What's your occupation?

* Not being in the 501st and proably wont be able to.I dont mind sharing what I do *

I am working for our local Coca-Cola bottling company as the company fleet painter and fabricator.Which means I paint alot of red and white.We are a huge outfit witha fleet of about 200+ vehicles and I am responisble for making sure they stay nice and red/white.I am also responsible if the company needs any painting with the equipment and anything the "bosses" dem it needs to be painted.Back to fleet vehicles,if any of them get wrecked or damage I am the one who repairs them.Here lately about three a week are needing repairing.Plenty of job security
My responsbilties as company fabricator,if the powers that be or the mechanics need something "fabbed" up I am the one has to brainstorm to make it happen.
Not trying to read as resume( which I just realized) I have over 20 years experience in fabricating,automotive repairing,customizing and painting.
Which is why I enjoy trying to help others via here with their projects since I am currently not working on anything of my own and dont have anything to work on.

I'm not in the 501st YET. Though, right now I am a Medical Lab Technician, which I absolutely hate, however, it pays the bills. But... I have a Mortuary Science degree and am seeking an apprenticeship to become a Mortician. I'm also a certified Piercer and do body piercings on the side.

Right on Mike, you and I have a lot in common. fabrication is my favorite hobby and I love a good challenge. although I don't get a chance to do that very often anymore, my arse is in a chair 8 hours a day doing more of the R & D aspect of the project. man I need to get out in the shop more!!!

I'm a tech nerd and proud of it.... acutally im a creative director I work in marketing and advertising. I make things look pretty and boss the lackies around.

I wish I were a computer geek!! I would love to be able to do all those conputer things. sorry to burst the bubble but the sarge works for the local small town police department and part time at Cabellas. Though I have degrees in psychology, Theology and classical art.

I'm a cop, and you will respect my authoritah! I write tickets and investigate traffic collisions. Oh yeah, I arrest people from time to time.

I currently am working for Interstate batteries. I deal with car batteries and auto shops all day long. I also like to manage restaraunts occasionally.

Real Estate agent on the Westside of LA.

Brad

Theatrical Technician, Front of House engineer, whatever title you want to give it. Currently I run Sound and Lights for a theatre here in Arizona.

Lots of fun running around in the dark, making things up on the fly and in general entertaining people.

Up untill 3 weeks ago I was a senior technical project manager for the design and manufature of steel vessels, I was head hunted and am now working for a smaller yet more established design firm as a structural design engineer for off shore vessels.

I'm in the US Air Force. I've been on active duty for a little over 21 years now and I work in the aircraft maintenance field. My specialty is aircraft armament systems.
We're the ones who maintain the mechanical/electrical components of any weapons related components on the planes, and we're also the ones who load the bombs and missiles. Pretty cool job!

When I grow up, I want to be a cowboy or an astronaut.

Photographer, well wedding photographer to be more specific.
Not sure how useful I'd be, unless someone was having a Star Wars themed wedding.
I'd love that!!!

Part time graphic designer for a clothing company and a server till the company takes off and I can quite my day job.

My "occupation" is wibbly-wobbly.... Until recently, I had been enrolled in university (even though I am now over 40) and was working on my Masters Degree program. For reasons I won't go into, I have had to put my studies on hold, and I now have most of my masters degree time under my belt, but not quite (sigh). Anyway, if I was working in my field I would would be an archaeologist. Currently, however, I am a work-at-home dad of a four-yr-old (well, almost 4) and do various things like making castings and stuff like that for a bit of extra $.

We've got a diverse bunch here , that's cool. I am currently working in security. I went through a municipal police academy and am looking for a job in a PD. Before this I worked in retail sales as a dept sup. for 5 years.

Love the boots, man.

I work as a full-time painter on weekdays, and every other weekend I pull some hours at the local nursing home as a housekeeping aide. Not sure if I'll stick around the latter job for too much longer.

I have a 2 year degree in art/design and a BA in anthropology. I came close to being an archaeologist, but didn't want to go to school for 2 more years. I currently manage a fostercare site for young adults with mental illness. Challenging job!!!

I am a sysetms Engineer for Lockheed Martin Aerospace division. Specifically we design, build, test and fly satellite antennas for various space crafts around the world. Admittedly i'm a nerd. But a good looking, cool nerd(so my wife says)!!!

