Getting to know the members! What does everyone do for a living?

Several occupations here. Some paying and some not.

My main job is lead Prepress technician for a large commercial printer here on the east coast. Just celebrated 15 years with this fine place, but working for someone else sucks, so there's....

..Job #2 which is owning my own Graphic design business designing jobs in both print and online.

My third is co-owner of a startup business with my partner which is overseeing a new site for the bear community. Crossing fingers it works out so I can eliminate jobs 1 & 2 :).


What was I supposed to put here again?!?!

Sheesh! i gues coaster junkies do come from ALL walks of life.

Well, my PAST jobs have included working in a video store (a Movie Gallery in Concord, NH) The pay sucked, but I could watch all the movies I wanted too

- Pizza Delivery Guy (for small shop in Concord, NH called Constaly Pizza)

-Truck Driver (still hold a valid class A CDL)

-Laborer (construcion)

- Packer (junk mail that is, for a prining company, temp work)

AND my FIRST JOB....

- Working at Sears (lasted only a week)

Hey, I graduated from "MCO" in 2001. I recently drove by and it sure does look.... smaller than I remember!!

Is Yeasting still teaching anatomy? Yuck - I don't miss those days!!

Best of luck.

Mechanical Engineer for Lockheed Martin for about 2.5 years now, before that was just school and SFKK about 8 years ago...
I learned AutoCAD in high school and understood the program like I was born to work with it.

My original thought was to become a CG Animator. While earning my Graphic Design degree, I found out that it's mostly contract work. :( I continued with my GD degree and now work at a Sports Licensed Division of the adidas Group in Indy. I'm a Production Artist (I need to emphasize on Production NOT Creative). I'm a very small, but important, part in a very long line for the Women's apparel for the NFL, NHL, NBA and NCAA. Benefits are great! But it's brutal sitting in front of a computer most of the time.

So, I'm back to school! This time, Bakery and Pastry Arts. I have thoughts to own my own small bakery, but I've never worked in the industry, I should probably start there first. ;) I should have this degree by the end of 2009.

I also want to be the person who has to ride the coasters and evaluate them. Know where I can sign up? ;) (partially not kidding)

Child care -- specifically family child care. In other words, I have a half a dozen kids in my house for ten hours a day... and no kids the rest of the time. LOL. Not the best paying job in the world, but it's fun and I love the kids.

Also seems to be a departure from the norm around here, mostly the science-tech sector.

Cool thread! :)

I actually work two jobs. During the day I'm a warehouse administrative assistant for a digital jukebox company.

The rest of the time I'm a freelance artist who works in the anime and manga style ( japanese cartoons...big eyes, small mouths, annoying electric rats ^_~ ). I do graphic novels, a webcomic, occasionally character design and cover illustrations for video games and table top games (i.e. board games or RPG's) and do original commission work for people. I also travel alot to conventions alot during the year to sell our wares, so it eats up alot of our vacation time and I don't get to as many parks as I'd like.

Next year I think we're slimming our schedule a bit so we can take a week long road trip and hit some of the parks we've always wanted to, i.e. Holiday World and Busch Gardens Europe =)

Watch out for flying maps!

I have to say that I give credit to those folks who can deal with an abundance of kids. That's a talent all it's own! I applaud you! Same goes for those stay-at-home mom's. Whoever says you don't have a job, is not understanding the full picture there! ;)

Guys, don't you EVERY give any credit to those who work with the public (like me!)?

I deal with customers at an airport for many hours a day. There are days when I want to put half of them throught a wall and let the other half be sucked in by a running jet engine. Either that or "Indiana Jones" them!

Strange but bizarrely compelling thread.
