[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 1906739, member: 2597"] [b]My Job[/b] I am currently trying to get my Masters in Physics doing a Thesis in Astronomy and I am starting my PhD in Planetary Science doing a Thesis in Microbiology. I sustain myself on a Graduate Assistantship where I do library research on Journal use over the past five years by Chemistry Graduate Students. Before that I was a Teaching Assistant who taught University Physics I, Physics in Human Affairs (Physics for Poets), and Astronomy Labs. Before that I was a Library Academic Tech working in Interlibrary Loan. Before that I had jobs as a Fry cook or Janitor (sometimes both) or unemployed. Before that I was earning my Bachelors in Physics while working jobs as a landscaper (the kind behind the lawnmower), library staff, dishwasher, fry cook, or babysitter. Before that I was a high school student and mowed lawns, cleaned the local elementary school, was a stockman at Wal-Mart, and worked in a college library. My gaming group: Buff: Buff is a professional student who supports himself by working in the University computer labs as a lab op. He has his bachelors in Physics Dok: Dok works for an ISP as phone help. He has his bachelors in Computer Science Asad: Asad works for a company that does inventory control for Wal-Mart. He has his bachelors in Computer Engineering. He is getting married and moving to Atlanta in about a year. Justin: Justin is getting his Bachelors in Creative Writing and works at the on-campus coffee shop. Jeff: Jeff used to be a financial analyst and now is a Pre-Vet (or Pre-med, he can't decide right now, so he's doing both). He has his bachelors in business. Other People I have gamed with John: John works at the VA scanning in documents. Theron: Theron is (last I heard) a CSA at Wal-Mart. TJ: TJ is a clerk at the Wal-Mart Electronics Section. CK: TJ's fiancee is another professional student, who is making some cash on the side managing message boards. Rick: Rick is a CNA (certified nurse's assistant) who runs the desk. Keith: Keith is a programmer at JB Hunt. Scarlet: Haven't heard from her in awhile. Last I saw she was getting her bachelors in Biology. Rachel: (got to call her) she is still deciding on what computing field she wants to get her degree in. Willie: Last I heard he has a life-partner named Fenris who takes care of him. Raymond: Another one I haven't heard from in awhile. Last I knew he was a fry cook at Wendy's. William: William does some kind of IT work in Dallas. I need to get ahold of him. Aaron: Aaron is in his first year of law school. Joel: Joel is now a full-fledged law-shark having just finished his clerking. David: I haven't heard from David since he was doing his residency at John Hopkins, but I think he was leaning towards pediatric medicine (hey, his Dad delivers them and he takes care of them). Bill: Bill is almost done with culinary school. Brandy: Bill's wife does special orders for the Barnes & Noble in Little Rock. Bob: Last I heard from Bob, he had to move back to Shamokin, PA to take care of his father. When he was here he worked at Zero Mountain which was a food storage facility. I gamed with him and two other guys from his job whose names escape me. Bishop: He should be in his Journeyman years as an electrician, haven't seen him in awhile though. Max: How could I forget Max. He has degrees in theater and graphic arts, last I heard he was working as a tour guide in Dallas. Jeremy: Last I heard he was doing IT in Austin. Will: Will had somehow convinced the University that he was a Mac Expert and gotten a job. He was fired after a year.