Im currently working for a large company in the uk, i work as a tagging officer, basically i fit tags around peoples ankles that have come out of prison or are on bail, i have to make sure they are not violating their curfews and occasionally have to track them to see if they are where they should be.....its as close as a bounty hunter im gonna get!!

Human Capital Management Services.
Boring. As. Hell.
More or less, it's a staffing agency for IBM and some other software comapanies. Individual consultants and 1099 people send their invoices for hours worked to me, I process them, and make sure the people get paid. The work is tedious and repetitive, and while my department is all cool people, everybody else in the company is mean and not-so-cool. Definitely pays my bills, and funds the costuming hobby.
When I turn 21 I will try to get a bartending job on the side for some extra dough.

I'm a peon.


As of right now I do concrete work (Sidewalks, drives, mobile home pilars and foundations, mobile home people are great to work with. ), I've also recently added water services under my belt, which went alot smoother than I could of expected. But later on, I have plans for Hollywood. *smells hands* "Supastar!" I realy have no idea what my profesion will be as of yet.....I've thought about 5-6 things, but they all have draw backs of some kind, and there's deffintly no buisness around here for anything.

Deputy United States Marshal and Major in the Army Reserve

I am the Export sales manager at a electronics manufacturing plant....and a student

strip club dj. i play the songs that the girls get naked to so you give them money. and then they tip me at the end of the night. we call it, "the circle of life." then on my days off from there i spin at another local night club. and i also own my own mobile dj service. pretty much if it involves having a party i'm involved in it someway.

hey jango5402, i've always wondered about this: in my line of work could i write off a DUI as a business expense?

I am a planner/buyer. I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each day of someone else's money

Prior to that, I worked as an electronics technician, specializing in industrial electronics- drives for motor speed control. I did field service for companies and fixed their assembly lines, HVAC drives, printing presses, wherever there are big electrical motors.

i go to school...haha

I work at a Top Secret Test facility out in the California Desert.

How do you follow that one up!?!? I guess not like this- I'm president of a small financial advisory firm. Been at it for about 8 years after trading at a large regional brokerage.

Nice to see so many diverse occupations. I am an historian; my job is to salvage archives and help retrieving information and documentation of absolutely all sorts.

tech nerd.

i'm a senior linux systems administrator for a healthcare related business. we take over the scheduling / billing / faxing / etc... for doctors' offices, and manage it all in house with a web interface to it all.

i make sure that the web interface is available 24 x 7 x 365.

I'm a graphic designer.
=)

I'm a Canadian Federal employee working for Royal Canadian Monted Police. Without me, those poor boys would be going to work naked!!

I'm an operations manager for a Japanese electronics company's western Canada division. I absolutely hate it! That's why I'm going back to school part time to get my Paramedic certifications. I'm sick of having a job I hate just because it pays the bills.

Electronics Technician at a VLF transmitter site.

Veterinarian and hospital owner.

Hey this is a great idea!! Well, I am currently a full time student at Florida State University (FSU). And for money, I work on campus and off campus for fast food. It sucks but it is a job for money. Other then that I am a fully licensed bartender and do freelancing jobs around the area. GREAT money but to random to count on. I am going for Geography degree focusing on Geology. I basically study rocks and where rocks are at. For free time....wait there is no free time. When I should be sleeping, I am working on the Fett. ROTJ all the way!!! Cheers!

HAHA! You ALMOST sound like me! But I don't have the degrees.

I am a "starving artist". I'm trying to get my work seen more. Getting ready for a couple shows now. Hope something good comes out of them! Also just had one of my pieces published in a book. No money from it though. Hence the reason I am a "starving artist". LOL!

By day, I'm an advanced technical support specialist for Sprint. At night, I'm either DJing (although not in a strip club), or playing keyboards (also, unfortunately, not in a strip club).

I own the Starwerks Karaoke entertainment company, and I'm 'mobilizing' the business in October. I hope to make it my only source of income sometime in 2009!

By day Graphic Designer at a book publishing co. By night a freelance Illustrator. During the day I work in photoshop. By night in acrylics, oils, what ever it takes to make a painting look good.

There sure are a bunch of artistic peeps here!!!

I am a Civil Engineering consultant for the government and a sergeant in the British Army (part time).

