I work at American Eagle trying to convince people to buy clothes. Up until about a month ago I had been working in the restaurant business. My first job was at McDonald's and then I was a cook at a local restaurant.

I fix these...

Haha, I always got a kick out of it when they'd test those things while I was deployed. Even deep in the bowels of the ship where me and all the other spooks were, we could hear the BZZZZZZZZZZZT. BZZZZZZZZZZZT. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZT. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT. I wanted to go topside and watch, but we weren't allowed because they were usually testing DU rounds. :rant:

That stopped you guys? Fuckin' Navy.

I've got a picture somewhere of me wearing a belt of DU rounds like Rambo. Also got a picture of me biting the exposed sabot. Hell, I've done just about every dumb thing you could do with them, short of pleasuring myself.

....I also get a very thorough, extensive and moderately invasive physical from the VA every few months. Wonder if they're related :scratch:

Telecom technician. The best thing is that it's a union job. Get yourself into any job that has a union if you're getting a day job. Also put yourself on the path to success in the music industry, get a plan and stick with it.

Seemingly a professional student- 4 degrees done, and working on #5 and 6.

Beyond that, I've designed and sold a number of different technologies as a biomedical engineer.

Me and my cousin own a computer repair/sales shop.
He services business and pretty much spends all day programing and maintaining servers while I run the shop fixing computers and selling them :)

Not working for the NSA unfortunately (and yes, Hanover is very close), that is somewhere I want to work in the future. Almost impossible to get sponsored for a Poly for my clearance. I've only been out of the Army a couple of years so I have time to make that job happen. I landed a great job after only five years in the service, so I can't complain at all.

You worked at Bioware?!?!? You are officially my sso.org god now :wavey:

I provide technical support for a database company. Sometimes I even get unchained from my desk to go onsite and replace hardware on occasion.

What'd you do when you were in? Where you a linguist, or did you work on the signals/systems side of things? I was an Arabic linguist in the Navy for 5 years, myself.

Believe it or not I was an Infantryman! Not really the MOS you think of going into the defense industry, but I had a strong background in operations and that is what got me the job. I was able to translate those skills into project management very easily; obviously my knowledge of the military didn't hurt.

Arabic linguist? Not an easy language to learn, had a lot of friends wash out of the school, so I commend you!

I'm a speech-language pathologist.

I work at a local hospital doing inpatient and outpatient rehab services. I evaluate and treat patients for various disorders and issues affecting their speech, their ability to use/understand language, and their ability to eat and swallow safely and efficiently. I treat patients ranging from newborn babies with feeding difficulties to elderly people who have had strokes, and all ages in between.

Cool, that's what my sister does. Rather, it's what she's qualified to do. Right now she's working as a speech therapist for a special-needs school in Texas.

Cool! My mom is a speech path, actually. She works in elementary schools though. Ironically, I stutter :lol:
