What does everyone do for a living?

[Beowulf]

With all this technical knowledge and computer nerdery, do we have a bunch of media studies types? Is your profession in any way connected to your knowledge of AMVs? Or are you a marine biologist (why is everyone a damn marine biologist!)?

If your still suckling the states teet, then say what you PLAN to do for a living.

I PLAN to go into music production and business. And if I ever take my bass more seriously, I might get into writing and recording.

[Moonlight Soldier]

Media type? Yayuh. I'm still a student, but I'm also a print reporter and freelance photographer. If I'm lucky, I'll get the production manager job I want in April :F

AMVs make broadcast and radio class easy though. Heh.

Or are you a marine biologist (why is everyone a damn marine biologist!)?

Haha, I went through a phase where I wanted to be a marine biologist in grade seven

I'm a student in new media studies, and I'm working part-time. I started in fast food (back in high school), went to waitressing after my first year of college, and now I'm in retail. Yaaaay.

I have an Administrative Assistant certificate, so I am qualified to work in an office, but there's no part-time work available for that.

I do second-line support for semiconductor capital equipment. When the field service techs can't fix the machine, I'm the guy who tells them that it's probably not a software problem and they need to call one of our hardware guys. It's a living, plus the problems are usually interesting and I get to travel all over the place on someone else's dime.

Ideally, I'd be making a living as a writer, but as soon as I finish writing a book, I just kind of leave it and am too lazy or disinclined to to demo it around to publishers and stuff. Music I do with the intent of never getting paid for it; I'm planning to get a MD player in the near future so that I can release a comp of my old demos, then investigate about a GarageBand or similar rig so that I can start recording again, but the point of all this is to occasionally sell a CD or 2 for 3 bucks at some other band's show.

I'm a graduate student (Master's program, 1st year) and teaching assistant in Linguistics, more specifically Applied Linguistics, with a focus on Genre Studies, Systemic-Functional Theory and Critical Discourse Analysis. Basically I pick at language for a living.

As a TA I mostly graded stuff and consulted students up to now, but this semester I'll be doing more classroom work with discussion groups and such. Should be fun enough.

In the future? Well if I live long enough, I plan to get a PhD and end up - or rather continue and move up in - University research and teaching.

Oh, PS - I wanted to be a Marine Biologist. In fact if I had stayed in Russia, I most probably would have been Seriously.

And yea, my professional life hasn't got a thing to do with AMVs

[Zarxrax]

I'm a professional college student.

[Minion]

i'm a graphic artist by trade, but i'm working as tech support for ABC liquor in florida right now.

[Kalium]

I'm a professional college student.

Close enough.

I'm a student. I have a part-time job doing systems administration. Like tech-support, only with more to worry about and all the people change less.
