What do Enworlders do in real life?

[Kid Socrates]

I work as a customer service manager/accounting specialist/programmer/troubleshooter/repair/website optimizer/jack of all trades for a voicemail/auto attendant company in Kansas City. Been here two and a half years. At least, that's what pays my bills.

Congrats on the awesome job, Piratecat! I envy the hell out of you right now.

Yes, I know who you are and where you live (if you're with the right IPS )

I teach high school health and physical education and coach football and track.

 

[mhacdebhandia]

I have a degree in English, history, and studies in religion (with Honours) from the University of Sydney.

However, I currently work in the veterinary pharmaceutical and equipment company which my parents run. Apart from working in the manufacturing suite and warehouse (which I hate), I also often get to work in the office covering the phones, doing paperwork, and random jobs like labelling bottles or filling trays with tubes of ointment.

I'm also the unofficial (and underskilled) computer guy, solely because I'm the only one left in the whole building who even remotely understands them after our accountant got a new job.

I read a lot of these threads and sometimes wonder what do the other Enworlders do for a living. So I'd thought I'd ask.

What do you do for job/career/school/training?

I am a staff accountant for a small non profit research corporation. Before that I did tech. support for tax prep software, and before that 8 years in the landscaping business, and before that various restaurant jobs.

I'm studying Biomedical Engineering at a Dutch University.
It's my first year and my grades kinda suck at the moment so I honestly don't know if I'll be doing this next year as well.

I also play guitar in a rockband .

hang in there!!!
the first year is by far the toughest. i was very close to quiting my self but my friends convinced me to stay and i'm now graduating after 4 years (only needed 3, stayed one more for fun!) with honors and a scholership... guess that makes me a nerd rather then a geek
anyway the 1st year is full of new introductuctery stuff and later it gets much more interesting as you start to learn the real stuff.

I work in a lumber/ veneer mill while going to college, we cut logs into sheets 1/50th of an inch thick. I do a mix of heavy lifting, paperwork, driving a forklift, and dealing with 15' long razor sharp knives.

After trying out Computer Programming (shudder) and Management I spent some time to do decide what I want to do. Now I'm going for EMT and firefighter training to become a full time firefighter, which I'm 90% sure is what I want to do.

Not quite a librarian
