I am a drafter/designer currently working for a glass curtainwall manufacturer....Current job that I am working on is building that will now be the tallest in New York City aftre the WTC.....I have also worked for civil engineers, doing various things, and have also worked with granite as well. Lots of fun, but gets boring if you don't have a lot of variety.....Also sucks right now with the way the economy is, because I have had the joy of being laidoff twice this past year. Hopefully no more for a long time.

I am computer support for drug dealers

Ok, ok...so I provide computer support for a pharmacutical (sp?) company. Pretty boring job and mostly thankless but it pays the bills.
Have no idea what I want to do when I grow up though.

Well, I've been a stockbroker/financial consultant since Valentines Day of 1983. Oct. 19, 1987 was quite a day--500+ drop in the DOW. That was when the DOW was only 2-2500 points.

Before that, I was a sales rep. for IBM--selling office products--remember the first single-element electric typewriter--the IBM Selectric?--word processors, copiers, etc.

Im an Enviromental Superintendant/ Saftey Manager for a Fiber Optics Construction Company. Although Im not the best person for it Id prefer to whack the trees down, dig up the so called "Historic site" and keep on truckin. I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and am a Chef by nature. I teach low income single moms how to cook cheap nutritious meals and how to shop a little wiser so they dont buy junk at a local college.

I'm a civil engineer specializing in water resources. An accurate decription of my job is that I chase rain drops! I try to figure out how much its going to rain, how much water a storm sewer or culvert is going to need to pass, design the culverts and or storm sewers, figure out where and how big ponds need to be and design them, and at the same time, figure out how to keep the water clean to protect downstream lakes and rivers. Quite a few engineers around...

Multi-state Corporation Income Tax Auditor and I run the Corporation Voluntary Disclosure Program for the great state of California. I make sure California has the correct amount of money for all of the engineers to spend on their projects!
