I own a video rental store specializing in independent films, foreign films, documentaries, stuff like that, although we have some mainstream stuff too.
I'll be obsolete in ten years, max, when everyone just downloads everything and never leaves the house.
Radio, schmadio...video killed the radio star! Let's hear it for TV professionals!

Wow, I am impressed by some of the jobs mentioned here. Not terribly surprised though, given some of the intelligent conversations that occur on the board.

Like my bio says, I attempt to teach college students how to speak and write in a fashion that indicates some familiarity with the American language. Currently, I'm teaching Presentation Techniques and College Composition, but I'll be picking up an Ethics class and an Organizational Comm class in the fall. I also moonlight as a general laborer/jack of all trades at a Christmas Tree farm. Most importantly, I'm also the parent of two children.

I'm currently in the process of dropping out of high school, looking to get my GED and head off to Fitchburg State College to major in Communications or some other field that'll eventually have me hosting Jeopardy and running the show behind the scenes on Wheel of Fortune. It's this dream I have. :)

Lets just say when you here the word "shortage" it's BS. Granted crude oil is up a little bit which does add to some of the cost, but not near enough to equal what you are paying now. The national average for gas come July will be over $2 a gallon (which I know it already is some places) you can bank on that.
WIENER OF THE DAY! July 6, 2002!
Wienerville Survivor League Co-Champion If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.

And probably work about 60-70 hours a week making somewhere between 2-3 bills a week...I'm not mocking, this is "been there /done that/ own the t-shirt/still have the badge of honor in my storage boxes somewhere" sympathy.

Am I the only person who hope this kid signs into the NFL and Roy Williams and Parcells get to let that comment stew for the next 7 months?
I'm a biologist for a chemical company. I will be sitting for my boards in nursing come June and then move into a clinical setting. And finish my grad work in cell biology. Oh, and push out a kid in August so then I'll be a mommy, too.
