What do you do for a living?
I am just curious as to what you do to afford this hobby. I guess since I asked I will start this...
I am a Database Admin / IT Manager / computer tech / Lan Tech / Inside Sales rep for a video manufacturer. In laymans terms, I surf the internet for 6.5 hours a day, drink coffee non-stop, and laugh at my co-workers cause their email isn't working.

I work as a Graphic Artist (bet you'd never guess) for a company that is a marketing and software solutions provider. (No, we don't do Telemarketing)
(http://www.marketingconcepts.com/)
So my day consists of drawing pictures, retouching photos, and preparing them for print and web. (And for RCU of course
)

Air Traffic Controller. Sort of like Radio Control, except with a microphone instead of 2 sticks. Oh yeah - and the model usually does what I tell it to, unlike the full scale ones.

What do you do for a living?
I am a software consultant under contract to the US Army. I write software that transfers images of drawings to CD's. I prefer 'C' but work primarily in C++. I write the installation scripts in InstallShield. I have done some Fortran, Java, a lot of HTML, and some ASM. The great thing about my job is that I learn something new almost every day. In my spare time, I....hmmmm....it has been so long since I had any spare time, I can't remember what I did.

Project Manager for Commercial Architecture firm that focuses on restaurants. If you've eaten at Chili's, Maggiano's, Chuck E Cheese, or California Pizza Kitchen lately, one of the people I work with (or myself, of course) knows pretty much every intimate detail about the place.
Oh, and for about 1/4 of the time that I'm supposed to be working I'm on here seeing how other people waste their day.

Retireded!
I used to to do Computer and telephone communications tech and management stuff. Being retired is a lot more fun. Will be even more fun when I get my workshop built. Got my own flying field in my front yard.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at Auburn University. I'm home for the Summer and I landed a Summer temporary job at a factory down here with a semi-good pay. I'm using a bit of my Summer money to order my Savage SS, and saving a bit more of it for hop-ups and fuel down the road
