I'm a manufacturing engineer at a wastewater pump manufacturer. Also registered as an EIT in Illinois. We make the pumps that pump your shit through treatment plants! Woohoo!

Having a decent-paying job is not the same as knowing what you want to do. I am a billing clerk, but I am also a part-time student at a nearby University and, like pieman, father of three. That last job makes the first one necessary. The second one is where the dreams are at....

If I have correctly deduced the company's identity, I work in the Fabrics & Fibres division!

I'm a forensic scientist (drug chemist, more specifically) for the Commonwealth.

I don't think ANY of these jobs are what non-fans would say when you'd ask them "what kind of jobs do wrestling fans have?"
Me- I'm a student at a Community College, studying Communications. In a few years, I'll be able to APPLY for that announcer job WWE is advertising for!!

I've been unemployed since I got my bachelor's (in mass communications... yeah, I know, REAL useful) in May. Looking for a job that'll eventually lead to producing TV news, although I could also go the on-air radio talent or newspaper reporter route.
And yes, I would've applied for that announcer job if I had any professional play-by-play experience.

You should be proud of yourself, really. I interviewed for a job at Target once and they rejected me. Despite having previous experience at Walmart, I thought they'd be glad to have someone turn on Walmart and join them but I guess not.
So after that I went back to school, I go to Virginia College in Birmingham studying 3d Animation. I graduate in December so hopefully I'll get a job then, if not i'll probably start some freelance animating.
For now to make a little cash on the side I referee and keep score for church league basketball games (not both at the same time)
"Billing Configuration Specialist". That's what the business card says, but my job has evolved to the point that the title pretty much no longer applies.
Previously, I did fifteen years of radio, and yes, I too worked at Target.
I'm a Commerce Major and do some part-time work in Sales Promotion when either I need money or have time.
My favourite promotion gig was doing Smirnoff Chilled Shots. Pretty much going to bars and getting people to try and buy shots from super hot shot girls.
So I got paid to hang around hotties and get drunk.
On the flip side, I once had to do promotion for Charmin paper towels. I wanted to shoot myself. Days filled with old bags SHOCKED and AMAZED at how absorbent the new paper towels were!
Title: Research Interviewer + Job: I play my GameBoy, pushing buttons on a computer that dials random numbers. The plus is because I'm the guy who changes the bottles on the water coolers when they get empty. Reality of it all: Worthless pain in the ass who bothers people while adamantly arguing that he isn't a telemarketer.
What's with all the radio people here? That's my field, too, although at the moment I have only a part-time gig, so I'm paying the bills by teaching SAT prep classes and the like. (That's actually part-time too...but I get a lot more hours and make considerably more per hour with the teaching at the moment.)
