ENWorld vs. Real World

[der_kluge]

So as it stands, I have a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English and history with Honours in studies in religion. I currently work for my parents, who run a small but growing veterinary pharmaceutical company;

But... you still dress like a clown, right? RIGHT?

Got a job my last year with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment forecasting air quality and issuing smog advisories.

Thats amazing, I currently work for the MOE!

Im finishing off my degree in Political Science (with a focus in Public Policy and Policy Analysis) from the University of Toronto (i'll be done in the spring) and I will be pursuing a career in Policy Analysis very soon.

Cheers,

I work for an architects' practice, and do a part time degree course in Architectural Design & Technology by day release.

I use to describe myself as an Architectural Technologist, before (ironically) I joined the British Institute of Architectural Technologists and had to stop.

My (sadly much diminished) group feature 1 guy who works for IBM, 1 guy who works in a supermarket, and one guy who at the last count had four jobs including social work & web design.

Nope

His last name wouldn't be Hightower, would it?

Nope, its not that, I can't seem to remember how to spell his last name, but is sounds like Nunaly.

If we're getting into former jobs:

• English Teacher
• Logging (spacing, bucking and spiking)
• Bicycle Courier (when you're 18, Best Job EVAH)
• Waiter/Line Cook/Busboy/Assistant Manager at a Boston Pizza
• Janitor

I also once served as a roadie for an all-girl rock-and-roll band in Lake Louise, but that wasn't a paying gig.

How do you keep landing these great all-girl things? First this, then Kung Fu Angels? Wait...maybe I just don't want to know.

My former job list would eat up waaaay too much bandwidth if I were to type it up here. I'll hit the highlights:

Grew up on a farm... self explanatory
DJ at the first high school radio station in Arkansas (Cave City HS..go Cavemen!)
Worked in radio off and on for about 7 years after that.
Pizza delivery driver (contender for best job Ev-AR for a young single guy)
Club DJ (Another contender)
Roadie for local bands (country and rock)
Theater Projectionist
Laborer in a soybean bagging plant (worst job I ever had)
Text editor and proof reader for a data acquistion and distribution company
Data entry for the Post office (long term temp...no chance of getting a real PO job, but the pay was great)
Computer technician padawan (that fell through for personal reasons)
Video store manager (good and bad points... corporate made it bad)
And now data entry operator for Heifer International. I hope to die there many years from now.

Currently freelance illustrator, writer and webdesigner (and a bad one at that!). And daddy! Buy lots of Fiery Dragon Products and help me feed my baby!

I have a degree in Advertising, and I worked for 6 years as Art Director of several ad agencies, winning a couple of awards.

Oh, and I directed ligerie photo shoots.

I don't know how that keeps comin' up...

Uh... Research Librarian.

BA in English and History. Wanted a job in publishing/editing, but Texas is not the place for that career. I can empathize with Ranger Wickett. It took me about 6 months to find a gig after I graduated with an English degree. Glad I didn't pursue it for the money.

Stupid Double Post ...grumble...
