I too, as with many of the rabble, have found myself variously employed. However, currently I find myself freshly degreed (Aug. 08) with a BA in Music, and working full time in a molecular biology lab that specializes in mycological phylogenetics. (geek speak for we look at dna in a certain species of mushrooms to determine family relationships and evolutional development.) So, I beat up mushrooms and take their dna all day. I can't go kilted (safety regs) but I get to go to the mountains on a semi regular basis and hike around and get paid to do it.

Oh, and I teach private lessons to kids that want to learn the high brasses, ie. trumpet and french horn, and play the occasional wedding and gig.

I work as an ElectroMechanical Assembly Tech for a division of Knorr-Bremse. I assemble doors and door operators for Light rail and rapid transit cars. I get to stand next to a workbench all day and do the same operation over and over, day in and day out. But the health plan is the best I have ever seen and we get free doughnuts on the first friday of the month. IFE Austria is the subsidary. In the US it is IFE North America. Pronounced EEEFA, not Iffy. If you use rapid transit or Rail services in the Us and Canada, you are riding on our parts.

I am a career police officer for the past 30 years, mostly civilian. Seven years active duty military police. Two years ago I was the Chief of Police of a small town in central Iowa, until my new mayor and a few newly elected council folk told me that I needed to treat locals differently than others...told them I took an oath to uphold the law impartially. A month later I was looking for a job. Landed on my feet as the School Resource Officer for a nearby small town a last summer. Right after Christmas break I was told that budget cuts would eliminate that job. So, 1 July I'm out of work again! I make some side money drawing commissioned photo realistic portraits. Sure I'll find something...only three years away from being eligible for retirement.

[that kilt guy]

I'm beginning a long journey to become a great cook. I just started culinary school at a small technical school in my home town to get the basics done for cheap and after that I plan to move up north and polish off my skills at a nicer school. Possibly the Art Institute in Denver but nothings set in stone yet.

Oh I almost forgot to mention the whole job part. I work at a small but growing family owned grill. Its very good if i do say so myself. Its called Skeet's Texas Grill.

[Sigismond]

I am a french police Lieutenant near from Paris.
