I work for the guv'mint as a computer analyst. Very boring but the pay is good.
I taught English at a university in Mexico for 3 years. That was a great job. Very fun... but the salary was poor, so now I am up north again, working for The Man. Oh well, at least now I can afford to have a decent motorcycle.

Wow, everyone here makes me want to go back to school and try to achieve more, big group of educated individuals. I originally enlisted in the ARMY for avionics communication straight out of high school but due to a screw up in training I was kicked out for "asthma" (they gave me a lung capacity test while I had bronchitis at Ft. Benning) about a month after wards I tried to get back in but couldn't pass the methalcholine challenge.
So I figured I'd go to school for Graphic Design at a local private university, which turned into a bust I just wasn't motivated at the time. After getting kicked out of my apartment and failing my classes I eventually moved down to SC where my parents had moved and decided to go back to school for Industrial Tech, and in 2006 I ended up earning my Associates with a decent 3.5 GPA. I started working for a local Plastics Injection Manufacturer as a Maint Tech after graduating, they produced parts for BMW and Mercedes, but due to the global economy I got laid off about a month ago. I have been thinking about going back to school eventually, maybe do something in Biomedical, problem is right now my GF is in school so it wouldn't be financially prudent right now with our current situation. Its not about the money for me, I just feel like I could do more with my life than where I'm at right now, hell as long as I can afford to ride and support a family eventually that's all that really matters I guess. |

I'm a product manager for VeriSign's Managed Security division... Spent about 7 years in IT security before I decided to go back to school and got by BS in Computer Science - and then got right back into IT security and I've been here ever since working my way up through the organization.
I'm working on my MBA on and off now too, but mostly spending as much time as I can with my 4 month old little girl. |

Hi Steve -
I'm at the RSA security conference all this week here in SF. Some pretty interesting stuff out there, that's for sure.

Yeah, there definitely is. We've got a few booths out there, but I didn't make it across the country to the show this year. It was a little disappointing because my brother lives in Daly City and I haven't seen him in a while, but if I went I'd end up having to work the booth... so I suppose it's a fair trade.

In another universe, I so would have been a radio astronomer. Actually, I'm saving an old DTV dish for later experimenting. LOL! Am I a geek if on my list of sights to see in the UK is the Lovell Telescope?
I work for a forensic counseling center, where we work with clients who have been placed on probation or parole. We do the usual anger management classes and so on. I'm the lab geek that runs the drug testing analyzer, and I wrote and maintain the database software that manages the client treatment files. The hours can be long, but maybe that means that Candy Thunder Blue Ninja will be in the garage soon! |

I'm a software developer at a medium-sized directories services (yellow pages etc.) company in Austria. I've been there for nearly 2 years now. Before that, I did a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in Scotland. The road to work is a very nice ride, but it's quite dangerous when it's wet, and over here one can only motorcycle for about 7 months of the year. I get jealous when I hear of you people from Texas or California talking about all the warm weather.
