"What a great way to find out more about the NS community, Gen()cide!"

Oh, well I can dream of praise...Actually I thought it would be neat to see DEEPER into the lives of NS fans. What do you guys do for a living?

I am what is called a "Courtesy Clerk" at Safeway. Better known as a bagger!  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->  Bah, it pays bad but its work.

    Forum + IRC bum. Oh, these are paying jobs? I just applied for a QA at BioWaare (guys who made Boulders Gate and Neverwinter Nights). Otherwise, I'm a poor and broke kid.

    Im a cashier at Fry's Electronics. It a pretty nice job. Get to go at my own pace, make commision, usually get $300+ a week, so ive got lots of money left over...


    Hehe, courtesy clerk. I loved that job! I was the best bagger at that store, family thrift center. Im serious. They were soo upset when I moved... it was great. I would have been a manager in no time. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Uh uh. I don't know the exact word in english, but babelfish calls it industrial trader.

    Well, but I'm still learning this job (Babelfish calls it apprentice). So I'm not earning that BIG money at the moment.
    When I'm finished, I will earn about 450 - 500$ a week before taxes and other expenses that go off immediately.
    Not too bad I guess.  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    You want the long or short answer?

    Short answer: "Graphics Director" (translation - just a professional computer geek)

    Long answer: I don't want to bore anyone. You can go <a href="http://deltatraining.com/content/crew.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you're really interested.  Look for Roberts and the picture friends tell me looks like I'm a devil trying to make a deal.

    Before I became a "curteosy clerk" I had a really good job. I worked at a landscaping company planting trees,shrubs and perennials (flowers that bloom every summer). I could work outside, I didn't have to dress up or anything and I got paid more! They laid us all off after a month because we finished everything...  <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    Im studing C++ at the moment and creating a little text RPG for the other forum I'm at.  My job this summer is watching my 7yr old bro for the week for 50$ a week.  Only if my aunt got me that mailroom job at her work for 400$+ a week. (About 10$ an hour.)

    eheheheh I'm sorta doing all that

    right now I'm working full time at publix (QFC's southern equivalent for those out west.... it's a grocery store)
    and I'm a full time mathematics major at USF. don't know what I'm gonna do for a real job: equation transforms and chaostheory/abstract number theory is really interesting, but the only real practical applications for a degree in math is either in sadistics-err statistics (god I hated that class), Education (I couldn't reach myself out of a wet paper bag with a 10' hole cut in it), and encryption systems (somewhat interesting, but the math is relatively simple)

    on the other hand I've got this strange idea of joining the airforce (going to do that when I graduate anyways because of my belief in the US of A) and going through their pilot school to fly a bomber (always wanted to do that since I started playing flight sims)

    or I could become the 1st  <!--emo&:bob:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bob:'><!--endemo--> impersonator <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
