What do Enworlders do in real life?

[Nac_Mac_Feegle]

I am a draughtsman and prototype co-ordinator for a small Point of Sale/Point of Purchase company.

Basicaly put : I take either a customer brief, or the designers visual, work out how to make it, then produce working drawring to enable the shop floor to make it, and ensure it all goes together.

Its not glamorous or exciting, buts its 5 minutes down the road, easy going place.

Some of you have cool sounding jobs though.

And Monkeydragon : Stop procrastinating and get your artwok done bud

I'm my long time here on the boards my experience with the many times this thread has popped up is that the two most common professions on the boards are: a) IT professional and b) librarians.

When I first started hanging around here, I was a student. After my graduation I first worked as a library assistant and now I work as an IT guy.

Huh.

ENWorld shapes me.

I work at a mall adult gift store. And I've been there for five years. Hmmm, sounds even more pathetic when you say it out loud...

 

[Funeris]

I surf Enworld all day long...er...I mean I work in the Civil Engineering/Land Design field. Creating subdivisions (homes I'll never be able to afford), public streets, blah blah blah.

And Freelancer by night

Back to surfing...

So it's your job to set up and maintain the website that lets ceratitis order his fruit flies online?

Among other things (though I don't think we actually sell fruit flies; we're mostly instruments and reagents).

Let's see. I have a BA in English with a specialization in creative writing (fiction and screenwriting). I also did some art.


What I DO do: Barista. Which is a fancy way of saying I make coffee. I work for Caribou Coffee, and as frustrating as it is to come home tired and dirty every day, and know that I'm not doing what I went to school for or earning enough to actually become independant, it's a good company and I like making coffee.

I'm not doing what I went to school for, either. I have a Master of Fine Arts degree in photography. Haven't touched a camera (other than my digicam for snapshots) in 10 years.

As long as you enjoyed your educational experience, it was worth it. As long as you like what you do now, you don't have to feel guilty about not following a career that involves your degree.
