Print Page - What Do You Do???

Hi Guys,

I know what some of you guys do for a living in this community, but for the vast majority, I have no idea if you work for a living, are in school, or whatever. I thought it would be cool to list here what everyone does. If you are in college, tell us what your major is. I was just wondering, because take for instance Mauti...I know he is in college, and works a job or two on the side, but I have no idea what his major is in college, or what he does in his jobs. So here's your chance to tell the community a little bit about yourself!

I'll start:

Most of you know that I served 8 years in the military (4 years in the U.S. Army and another 4 years in the U.S. Air Force). Since I got out of the military in 1998 I have been in the car business...first selling cars, and then going into management about a year and a half ago. Now I'm the Fleet Sales Manager where I handle all of the government and commercial vehicle sales for my dealership.

So, tell us about YOU!

Alright I leave out my cirriculum vitae and start what I do right now:

I'm studying media computer science at the vienna university of technoiogy(http://www.tuwien.ac.at). I'm right now in my 6th term and work on my diploma thesis. Next term I should have my bachelor. Then I continue with the Master program(Diplom-Ingenieur: Dipl.-Ing. or D.I.). So in around 2 and half years I should be completely finished with university.

We don't have majors here in Austria - but you could say I'm stuyding computer science with focus on media, including movie production/game developing/human user interaction design. My master may will be done in the same category or may I change to computer graphics.

Next to university I'm working as salesman(lamps and furniture) once a week, for Elandrion's father's transport company as parttime driver(but this one has been reduced very much due time constraints with university) and with a bit luck once a year I get a job to make an Offroad Event movie for different car and tuning manufacturers. I have already done one for Sony Austria, Toyota Austria, Hekla Tuning(Mac downloads), Two Oaks Offroadtraining and Motorline.cc.

Alright that's what I do for my living.

Bye,

Mauti
ps.: and I run a crazy thing called *DAMN

I'm majoring in culinary arts (training to be a chef) and ummm. That's about it. I'm also a part-time drunkard, and a part-time musician, although I haven't been in a band in quite some time. Working on putting a celtic rock band together. That's about it right now. ::applause::

I'm Snipe, and I'm an alcoholic.

--Senior in high school.

--So far: Accepted to UConn and Delaware U Honors Program.

--Plan on majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

--I am a competitive sleeper.

--My other interests include technical theater, and slacking off (like I'm doing right now during my free period, when I SHOULD be doing work).

I'm a graphic designer, I work in a design agency.
One of our biggest clients is D'Ieteren, its a big car company. They got Skoda, Seat, Volkswagen, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi and a few more. Almost all the Belgian catalogs and some foreign catalogs are made by our agency. I get to see all the new cars before anyone else does 8)

Next to my job, I spend my time working on websites and online gaming.

Currently attending Central Michigan University, Sophomore Status. Wanting to transfer to the Art Center of Pasadena, Chicago Art Institute, or the College for Creative Studies (Detroit).

Majoring in Graphic Design and hopefully Interning this summer at JWT Detroit.

go to uconn, its a good school, i have them loosing to illinois in the final though.

I'm a freshman at boston university, majoring in english with a minor in film, and possibly acting.

I'm studying Physics on the Technical University of Vienna, and am currently in my 6th term out of 10. In my free time, I work voluntarily for the austrian dependance of the Order of St. John (http://www.johanniter.at) as an EMT. The other time, i'm mostly slacking off.

I start my Masters in Public Policy at Uni of Colorado in the fall. In lieu of gainful employment that is relevant to my career goals, I am having to opt for unpaid internship/volunteer work at the time being and after the summer when I have a few bits of experience to list I hope for paid internship.

Senior in High School, and I stopped giving a fuck in middle school. Now I'm wishing I had, but hey what can you do? I'm hoping to go to my local tech school and then possibly pursue higher education at Clemson University or The University of South Carolina or joining the services.

Oh yeah, my current job is at GameStop, where they give me like 11 hours a week, so I'm not really making money there, I just spend it on games anyway.

