What do Enworlders do in real life?

[Scotley]

I run a day program for developmentally disabled adults as part of a larger not for profit residential and day services company. My degrees are in Psychology, so I guess I'm actually doing what I studied for, but in truth most of what I do, I had to learn after college.

 

[Harmon]

Called myself a Carpenter for about seventeen years, though I have trained as a Project Manager, an Estimator, and a Draftsmen.

Now I am seeking to become a Phlebotomist, and within perhaps a half dozen years an X Ray Technologist, but that is some distance off.

Right now I am unemployed and playing at being a full time Dad, which in a few months I will be doing lots more as the wife is headed back to work (she makes way more money then I, better bennies too).

Editor, Writer, Sailor

I edit a series of nautical almanacs -- marine navigation handbooks for boat captains.
I write for a few sailing and marine-related magazines. Used to be a newspaper reporter.
I sail on tall ships that run semester-at-sea programs, teaching traditional seamanship and navigation.

Denny's.... hope to goto college for (major) biochemistry and (minor) stem-cell research.... afterwards I'd like to go back to college to major in mathmatics.

My Job Title is Weighmaster. I work the gate at my town Landfill. The people come in with loads of trash and I tell them how much it is to dump and run the register.

Can you even *get* a minor in stem-cell research?

Seems to me that'd be more likely something for a graduate research assistant. (Then again... give it another coupe of years...)

So, you're the weighmaster and the gatekeeper? Isn't that a little dangerous for the preservation of the universe as we know it?

I'm an Account Planner for an ad agency...which is a job title that tells you nothing about what I do. My job is to help the rest of the ad team (particularly the creatives) understand the target for whom we're making the advertising. So, it's a lot of conducting research, and a lot of just thinking about what consumers actually think.

If you see ads for KFC, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), or Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, you've seen stuff that I work on.

I used to work in market research on the "client side" for a decade, and have a Master's degree in Market Research, but decided, 6 years ago, that I didn't like working on that side (too corporate, I was a bit too "out there"). On the agency side, I fit in just fine.

(Oh, and, BTW, DS Da Man, I used to work at Quaker. )

Only if Gozer the Gozerian ever catches wind. And, at the landfill, he's unlikely to catch wind...

I have been a mailman for the last couple of years. I am currently trying to move up to supervisor so I can one day be a postmaster.
