Since we seem to be digging up more and more personal information about each other in all of these threads… I figured I’d ask. What does everyone do as a profession? I’m still a student, but I’ve got a little summer internship at a lab, and do some web development on the side. 🙂 You next! ---

I used to be a programmer mostly dealing with VB and ASP/SQL on the interactive side but got tired of it, moved to USA and for the last couple of years been freelancing. Mostly AS/PHP/SQL although I’ve done some linux and apache works. So far I’m earning a sweet wage so I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon 😛 ---

I’m part of a top secret US anti-terrorism operation. We hunt dangerous terrorists throughout the world, routing them before they can do real harm to innocent civilians. It’s a dangerous, but very rewarding profession… Heh, not. I’m still a student here, obviously I run Thinkpoint in my free time. And this summer, I’m working at [ICO Global Communications](http://www.ico.com) again…I learned a ton and had an enormous amount of fun last year. I even got paid for it, my expectations are even higher this year. ---

I wish your border control oiks had been more tolerant when I visited. I was sorely tempted to point out the wording in my passport from their same Queen: “Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires you to allow the bearer to pass freely and without hindrance” ---

I’m a video store clerk part time, it satisfies all of my needs (good movies for a cheap price). Full time I work as a “Customer Service” technician for Cox communications (although they outsource to a different company). I get those calls where people ask stuff like “what is a rooter (when they mean to say router).” [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/what-do-you-do-for-a-living/264069.md?page=2)
