What do you do?

It's entirely possible this has been done before, but I couldn't find it, so... What do you do for a living? (or if you don't work on a regular basis, what do you do otherwise - school, retired, etc?) I thought it might be interesting to see how our fellow BigBlueBallers fill their days.

I'm a content coordinator (basically a project manager) on the team that controls the websites for a fairly large corporation in the transportation industry. I'm also the resident HTML guru/geek/jack of all trades, meaning I'm the guy that everyone goes to first before going to our interactive design agency, or tech support, etc.

How about you?

the thinking man's only relief is insanity... escape to insanity

I am a High School Student but I also work part time at a grocery store.

I perform several tasks at my work. My job title is Cashier-PT(Part Time), but I sometimes am just a grocery bagger, Cashier trainer, or bring unwanted groceries back to their shelves at times.

My intention, after High School and College, is to go into the Psychology or the Advertising/Marketing/Business fields. I am not 100% sure of exactly what I would like to do (in the future) yet.

...What do you do? (Let's keep this going!)

Need some site-related help? Please contact me or visit the FAQ page.

Full time, I'm an intermediate account management representative for the third largest bank in Canada. In short, I'm a bill collector for CIBC

But, on the side, I also run a small from-home business, called Pre-Paid Legal.

I work full-time as a medical assistant for general surgeons who perform different types of surgeries but specialize in the lap band surgery for weight loss. It is a very busy and hectic doctor's office but I like what I do.

I'm also going to school part time at night - planning to get a bachelors in science and become a registered nurse one day.

So I pretty much currently have a full schedule!

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

My Day Job
I am a product manager and business analyst working on a large-scale knowledge management system, used internally at an international engineering and construction company. I love my job, and there is a lot of synergy between what I do here and my other work. But this is what pays the bills.
My Other Job
I own and administer a number of websites, including BigBlueBall (you're soaking in it); MessengerMods; GetGamer; HisBuddyIcons; DriveFreeForLife; BigBlueTemplates and more. Everything I make here gets put right back into the sites (hosting, etc.).

You can follow along with my latest activities on my blog and on Twitter.

I have a few new sites in the works (stay tuned). And I occasionally do contract web development.
I keep busy.

I'm a third-year (out of my 5-year Computer Science degree) student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I've spent time during the last two years working full-time at several companies, including a multinational IT company, and one which makes microprocessors.

Eventually I hope to have my MBA and climb the ladder at a large Seattle-based software company.

Currently I am a high school student (In 10th Grade but with all 11th/12th Grade Classes) and I'm a freelance web/graphic designer, although I also am hired for other things related to that (such as photography). I work with either people who contact me through church or on the web.

In college I plan to go to MIT or University of Cincinnati to become a Neurologist as I eventually want some form of a research neurologist position in Boston or somewhere in California.
