What's your job?

[Iroscato]

Currently unemployed, but I'm a web developer by trade. Right now I'm looking at a few different options to continue in the industry, among them being freelance work.

[Astreja]

Luthier.  I'm self-employed, so I don't talk much about anything, let alone atheism, during work.  When I do talk, it's usually limited to comments like, 'Where the fuck did I put that gouge?'

Boru

Guitars, violins, obscure string instruments like lutes and dulcimers, or all of the above?

That's horrible : just want to grow things and tend to animals. I'm sure when I am older I can have just enough to produce food for our family so maybe it won't break the bank. The father in law was an officer in the army so they have good money to get summin small started. Right now the well is being the biggest issue. I already get up at 5am so I know I can do the dawn to dusk work frame and I love getting my hands dirty and working hard makes me feel accomplished. I work inside at a desk right now and I know it is sucking the life from me.

You should do it Mooney.  You actually don't need alot of money, or alot of space. You don't need experience (and frankly, the best experience for a small farmer is marketing experience, not a farming background - that's where experienced producers fail most often). Hit me up in pms if you want a massive pile of resources for getting started.

I will here in the next year when we move to a real house! I appreciate the offer and I will definitely take you up on it!

I'm the Senior Software Engineer for a privately held financial services company that you've never heard of.

Oh-HO, programming for the Illuminati, are you?!

You've heard of the Illuminati, so no, that's not it.

[Aegon]

Full time undergrad. I work at a state park in the summers. Hypothetically I could decide to work there full time, it is a state government job. But I pray I don't have to. I have my sights set on Washington DC post-graduation

[The Grand Nudger]

What're you gonna do in DC?

[Joods]

What're you gonna do in DC?

Prolly something political since that's all there is to do there.

On the flip side, aeg, you'd actually be close enough to me so we can visit.

[Aegon]

What're you gonna do in DC?

I'm not sure yet. I'm getting set up with an internship program next Fall semester. I think I'd like to go for certain offices within the State Department that deal with international human rights, or other human rights watchdogs based in DC like Freedom House. Life on Capitol Hill sounds crazy but fun, so I'm also considering that. But when you have a bachelor's in Political Science there's only one city to go to IMO

I work as a cargo ship agent (mostly bulk cargo but also the occasional tanker) for vessels calling the lower Mississippi River.

Prior to this, I had a diverse and sometimes colorful work history. I'll just leave it at that, since I've gone over it here several times in the past.
