Chose Computer Programming / IT which I guessed, and turns out to be, the most common one listed (besides 'other' I suppose, but you know what I mean).

Technically I am a web designer/developer, but that's close enough (could have gone with "other" if I wanted to be picky I suppose).

I am un/self-employed- I'm trying to bring in some income with a combination of writing and notary service, and I'm also helping take care of my stepdad.

So I'll vote unemployed, kinda.

I've got an Electrical Engineering degree, and am currently working in a call center for an online bank. However, that's a temp job for only a month or two, and doesn't even pay a living wage, so I went with unemployed, since that's what I've been and will be again soon. Heck UI + food stamps is probably better than what I'm earning now...

Life lesson: College degrees are worthless.

In ancient times, off-topic poles like this were not allowed.

Currently other, but probably moving to the unemployed category in the not too distant future.

Wow, seeing people with such high class jobs make one feel humble.

Anyway, I'm a web developer for several sibling sites, so I guess that'd put me on Computer Programming/IT.

I'm a scientist, man.

I'm also a former military officer (retiree). But that choice wasn't present.
