]

Change manager!  So you're the one can explain to us Yanks how many guineas to the bob, or whatever! 

[knight66]

That's right, 21 bob to the guinea...see it is still all at my fingertips.

I feel confident having you set policy, then! 

[knight66]

Yes, I am working on bringing back the farthing. It is useful for getting things out of horse's hooves.

[Maciek]

PhD student at The Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (wow! their site really sucks - which is the only reason I'm linking to it, of course )... I should be finishing my thesis this year, perhaps early 2008. Chances of future employment in areas somehow connected to my field (literary theory) are zero to none (in other words: a farthing ). Academic positions in Poland are scarce. But we'll see. OK, enough, let's just move on to a happier subject.

I have a degree in international and European law and work as a legal advisor at the Legislation Department of the Ministry of Justice.

After a few pages of professions, we can certainly agree GMG is a conjunction of big shots. Not a single janitor or shop clerk.

Doing the last few months of school. Afterwards I'm going to study music science for a year, while busting my ass off, so that I get accepted to the Trondheim Conservatory the year after that. *Insert hope smiley*

Could you explain what "music science" is?

[Maciek]

Hopefully they're here, just too bashful to make their presence known... Or else we're just a bunch of elitist losers, hopelessly upholding the belief that music is for everyone...

I used to work as a sort of janitor for a computer company once. It's the sort of job I'll probably come back to once I finish my studies - wouldn't mind it all that much, really. My wife used to be cleaning lady at a bank. She actually misses that job - they paid pretty well and it wasn't very stressful.

I'll hope, acoustics?

[karlhenning]

Not a single janitor or shop clerk. 

Oh, I'll step into that breach.

I used to be the guy at the 1-800 number that takes note of the problem you have with your cellphone. Getting my degree in Economics may allow me to expand my work span...

for instance, I'll be able to drive a cab.*


*The good thing about economists driving taxis, is that we know exactly why are driving a cab.

Apprenticeship for psychologists/neuropsychologists is not remunerated. Furthermore in Italy there's very little space and regard for scientifical research and neuropsychology, since here it's a relatively new and unknown profession.
SInce my app. will last one year, in the part-time I'm a pizza-home-delivery-boy (what's the term?), and I'm looking for another part-time job as hall porter.

I've been a shop clerk for a decade or so.
First when I was at High School and then during my studies at University.

[Greta]

Still a student here, one more year, studying music and marketing. I want to work in Arts Administration and someday get my grad degree in it.

It seems like arts organizations can use some young enthusiastic advocates these days, so well, I'm hoping I can do my part. I would love to work for a symphony or other musical organization when I am done with school, and am looking for internships to this end.
