Fourth year student at the University of Northern British Columbia, looking to graduate next year with a double major in physics and computer science. Maybe a minor in math, it depends how much more I can cram into my last year. I would mention my career goals to help give a better idea of my focus, but I really have none of either - hopefully grad studies, and then... dunno. 
For the last two summers, I've payed the bills (or at least a portion of them) working at a summer science camp for high-school age kids. Great experience. Don't think I'll be back this summer, though... it was under new management in my second year, and you might say we didn't get along.

Former (thank god) Truck Driver, went back to ITT to get an Associate's Degree in Web Development, where I'm learning to program in Java, Javascript, C++, Visual Basic, PHP, ASP, ASP.net and XML (of course).
EN World is also a large part of my work and I am a consultant to Wizards of the Coast on the front end design of their messageboards which, like EN World, are built using Vbulletin.

Just about ditto, except for the taxes part.mythusmage said:I'm one of the reasons you pay taxes.
It's a combination of clinical depression and anxiety disorder. Really debilitating. Having been suicidal I can tell you that there is nothing romantic about it.
I am an unemployed/unemployable homeless person because I have not so far accepted any governmental help (except for some free medication to keep me from going completely nuts).
If I hadn't broken off the interviews, I could've been an air traffic controller--after testing and several interviews, I had made the short short list. But that would have been...weird.

I'm an unemployed writer who isn't making ends meet, and would like help if possible. I've done a lot of library work, and I graduated with a bachelor's degree in English and Creative Writing. I've got six players in one D&D game, five in another, so if I could get them to pay $6.50 each per week for the games (about as much as a student ticket to a movie), I'd almost be able to support myself.
I'd like to be a full-time writer, either gaming or fiction, and after that just being involved in publishing somehow would be nice - editing, advertisement writing, managing contributors. I might also go to a library college next year, because all the good library jobs of course require actual Masters of Library Science. I love libraries, and have been volunteering or working in them since I was 14.
My birthday is in twelve days, and I'd love a job as a present. Maybe Homeland Security? Can someone hook me up? Or better way, offer to buy my fiction. *grin*

GIS, database work and general IT dogsbody for a local council. I'm a Bachelor of Architecture. I've used my learning to design a bathroom extension for my parents' home that never finished being built. This may be related to my decision in third year that architecture is dead.

Police Dispatcher. Great pay, interesting work. Lousy hours, lousy working conditions.
Finished a legal assistant course about 6 months ago and trying to get a job doing that, but so far no takers (why does every employer want you to have several years experience but want to pay you entry-level wages?).
I'm starting to get frustrated and am looking for anything that pays close to what I'm making now that will get me out of this third shift, constant mandatory overtime hell. Anybody need a professional gamer for $15/hour?
I would like to be a published author someday. Fantasy fiction, of course.
