    Dear Love Doctor,

    I'm full of too much love and am scared I might explode, I was hoping to spread the love everywhere but unfortunately my house is beseiged by giant Bees and concrete devouring wasps, I doubt I'll get out alive unless I can read the instructions ( in Icelandic unfortunately ) to Jules Verne's giant earth eating machine which will allow me to go to the center of the Earth to live with the Venusians, with granite eating stainless steel teeth coated in diamonds that I can ill afford that I'll end up having to mine myself which I'm happy to do except I can't get out of the house in the first place to parachute into South Africa because I'm being beseiged by giant Bees and.....

    Help me Love Doctor....you're my only hope?

    I work as a biological research scientist for a company that produces dressings to treat people with wounds that take ages to heal. It involves working in the lab, writing research articles (if I'm lucky), travelling to conferences (if I'm lucky!) & lecturing to nurses, physicians, etc

    Wow Alan, this sounds pretty serious. I love the "lecturing to nurses" part biggrin

    You're certainly in need of some doctor or another... biggrin

    Me, I'm vying for the exalted post of Global Dictator, waiting patiently to be supplicated by the masses towards my destiny. Though, in all honesty, it's rather quiet on the people's front (with the exception of a short communique out of Belgium, where apparently they're gagging for some proper leadership).

    In the meantime though I'm an IT professional... HOLD ON! Don't stop reading just yet! Yes, I know, would desperately that I had taken up treasure hunting, professional sky-diving/modelling/acting, well-paid mountaineering-cum-nuclear physics expert ... but unfortunately... it was not to be (lucky though,as I probably wouldn't be scribbling on soundtrack review forums then, but rather starring in a movie about a radiologist jumping out of an airplane to the top of Mount Everest to excavate Nazi gold!)... But I digress.

    I'm currently a contractor to Shell in the Netherlands, employed as project manager trying to make the IT infrastructure for businesses around the world better, which is a brilliant job (until they outsource the whole damn thing to whatever country is now offering sub-one-cent-per-day wages) as I'm talking to people all over the world! So no, I'm not a programmer-type spending most of my days in a daylight-forbidding room typing out code to go home and play World of Warcraft until 3 AM. Just to clear that up! :-)

    The fantastic thing is that I get to meet loads of people all over the globe, which is absolutely fascinating! It's that stimulating environment that got me to pick up my neglected studies again, and so now I'm finally writing my thesis (after a 15 year hiatus...).

    Though apparently Shell offers a lot of opportunity for traveling across the globe, for some mysterious reason Shell has only given me the opportunity to fly to Wythenshawe in the UK twice (which is about as exciting as Stoke-On-Trent on a particularly dreary Thursday evening).
    I *am* trying to concentrate on the infrastructure in South America, or the Pacific in a pinch, but I got stuck on Hamburg and Brussels again now... slant

    I teach humanist ethical and world view education in two primary schools. That takes me about 5 hours a week, if you count the hours I teach. That's also the hours I get paid by the way and it's freelance. If you add preparing lessons, feedback with collegues, travelling etc the whole job takes two and a half days a week. It's a great job, considering what it means what I'm actually doing. But the conditions are not so great and the future is very uncertain, so that's a shame really.
    smile

    I'm also a stand-by worker for Chocolate Girl, a company that rents chocolate fontains for parties etc. It's just for fun. I work about one day every two months, so that isn't making me rich either...! But it's a lot of fun.
    eat lick eat

    Once in a while I apply for a parttime job like working in a store on saturdays or something, but apparently I'm way too old for that or the fact that I have kids scares them off... they want young, cheap and independent people for jobs like that. Plus, I am always trying to avoid using day care for the kids. So, that doesn't leave too many opportunities of course. Except, yes, teaching in primary school. That's perfect if you have kids in school yourself!

    So, at the moment I'm wondering a bit where this is all going. I'd love to go back to school again. Yes, again. But it will be tough when there's an extra 24 hours a week studies plus the hours I need to work to pay for it. That will add up to fulltime and I was just enjoying the time with my children! It's not easy when you have kids and no education to find a nice job.
    dizzy

    Speaking of my teaching job, I was asked to give a workshop at a gathering of teachers next week, so I'm very proud to do that and I should really get back to work now to have it all finished in time!

    Brilliant!
    Let us know how that goes, Bregje!
    It's things like that -workshops and the like- that can really get a foot in the door towards doing what you so obviously love to do on a more structured and professionally constructive level: people knowing what you're doing and knowing your name is excellent networking!
    Who knows what might eventually come of it?

    Best of luck!!

    I have an M.A. in medieval archaeology and am currently doing my Ph.D. on material culture and cultural identity in Norse Greenland. Archaeology has taken me strange and interesting places. Excavations in Lofoten (north of Norway), Iceland and Greenland. Seminars in Poznan (Poland), Tartu (Estonia), Cork (Ireland) as well as a 3 month stay as a guest student in York.

    The damnedest thing about archaeology are all the nazis. They're everywhere I tell you. I'm sitting there with my trowel, trying to be a serious archaeologist, and all of a sudden you hear something like "Give me ze pottery, Herr Høegsberg", and then we all know the drill. Fistfights, carchases, swinging across bottomless pits and all that stuff. And all for a piece of pottery. Good thing I took the "Know your enemies"-course during my first year. It covers all the basics such as nazis, thuggees, ghost pirates, two-headed squirrels, concrete devouring wasps and such.
    Luminous beings are we.. Not this crude matter.

    After 15 years in the optical industry I chose to become a care worker for people with disabilities.
    Great job with wonderful people!
    Also on a part time basis I'm a video producer/director, video editor and cameraman.
    That's fun too!
  25. I'm a Bank Secrecy Act Analyst for a major US bank/mortgage company. It's kinda complicated, but basically it involves protecting the bank from financial crimes - investigating mortgage fraud, developing software routines to stop money laundering, combatting terrorist financing, writing reports, and so on. It's also cool because I get to work with FBI, the IRS, the DEA, and the financial crimes investigative units of the US government.

    Totally true. Sometimes your job sucks and you´d like to do something completely different, but at the end of the day it´s your job and you have to deal with it.

  29. I'm the owner of a small Graphic Design firm here in Canada... We do alot of website design and programming but we get to do the fun stuff too like Logo design, brochures, trade show displays, etc.

    So far we are in our second year of existence in which I have to wear many hats... Owner, Sales Rep, Designer, minor programmer... but hey it beats working for someone else! We just opened up our first office for an experiment to see if visibility will help our marketing.... (can't help other people with their marketing if we haven't tried marketing ourselves right?? smile )

    Anyway I don't post much mostly because I don't have the time but it nice to see a nice diverse group here.
