For a living I process nutrients and water into waste products inside my body and then dump them out all the while converting a percentage of the air I breathe into carbon dioxide. Add a little sunshine and excersise and music and viola...life!

My wife says I aggravate her for a living...but what the hell does she know!

Oh yea, I have a small HVAC/R company on the side to earn money ;)

Ace, does the Civil Air Patrol pay? I thought it was something like a volunteer organization.

You should see them in Florida boss. California avo's are really expensive until they start to get slightly soft (the perfect time to eat them) then the price drops significantly because no one wants them anymore. Florida avo's are hard all the time so that is what they are used to. Cheap avo's. That's the only thing I miss about the frickin state. Well, that and no state income tax.

PhD student in applied mathematics, studying mathematical biology / ecology with an emphasis on evolutionary applications.

In order to support myself as a grad student, I work in whatever area my department happens to need me to work in -- some quarters I teach calculus, some quarters I do next to nothing. I'm hoping next year to teach elementary-school math (which, surprisingly, pays a LOT.) I also work part-time as an assistant to our sysadmin.

I work for AAFES at Maxwell AFB, out in the Garden Center. It helps pay my way through tech school (programming) since I didn't have the money nor the attention span for a 4 year school (tried Clemson for a year).

It's fun stuff, I get to drive a forklift, and spend 6 hours minimum in the heat on trailors and junk.

I'm a motivational speaker. I live in a van, down by the river.


Actually I'm in retail sales, with a possibility of becoming an IT Resources Manager with Texas Instruments. I'm CCNA level with Cisco. I'm learning Japanese, so maybe I'll get to do translation or something over there. Now THAT would be fun...
