    Very interesting to see all the diversity with the real life jobs/careers. I'm the Vice President of a tech company (ISP/ITSP) here in Cleveland. I'm also an aspiring author. For all the people in the military, I'm a former Navy CT (crypto tech)

    Re: What does every one do for a living?

    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 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.
