    Just throwing this out here to see what people do for a living. I know borderlands is the common ground between all of us but there may be more we could relate to. I know a bunch of members are probably students so say what your going to school for. You may get some assistant from someone on here.

    I skipped the college and went straight into the real world. I'm now a assistant superintendent with a general contractor doing commercial buildings.

    I believe moose mentioned being in the construction field also.

    I live in South Carolina specifically Aiken County. Just a few minutes from Georgia. For awhile I used to live in Charlotte NC near the Carolina Panthers stadium. Minutes walk from up town Charlotte where all the tall buildings are.

    I'm a musician. I just finished my undergrad degree in double bass performance, and while I'm auditioning for graduate work to eventually play professionally or be a university educator, I work at a copy/design/print business.

    I play all styles...orchestral/solo classical, jazz, rock, bluegrass, hip hop/RnB, death metal, reggae, country...if it pays, and it's fun, I'll play! I currently play with a professional symphony, have a couple of jazz combos I play with, and two rock bands.

    I'm a porter/housekeeper for high rise loft apartments in downtown San Antonio. I've been around the block with different jobs going from professions like machinist to Radioshack sales associate. The place I'm at now is opening new doors for me to become a mainteance man but I just need to take the courses. Its a good stepping stone for now but what I am passionate for is having to wait which is number crunching. I want to finish going to school to be an accountant. But with the way things are going I might switch paths again before I get too old and become a graphic artist or game programmer.

    Customer service rep for the local utility company. Basically sit in front of a computer and talk on the phones to people all day. Fun. Pays the bills, feeds the family, keeps a roof over our heads. I'm also a musician, well... aspiring, really, though I've been playing guitar for probably 15 years and drums for 5. I'm not pretentious enough to call myself a true musician with my admittedly limited skill and knowledge. So nothing of a professional quality. Playing local gigs, recording, making music videos (one so far, anyway) and generally enjoying making some organized noise. It's something my wife and I enjoy doing together, so we do it.

    I'm a manufactured roof and floor truss designer. I design mostly residential roof trusses, but lately here in Washington commercial building is starting to boom. So I've been working on a few monster apartments and Hotels.
