    I work in quality control for an aerospace company. If you've flown recently and didn't crash you can thank me! Just kidding.

    I also work part time organizing and promoting exotic car shows

    Student and working as a cashier. It's a bit rough sometimes, but otherwise I make enough pay for my car and etc. I'm hoping to transfer to a university in two years and become a forensic scientist (still have no clue what I want to specialize in).

    I'm currently going to University, taking Theatre Production. Which is a lot of backstage stuff like lights, audio, props, set, etc.
    Once I'm finished school, I hope to work on a cruise ship for a few years, apply to IASTE (the theatre union), and see where it takes me.

    A guy who works in the industry told my class that, "if you're on your 2nd divorce you're doing good in this industry." :grin:

    Arts <3 They always think arts are for talented people only, but they are wrong. Some artists arent born with artistic talents, they worked hard to learn it :slight_smile:

    Right now, Im a graphic artist in a gaming company. Our bosses there are Japanese so we have a hard time to communicate well, sometimes even having misunderstanding. But despite that, I am learning a lot while working in there. Might resign soon to find better paying job tho.

    Right now I'm an unemployed college graduate (I know, shocking right? lol) but I've been pursuing and hoping I'm able to eventually land a position in the education field.

    I'm not working in the field at the time, but I'm a certified LEO and trying to get back into it. Glad to see a brother in blue (green?) on here. :slight_smile:

    I selected Other, because my job doesn't fit in one of those categories. I work for a non-profit organization telling my story of life with mental illness to various types of audiences. My favorite was at a college. They liked me so much they gave a donation to the non-profit.
