So...

What do all you guys and gals on here do for a living???

I worked in a leisure centre for about 10 years. Back in school now.

I work in human rights, specifically related to privacy as a human right.

I'm a vaguely-underachieving student.

I'll bite, I have the different job amongst us anyway. Not sure if weird is the right word, but not like most.

Currently, I'm a theatre director in the Off-Off Broadway community of New York City. Nothing major, just houses that seat less than 100 people.

Just proving that I'm never going to be a professional anything-to-do-with-computers - I knew it would get screwed up in everyone's browser except mine.

To me it now looks like I'm also going to be a professional Matt Morrison, though I'd previously been unaware that that was a career prospect. Quite excited.

Ha, I was just being annoying to be honest - the arrow did indeed point to your avatar.
Funnily enough in your latest post it now finally points to "Devotee"... and I guess once I post this you're going to be a Postsman. (edit: half way between a Postsman and a joiner.)

Uni student, but as of next June hopefully an Occupational Therapist.

She'd take some company from you any time, Jono

I am a social worker.

But the job i really want to do is to work for the British Board of Film Classification, watching movies and deciding if their a U, PG, 12A etc.

I give opinions about basketball, publically via articles for web media companies, and privately via consulting contracts with agencies. And I teach young kids science. The two spheres are not in any way related.

Just realised I never responded to this. It's for a small 'niche' motor insurance company (that's how my recruitment agency sold it to me anyway) called Service Underwriting. Basically I just enter data about cars and motor insurance policy-holders all day. Fascinating stuff. The people I work with have grown on me though and I'm the agency's inaugural 'temp of the week' so it seems I'm good at entering data about cars and motor insurance policy-holders all day

Probably won't be there much longer though as they're no longer going to be dual-processing stuff in the near future. (Not that I'm there this week anyway as I'm on work experience for my local paper.)
