What does everyone do for a living?

[Pengil]

I work part time as a "Circulation Aide" at one of the libraries a bit north of me. Basically, I shelve books, pull books for holds, shelve holds, and help patrons at the desk by answering their questions, helping them find things, and making library cards. From April to October, I work as the promotions assistant for Colorado National Speedway.

I have a degree in criminology/criminal justice, which I might try to do something with at some point. Sometimes I help a couple of my former professors with projects they're working on, which usually pays really well and tend to be very interesting (I spent great chunks of last summer in jails throughout the state, for example). The library has been fun, but they're only allowed to give me 20 hours a week, and I can only pick up shifts adding up to 28 hours a week, which is hard to live on. Additionally, a few of the people there are very, very politically vocal, so as time passes I feel like if they knew how I really was, and what some of my hobbies were, they would run me out with torches and pitchforks. I have a big trip in August, and after that point I'll probably try looking for something else.

The Speedway job, on the other hand, means so much to me that someone will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
