I have a BS in History & Policy from Carnegie Mellon University (in 1995) and am currently employed as a legal assistant/office manager for a trusts and estates solo practitioner in Boston, Massachusetts. :\

I originally intended to join either the Navy or the Air Force to be an intelligence office, but I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder that prevented me from doing that. Since then I’ve worked as a cashier in a movie theater, store clerk for a local AHL hockey team, newspaper “gofer boy” and an tour guide for a medieval arms and armor museum before getting a paralegal certificate as a way to test out a possible law career. That was seven years ago; since then I’ve decided I don’t want to be an attorney and have been trying to figure out a new career path, but haven’t had much luck coming up with ideas. The anxiety disorder (and spin off depression) isn’t helping much, either.

If you want me to pass on your resume to some folks who might be able to help feel free to let me know.

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).

My heart goes out to you and Mythusmage...but I do have to ask: How exactly do you manage to post on the board?!

...a combat medic for the navy and Marines (4 years)...

Geez 'doc it's OK to say Corpsman.

I work for the Purdue University College of Engineering. My job title says "Computer Systems Engineer". What I do is maintain Solaris and Linux machines, including all hardware and OS issues, including security. Basically everything except for application support. I like to tell people, "if it's in the background, I handle it". That and whatever my boss tells me to do. I'm kinda the last stop for bizarro problems from all areas that we support.

I also used to teach 100 and 200 level IT courses part-time for the School of Technology here at Purdue. Man, I miss that.

I've got a BS in Computer Science, and have a job thats basically a web designer and a computer tech. But because my job is with a small company, its really got no room for growth, and the city I reside in is so backwards technologically that many think Windows '95 is still the big thing; I'm leaving this city and heading north to Austin, TX after the new year (unless something pops up before then).

Some past jobs I have had:
I worked at a Cotton Gin, as the operator of the press that bails the cotton (also at the same job, a firefighter, mechanic and janitor and all at the same time Agriculture jobs are definatly interesting).

Pizza Hut delivery man (where else can you drive 80 mph down a 50 mph road and get away with it, fun times)

Working for a state agency, why because they needed someone to upgrade their 911 emergency call computers. So if your ever in deep South Texas and you need to call 911, realize that part of that network is my handywork ::Evil Grin::

Ah, the wonders of what you can do with an MA in Medieval History

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Currently working part-time retail and as a subsitute teacher in a local school district while interviewing for full-time work in Boston. In the past, I've been a graduate student (have an MA in English), administrative assistant at a medical school, and a tour-guide/deckhand on local ferries and sight-seeing boats. And there's been a lot of retail bookselling going on in there, too.
