I'm a "Video Production Specialist" for the City of Independence, Missouri. To give you an example of what I do, I shot a lot of video and did most of the editing on a package that's informing the public of our upcoming city charter amendment election. It will change the process by which property maintenance code violation notifications are processed.
6 1/2 minutes of video of trash, weeds, and a guy getting his property cleaned up -- all with stirring ballot language at the end. Wow.
Our next project: Making a video for Power and Light notifying the public of how they get power restored when there's an outage.
I'm in my last year of a General Studies BA. I dabble in various things but I can't keep interested for long enough to get anything accomplished. In the past while, I've made a number of beats to be used on a hip-hop tape, created various 'soundscapes' with the idea of using them as little interludes, written a half-working bootsector for my PC, created a few UI mockups, designed a prototype alphabet, written some poems, worked through the logic of a ripple carry adder... none of it is really good enough for anything though. I don't have a job either.
My occupation is so unimpressive compared to those listed here, I think I will just back out of this thread before I get into what happens when you have no ability to afford college.....or much else, for that matter.
Political-military specialist, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy, New Delhi, India. At least as soon as my paperwork finishes processing in a couple of weeks. Prior to that I worked for eight years at a defense think tank in the D.C. area.

I work at a publicly-traded financial software company. Odds are if you do online banking, you most likely have seen my work.</strong><hr></blockquote>
WebCT is cool, i just wish my profs. knew how to use it. The one class we do use it in, it is never updated </strong><hr></blockquote>
Phew. That makes you one of the few that realize a bad WebCT course is the profs. fault and not the software. The number of postings I've seen on the net flaming WebCT because the course notes for a class weren't up to date is beyond comprehension.
I work in a radiation oncology department as a medical physicist ... in training. Most of all I try not to **** up and try to catch other peoples' **** ups.
I'm finishing my degree in Physics. I want to pursue graduate studies in particle physics, and then do research in national/international research centers or in the private sector. Going to CERN of Fermilab would be a dream come true! Anyway I'll probably end up doing part time research and part time teaching in a university. Which is not bad at all!

I have two degrees in "soft" sciences: Cultural Anthropology and Political Science. Now, however, I find myself making money working as a Windows Systems Administrator full time and Mac/PC consultant part time. Go figure.

We are done.