I was a self employed graphic designer until the .com crash. Most of my clients were high tech (HP, Agilent, Fluke) and that pretty much went down the tubes in Seattle. So to fill the spare time I started doing handyman stuff - fixing up people's houses. The demand is so great that I do that full time now.

Pay is about the same, it's low stress and I'm not pushing a mouse all day. I'm glad to see (most) everyone's interest in education, I know my 7 years in college have paid off big ;) - I'm probably the only handyman with a BFA. But seriously, a good education is priceless.

Student at the University of Oslo, Norway. I study English, religion, ethics and pedagogy(allthough not all at once, but everything is nicely spread over the years I have been here, and the years I have left). Guess ppl by now will realise that when I am done, I will be a teacher....yeah yeah yeah, I'm a masochist ;)

Currently running around like A road runner on acid as i approach the last few weeks of my Degree in Time Based Media ( BA Hons ) Its currently taking up just bout 95% of my life apart from eating sleeping and working as a Doorman/Bouncer.

Spend most of my time in-front of this damn mac designing and building all sorts of interactive media or working in Editing and Post production for film. Spend all my holidays working from dawn til dusk with the odd smatterings of crazy shenanigans in disgustingly powerful bits of machinery or 600cc turbo charged Quad bikes!!

other stuff, erm, classical musician, and been member of several national schools and academies of music... oh and i also enjoy trying to excersise myself to death in numerous rowing teams with little more than a thirst for more beer and a few medals and pots etc.

would write more not going to which leads me to the fact im a great big bastard i love food, all food and any food and beer. oh yes and being lazy.

ps... and im a bloody Gaming whore :D

Full time student, and junior at The Ohio State University www.osu.edu (http://www.osu.edu), I am a Political Science major, and may minor in psychology.

After graduation, i plan on attending the University of Baltimore School of Law, or if I rob a bank, I plan on bribing Paul Wolfowitz, to get into the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

if that doesn't work out, i may move to Bangkok, Thailand, and drift from port to port for a few years.

Graduated with a BA in Communications/ Creative Advertising. I minored in Graphic Design and American Studies. I currently work as a In-house designer for a Computer company and I recently started my own design company as side work. With wiggy, I chat most of the day while working and at night I work some more but I do it while drinking. I hope when I grow up to be something cool like a super hero

Oh, I forgot to tell what I studied in college. I was a dual-major...got a BA in History and a BS in Political Science (back in the day when you could actually get a BS in Political Science...lol). I am currently working on my Masters in International Studies (will be all done this summer). I don't know why I went to college, or have continued my education in my spare time, as none of it helps out in my career in any way, shape, or form. ugh

Majored in Liberal Studies, Spanish and Elementary Education at Loyola Marymount University in LA.

I now am in my first full time year of teaching ... 3rd grade... yes.... people trust me with kids.

I'm a Chef. I run a Latin cafe (80 seats) in Gainesville, Florida. Home of the Gators. I lead a crew of 12, including dish and prep, preparing Nuevo Latino (carribean with mediterannean and south american influence) for North Central Florida.
I've been cooking professionally for 15 years, with about 6 years of that being bakery work. I have never been formally schooled, but i have worked with some amazing chefs in some fantastic places.

Im thinking to go back to school to pursue food science~ "nutritional alchemy". I really like figuring out the how and why of food: It's fun to look at a recipe and know it won't work because it's overloaded on baking powder and then have the ability to fix it.

I'm 33, married ten years with a four year old son.

I'm a bar manager in the UK. Been in and out of jobs for ages but this ones kinda cool. Mum decided at the age of 16 to ship the family to Austrailia where i spent a year doing nothing since the laws changed to mean that I couldn't do education over there. By the end of April i should have my own License to open a pub (the UK laws are changing which means the company has to make me a licensee). Once thats done I'm looking to go somewhere other than UK to work, probably as bar manager. I see myself on a nice white sandy beach, hot woman walking by and sipping a cool alchoholic beverage.

