RE: What is your profession?
Done lots of things over the years.
In the late 70's I managed a retail electronics store with a bit over a million dollars/ year in sales
In the 80's I worked in a commercial bakery - from one end to the other, as a floor worker and as management
In the mid 90's I started a small construction company. Eventually sold to a larger company and worked as a VP until it folded
Currently a full time student studying Radiological Technology. Will graduate in the early summer of '10 as a Rad Tech.

RE: What is your profession?
Self employed lanscape gardener.
I do small paving jobs, fencing, build timber decks and other timber structures, do general garden tidy-ups, mulching weeding, rockwork, a bit of irrigation and whatever else people want done in their backyards.
Work by myself as I prefer it that way, and do what I want, how I want it and when it suits me.
I love working outdoors, always have, even in the scorching hot summer days we get here in Australia.
40 degrees c (104F) and 98% humidity.
Bring it on!!!!!

40degrees? Pffff, try 52 (the high this year). I thought it was much hotter in Oz.
Luckily I work in an air conditioned office, making sure my clients IT systems are properly protected, and advising how to acheive that. Basically, I'm an operating systems, DB, networks and security tech, but more of a consultant.

RE: What is your profession?
I get to fix/repair/maintain manufacturing equipment all day long. I manage and perform the preventative maintenance of all the carpet manufacturing equipment in my plant. Altogether about 30 machines. Tufting machines, yarn manufacturing machines, yarn feeding machines, carpet finishing machines. I know more about carpet than anything else on Earth. I have one of the easiest jobs ever and get paid pretty good, $18.18 an hour right now. I hope to get moved up into the $20-$22/hour range soon. Also thinking about starting up my own business, but that will be a couple years. I work on houses and cars on the side for extra money.
Sounds like Foxy gets to hack into his clients systems, then tell them how to keep it from happening in the future. Bet that's pretty fun too.

RE: What is your profession?
I'm a part time student going for computers. I'm looking to become a IT.
As for right now i do a a very basic pc repair. I have ad in the paper and right ups the whole nine yards, people drop there pc's off and i do my work they pick them up and all ends well. If they need parts they pay me and i order them and do all the work. Gives you some chunk change for weekends and other crap but would like to work at my moms job. Not her job but replace the tech they have there. She works for the state so big benefits. Tho when i graduate i get certified and can work for dell or hp right from school, you know the kind. They guy hp or dell calls and you go drive to peoples houses fixing there pc's for them. Very good pay there, just all the driving is the thing that gets you, tho they will pay for your fuel but just the driving from one end of the state to the other daily might not be for me...

RE: What is your profession?
Was studying to be a doctor at uni, but cutting up humans started to have ill effects on me and its not nice when you view everyone as a piece of tissue or muscle and think about the easiest way to hack them...

RE: What is your profession?
For six years I was a line technician at the local FBO, Fixed base operator. A fancy way of saying I worked at the airport. I loved it, see picture on my profile. I'm not there anymore because some a**hole who had opened his own FBO on the same grounds decided we had too much buiness or something so some how he convinced a local bank there was money in the buiness and bought out the company I worked for. At the same time he decided he didn't need any current employees (apparently we were paid too much anyway). So I've been out of work since the end of June.
