what do you do for a living?:D:D:D:D:D

[magmon]

Im currently a student. I hope to write a book one day though, I believe my story would be extremely popular and would make a very action packed movie xD.

[MikeTheC]

I regularly zip-line my way into skyscrapers and take out bad guys who are bent on world domination.

Most of the time it's actually rather boring work, but sometimes it can be challenging.

[Majorix]

I am a programmer looking to shift to system administration.

[geekygirl]

tinker with really expensive helicopters...*yawn*

[chucky chuckaluck]

secret agent.


edit: oops! (damn!)

[Blu Fox]

Student, entering my senior year.

I hope to enter the United States Air Force either after college or high school, still not sure.

[lisati]

Long-term welfare recipient (assorted health issues in our house, and keeping Mrs Lisati happy is sometimes a full-time job) Welfare payments supplemented by occasional video work.

[AllRadioisDead]

Highschool student!

[PurposeOfReason]

I go to uni. About 7-8 quarters left. I'm trying to be done in two years or less from now (which would make my total time 3 years). Going for a major in CSCI with a possible minor in math. I'm trying to end up at Microsoft for three main reasons:
1) Money. I need it, they give it in good quantities.
2) An old neighbor said she'd give me a high recommendation (she is decently high up there, not sure what she does but it isn't computer stuff).
3) I live in Bellingham. Going down to Redmond area would be cool with me as I love this area of the country and would love be be closer to Seattle.

There also is the fact that I don't care what I'm doing as long as I can get into it.

EDIT - Then again, I'd take any IT job that could make me $57,000USD or more a year out of college. Sounds unreasonable, but it happens. Just have a decent enough GPA, a year or so internship and some good recs.
