    I work in a guardhouse as a Loss Prevention associate. I am a little less than a year from earning my Bachelor's degree in computer programming, so hope to transfer to the IT department then.

    I'm an electronics technician in the Navy. Not a bad job but I'm looking to finish up my degree so I can try to line up a decent job and get out. It's a pain trying to breed BP's on a sea duty schedule.

    I work for a contractor in chemical plants. I started out sandblasting and painting, now moved into fireproofing, but most of my days are spent watching other people work now that I've made it into supervision.

    I am a 911 dispatcher for my local police, fire and EMS. I am a municipal employee. I handle all the emergency 911 calls, business line calls for the town, 911 calls transferred from State Police, dispatch police, fire, and EMS apparatus, and our center is also Bristol County Control. For Bristol County Control we pretty much take over large incidents such as large fires, explosions, HAZMAT, MA Decon, State searches, and Emergency Management incidents. The towns call me, and I dispatch out other towns to their scene. It gets pretty hectic, especially when we handle our calls along with anything big in Bristol County, but I love my job and I'm really lucky I have it.

    The job market is brutal right now...even with 20+ years of military experience and a high level clearance...ur off to a good start getting your degree though...friendly advise...start networking now, finish your degree, if you have a clearance make sure it's updated, attend a TAPs class (Transition Assistance Program) or the Navy's equivalent...and network more, more, more...good luck...:gj:

    Veterinary technician - well technically veterinary assistant since I'm not certified yet. Working on it tho & hopefully be finished one day. Wish they didn't change the rules that you can only take the test if you graduated from accredited vet tech school. After 25 years in the field, people should be able to sit for the test!

    Marketing Degree. Now outside sales for RJ Reynolds Tobbacco. (I know.. big tobbacco, please don't hate me.)

    With the job market the way it is, being a recent grad it was one of the only companies (200+ resumes later) that didn't care about experience. Figure do it for a year or 2, get my experience on the resume and bounce! To do/sell something that I am actually passionate about. I don't even smoke!

    I'm a hacker. :) Except professionally we refer to it as Computer Security Researcher. I do research on novel ways to break into computer systems (currently my main focus is in the area of smart phones). I speak at conferences around the world presenting this research (BlackHat, DefCon, etc to name a couple); new attack techniques, flaws in systems, etc. The other part of my job is developing analysis tools for making my job easier, as well as working on a scanning engine to detect software with malicious intents on Android/iPhone, etc.

    Graduated in Dec with a BFA in Studio Glass- meaning I learned Advanced Glassblowing and Kiln glass. Basically I got to play with molten glass and chemicals in 2300 degree flames to make killer art with it.
    Naturally, that degree means nothing with this economy. However, working in universities for 4 years does ;)

    Currently Jobhunting and had a great interview yesterday praying I get the job :please::please::please::please::please: I'll know in 2 weeks!

    Also working on 2D Art right now and selling prints while I'm a live-in-maid for my semi-retired parents. My avatar pic is my most recent piece. :D