By night however i am.........na can't tell you or i would have to kill yer

eh, well I did go to school (for a while anyways) for computer engineering lol, but I decided I needed some real life experience and started working for UPS as a sorter/unloader. Now I'm a Preload Supervisor and pretty happy with my job I go to work in the early morning and finish around 9am and have the rest of the day to goof off or do whatever, maybe in a couple years Division Manager... oooh yeah

I probably have THE most boring job here. I'm an Air Conditioning Duct Mechanic. Basically, I run jobs from time to time, but most of the time I install sheet metal ductwork on commercial job sites. Right now, I'm working at a local college on remodeling the Fine Arts building (the EXACT same stage I sang on when I went to that college 12 years ago.)

All this talk about going back to school (and working at the college) has made me want to go back. So, probably this weekend, I'm enrolling in an online film school!

Let's make a movie!

David.

fedex delivery driver

I'm a graphic designer for Las Vegas Magazine.

I worked on US Navy aircraft engines like turbo fans, turbo props and turbo shafts for about 16 years or so. After 10 yrs. of active duty I enlisted in the reserves for another 6 years but worked full time as a computer operator which involves working with Cray systems, IBM RS400s and tape silos. Later on, I worked for a financial company as a computer operator working on SQL query language and some SQL server cluster administration. Since the birth of my daughter in 2005, I have been a part-time realtor and a full-time dad...boy I really miss talking to adults and doing challenging things!

Senior CSR for a major Group Insurance company, and freelance web designer/graphic artist.

Federal Firefighter for the Navy, same kind of work as the city dose just not as many calls and gets paid a LOT better

Also im the Station Chief/Team Chief for my Army Reserve unit. Im a firefighter there also. Well not so much a firefighter, more like a paper pusher these days. About to become the acting first sergeant here shortly from what im being told; but ive been told that for a while. All the responsibility none of the pay

So if anyone on the Houston area is interested in becoming a Army Reserve firefighter let me know. I know cheap plug

COOL! I too have a B.A. in Anthropology. From the University of Memphis. It makes my fedora and Wested Jacket fit better! My day job, however, is Department Manager(Seasonal Dept.) for Lowe's Home Improvements here in Corbin, Ky (Birthplace of KFC). I did spend 5 years as a Casino Host at Hollywood Casino in Tunica, MS back in the 90's. DREAM JOB for a single guy, however, I was married with children. No longer have the wife, but have full custody of my son and daughter. So it's ALL GOOD!

I'm a Prosthetic and Orthotic Technician.... I basically make artificial limbs and braces.... Ive also spent some time working as a Funeral Conductor... Both very challenging jobs... Not really what I expected to become after finishing my BA degree in Fine Art....

LCDR in the US Navy. I started out as an enlisted nuke on subs and then I became a nuke officer. The Navy sent me for my graduate degree in Medical Physics. Currently I am a Radiation Oncology Physicist and I run the Radiation Oncology Department at Naval Medical Center San Diego.

I worked part time as a cash register jockey, but have quit to finish up my last semester of college. In December I'll be a graduate with a degree in communications/PR so not really sure what I'm going to be other than very happy to have it over with.

I am a product designer, currently working for a product design consultancy called Edge Product Development in Newtown, PA. I'm working on designing next generation Military Body armor, amongst other projects. The armor project just takes up most of my time.
Previously I've worked as a mechanic for a police department for 7 years, and worked as a product designer for Hasbro toys, Fisher Price toys, Frontgate Catalogue, and Ethicon Endo Surgery.

How's the new job lonewolf? Haven't heard from you since you left lux. I think it's pretty cool how you ended up with the job.

Home Theater lead installer for best buy

I'm a flight instructor and recently promoted to stagecheck airmen (which is essentially a pilot who conducts the academy flight exams.) This is a VERY fun job, but the promotion means I work long hours ... which is why I don't get a chance to visit here as much as I use to. Anyway, I'll probably be flying a Boeing-737 in about 2 years and will obtain my dream job of a Boeing-747 captain in about 7 years. Looking forward to it.

Here's a recent picture of me:

I'm a Maintenance Supervisor at the moment. I am going to the School of Communication Arts for 3D Animation; so I guess I'm a nerd!

I´m a Paramedic/Fire Fighter/General Rescue person. But Paramedic is what I do most of the time.
Before that I was a Combat Medic/Paramedic in the Royal Danih Army for 10 years.

I'm a student/ intern at an engineering firm. Used to get paid, but economy sucks lol. Looking for a job as of now.

I'm a Firefighter/EMT-I for a small town. I was also a Fire/Police/EMS Dispatcher and back in my younger days I was a Aeromed Evac Tech in the USAF.
