    If "bwah" means you think those jobs aren't that unusual, I agree. I've known people paid to do far stranger things than that.



    Anyway, you're obviously not a linguist billybobsky.

    wow, a fairly ecclectic group of people on here.



    me ? ... Flying airplanes pays the rent and feeds the children...



    When not "up there" I'm either playing with the kids (playing LIKE a kid) or Diving....

    damn right i am not a linguist. language and i are like fitful lovers. i can take only so much of her and then she has got to go out back and sleep with the dogs.



    bwah was actually more in response to the whole dressing up like a syringe. it sounds like a bad idea and the set up of a wonderful sketch comedy routine.



    and to note -- i am just a lowly grad student inventively applying synthetic chemistry every day.

    BTW, I teach. But I have been, prior to finding gainful employment, a professional musician.

    As long as you pay your subs you can live on a submarine north of the Arctic Circle and be any kind of member you like.

    Primarily I am a bum with a backpack with just enough money to spend years traveling around the world. To get that money I sometimes use my zoology degree to get jobs working for the National Marine Fisheries Service collecting fisheries data on the deep blue sea. Pays well (for a biology job) cuz its dangerous out there and good for saving money for travel since can't spend much while stuck on a boat for months. When I want to be a ski bum I work at hotels owned by friends at a resort near Seattle. Other times I remodel houses. Also make web sites for friends businesses. Other jobs in the past as pizza delivery guy, apartment manager, English teacher in Japan, and as a fisherman in Alaska (paid for all that education and first 3 years of travel). Presently remodeling my sister's house in New Mexico. An ad agency wants to buy some of my photographs so I guess I will be able to add professional photographer soon

    Am I the only one here who is a rocket scientist?

    Or, to put it another way, a missile engineer?



    In my spare time, I am a cunning linguist.

    Jesus, Scott. I'm JOKING. Of COURSE I know you didn't make up "radiation oncology," for God's sake.



    Is there an emoticon for giving someone a sense of humor? Jeez.
