    I'm a writer. I mostly do web content. Promotional stuff, ghostwriting for blogs, SEO that you don't notice is SEO, that sort of thing. All those little blurbs and articles that you see on commercial web sites -- the owner of the site usually doesn't write them, even if their name is on it. They pay a freelancer.

    (Of course, when I *started* being a MI fan, I was a professional fourth grader...)

    When I'm not selling fruits and vegetables, I stay home and waste my life away via surfing thr Internetz, doodling on sketchbooks and reading light sci-fi literature.

    IT-Supporter, I fix hardware and software related computer problems.
    Do phone support for users, and maintain servers and such.

    That is when I am not in school and learning more computer related stuff.

    Due to my life-long cardiac defect, I never got a chance at working. Hopefully, I will someday, as I just had a heart transplant. So I'm currently on welfare, thankfully in a very rich country that can afford it. My income is steady enough to not warrant piracy (in any form other than innocent entertainment, like Monkey Island).

    I used to be in film, but they told me there weren't any jobs and so I went into graphic design. I'm still going to do film as a hobby in my free time.

    I'm at University studying History and Politics, and want to become a Doctor of History. Afterwards I'd like to lecture for a while then go into politics.

    Currently I work between three Coles stores in Australia, a major fascist supermarket chain.

    Ah, yes! One of our country's best films so far! If I might suggest some stuff, check out the Damian Szifron movies ("Tiempo de Valientes" specially) and for some old school argentinian movies, check out Manuel Antín ("El Santo de la Espada" is a highlight in my opinion, but it's a weird movie, not very traditional).

    And Spain has some excellent films too! And also they really support the arts there. That's why I'm planning to go there to work once I'm finished studying here.

    PS: It feels weird talking with a language-fellow in English :p

    I work at a "food store" (read: gas station). I'm a few years late to the job scene, but gettin' my foot in there (if for nothing else, then paychecks and my resume).

    Work, um, well I started as a Chemistry major in college (took organic chemistry, biochemistry, etc) during my pre-dent years. Then I got bored with that, switched and got a BA in Anthropology and Music, and now I'm an opera singer, recently turned actress.

    As you can imagine my parents are tickled pink I'm not a dentist. :p (sarcasm, in case anyone missed that, they really wanted me to be a dentist)

    Not sure if I'm reading that right... but thanks?

    Seriously though, my life is kind of upside down right now, with absolutely no stability of any kind. I need a good rock to hold onto.

    You're not reading it right, try to read it standing up right, and not while doing a head stand...

    Yes, sounds exciting, very lively.
