Just saw a post asking about a jeweler.

I am not a jeweler. But it got me thinking about what we all do. I am a computer consultant, and have been for 26 years. (My front plate should read MID LIFE CRISIS) I am perfectly able and willing to help out my fellow cult members with their computer problems, out of gratitude and because I am toatlly incapable of helping with mod questions.

Anyone else want to offer up what they do?

Im a music producer and dj.
I study Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in school (graduating this year!)
I teach classes for 'older adults' in Computers.
Seems like NAM is becoming a job now as well... takes up enough of my time!

I'm a Network Admin for an Accounting Firm (we also host Citrix for multiple companies). At 26, I love having the freedom of my position and of course the salary is nice in the computer field

I'm also a musician and studio engineer.. yes i have no time to rest..

So, "hello fellow computer nerds and musicians..."

At 23, I am a finance manager for a dealership that has the following franchises: Bentley, Aston Martin, Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Lotus, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Spyker. Needless to say I have my hands full, and I am one of the bad guys, but being around all of these great cars does have its perks. Now all we need to get is BMW/MINI and we would be the greatest dealership in all of the land!!!muah haha...

Looks like I'm the first non-computer careered person to respond (although I'm still a full-fledged, flag-flying nerd). I'm a science and health writer, mostly for magazines although I'm currently working in the communications office of a university.

This is a cool thread

I am so glad that people here are willing to say what they do. I will honor my promise. If anyone needs computer advice, I will provide it. But you must mention "MINI"

ANd I hope that others will follow suit

And Rachel is just too hot for words, so she gets a free ride. Good to be a girl.

Well.... my job probably sounds a bit boring to folks but I think it's perfect.

I'm a kept woman. (just don't tell my husband )

Actually I've been mom for 28 years. I homeschooled my four kids through high school graduation (I'm a killer teacher for Calculus and Physics. ). Now the kids are all graduated and I am pursuing my pottery full time. Yup, I sit in the garage and throw pots all day..... inbetween being grandma, gardening, sewing, reading, quilting, playing the piano, and the perpetual laundry duty.

I don't know if you're up to the challenge. It's a hard job, not many of us keep it these days...

I'm the Customer Service Manager for the exclusive Telecommunications vendor within the San Diego Convention Center (currently keeping my fingers crossed for a promotion shortly to become the General Manager).

Hubby is a professional photographer - but those jobs out here are hard to find and very competitive. He lost his job a few months back when the newspaper he was working for folded it's division and laid off 26 people. He is now a Division Manager for "Southern Wine and Spirits". Can't beat free Wine and Booze!!!