Other interests, well theres loads. I love doing stuff with my hands, like making snooker cues, general wood working etc. I'm currently a mediocre web designer, probably not good enough for a living but I love it too much to give up.

nark?

Yo!

I'm a music video director. i used to do commercials and music videos, but after doing a shitload of commercials back to back, i decided to only make what i love to make. so i stayed with the music. i started in los angeles where i lived for about 15 years off and on. after working in production for many years, i decided to follow my dream and only direct. that brought me back to europe where i am now. norway to be more excact. most of my work has been scandinavian, but in recent months i have started to do quite a bit of videos for uk acts.

and when the time allows it, i try to spend ALL my time playing ghr!

Well, I'm in Gulfport, MS...about 462 miles from you. But you are right on my way to Disney World so send me an IM with the name and address of your restaurant and maybe I'll stop by when I go to Disney this summer (oh, and leave me your real name too...I don't want to have to ask for ReverandMoss).

Also, I'm 31, married 10 years (11 this November), and have a 5-year-old daughter.

I'm a student at Full Sail, a college in Winter Park, Florida, which is right next to Orlando. I'm in the Game Design & Development Bachelor's degree program (21 months total, I'm in month 7). It's 4+ years of material compressed into < 2 years of school, so the work load is pretty heavy, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm not exactly sure where I want to go after graduating.

Currently a Freshman at Central Washington University, looking to major in IT, specifically network and database administration/design. However, considering the very poor state of CWU's IT department, I'm seriously considering other colleges at this point, though I am planning to stay for all of next year to complete General Ed. requirements, and see if their higher level IT courses impress me enough to stay there for a full four years.

I will soon be working for CWU as an RCC (Resident Computer Consultant) which basically boils down to someone keeping the computer labs quiet and orderly, and helping people with computer problems when they have them (the two biggest problems being people getting onto and registered by the network, and cleaning their computer of viruses/spyware)

And I'm not currently in any sports (i would think/hope the 10 years of swimming i have under my belt would count for something) however I am an avid biker, and before the end of spring quarter, I intend to ride my bike back home (~120 miles on I-90 over the cascade mountains) Who wants to place bets on how long it takes me to get run over by a semi? ;D

he he sure BFG, when i start doing bigger acts in the uk :) you can bounce me around

so far in the last three months, Anton Gordon, Fundamental(heavy rotation on mtv uk yohoo)
rouge(new act) bronz n black featuring styles p and another one im shooting in a week and a half.
btw, if you happen to be in London this weekend, ask Civ or Neo for my cell number and we'll share a beer with a straw.

*gone for 4 days

have a good one

I work at Emiliano's Cafe. We're right downtown. Ask anyone there for ReverendMoss and they'll know exactly who you're talking about.

No joke. ;D

Forgot you were going to Full Sail. Me and Rebs live about 20 minutes away, we should all get together and hang sometime. Have a drink or two, shoot the breeze, corrupt your youth, yada yada. :D

I'm about to graduate with a Specialized Honours degree in Kinesiology & Health Science from York University (http://www.kinesiology.yorku.ca/index.htm) in Toronto, Canada eh! In addition to being a Certified Kinesiologist, I am also a Certified Fitness Consultant and Certified Relaxation Therapist (not practicing).

I have recently been accepted to Chiropractic College (www.cmcc.ca) here in Canada, so I will be studying Chiropractic medicine for the following 4 years.

I game (CoD:UO) in my spare time and I run track (sprinter)/workout....I hate going to bed and I love to sleep in, what a combo!!!

I am also interested in perhaps doing a Masters of Science (Course Work not thesis based) in Kinesiology & Health Science, but that would be after Chiro College if I do.

Im from Winter Park. Friend of mine taught in the Game Design program (Creative Writing and Game Documentation) Laura Cunningham... it'd be funny if she was a teacher of yours.

I'm thankful to have moved away, but i do miss WP sometimes...
