I'm 32, so work experience hasn't been too long. I'm currently the Senior Writer for Huggins and Scott Auctions. In my past life I was.....

A market research representative for Arbitron Ratings and a two year missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) in Central Texas and the panhandle plains of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. It was unpaid, but full-time and taught me many skills that has helped me in my paid career

Currently a banking lawyer, specializing in all areas of secured lending/corporate finance. In the last year it's been all distressed lending, work-outs and debt restructurings.

But in a few weeks I will be the co-president of a credit card processing company.

And life begins again.

I just had to look at the signature line in my work email to find out my title; Telecom/Network Analyst.

I spend most of my time in network firewalls allowing and denying traffic.  So I guess I am a traffic cop.

Burritos too!

Mike, Were you serious?..

Oh Burrito, you are supreme
with chicken, refrieds, and sour cream.
Taco Bell is the better deal,
but Moe's lasts me for two meals.
Breakfast, dinner, or even lunch,
I love a burrito a whole bunch.

See that, I don't need no stinkin' degree.

Dentist...After 12 years of being an associate at another practice, my partner and I decided to open our own practice from scratch (which explains why I have the time to sit at the computer right now). Nothing like reading about cards after doing a root canal. Have a nice day!

Another professor here (Business). It may be that the occupations that show up often are the ones where people have "discretionary" time during the day to read the board.

Barry, I am not sure why they are featured so prominently in this thread.

However, I would like to go on record with a couple of statements:
1) I ate at a Taco Bell once. Worst week of my life.
2) I am not a lawyer. I did take the LSATs once while trying to figure out my calling. I had the flu that day, filled in the scan-tron form's last 25 circles without reading the questions, and scored in the 43rd percentile. That dream was over before I could tell my first lie
3) Steve, you are plenty well-educated. Schools are great tools for sharpening your thinking skills if you use them correctly, but they are also usually just great places to hide from the real world until you are ready to do something with your life!

I'm a 4th grade teacher in the largest elementary building in north central Ohio. My students earn free Taco Bell food when they get all A's B's (and I didn't make that up!) I also teach percussion (drums) to a wonderful group of high school kids in my hometown.

HOWEVER, if SGC or PSA has any openings for graders, please let me know!

Dan: you probably wouldn't recognize my voice as it is unenhanced...but in the past I've done voice overs for Ford Truck (built Ford Tough...they compressed my voice so it was even lower and more "base-y"),NBC news,Weather Channel,Sci Fi,HBO..I've done quite a few impersonations (NIcholson,both Bushes,Clinton,impersonated Billy Bob as Sling Blade for Comedy Central blah,blah ad infitum) for"fun" promos....and I've acted in countless student films (stand-up comedian,mob tough guy,baseball player when I was younger...etc) as I mentor students in the business. I've cut down the "acting" to almost nothing,and I don't have talent representation anymore or I'd probably be doing more v.o. work...my real job (senior commercial editor) takes up too much time now and keeps me happy. I love television...and at the same time,can't WAIT to retire and move to New Mexico with my wife!

I went to Law School and graduated but never took the Bar so I guess I fit in with both groups on here (The Lawyers and the non-Lawyers)

I am not really sure how my bills get paid, but one thing I do know is that I have a guilty pleasure for Taco Bell.
