Occupations

[David]

What does everyone do for a living? I know we have a few doctors floating around here. Even homemaker is a job! One of the most important, IMHO.


I'm a radio DJ by night, work at a bank by day, teach Sunday School on, ... sundays.. and go to school.

And my hobby is working at GW!

[Newbie]

well im 16, still at school....trying to find at lest a minimum wage job atm, no clues for the future

[Skydiver]

my job title is Media Production Technician....which is a fancy way of saying i'm the AV nerd for the kansas dept of transportation.

we do equipment support (setting up projectors, running audio systems, occasionally shooting video)

in the past i've worked at 2 tv stations, running camera or masteer control or working in the sales dept and even did a stint at a grocery store and the old stand by of McDonald's

[TameFarrar]

Well, since you put this up right after I bared my soul in "I caved" I will just keep on...keepin' on..
I am a Medical Certified Procedural Coder. Or a C.P.C.
eeewww Don't I sound really smart :D

I always wanted to be a radio DJ

[ShadowMaat]

I get tired just reading about your life, David. ;)

My current occupation is unglamorous, but very convenient and probably the best one I've ever had. I work in a local version of Mailboxes, Etc. But... my boss is way cool and just as evil as I am, I'm allowed to read and/or write when it isn't busy (which I wasn't allowed to do at my last job, at a bookstore!!), and I have net access all day if I don't have a book or story (or customers) to keep me busy. :)

Ultimately, I'd like a job as a writer, preferrably for TV, but maybe books if I can ever finish writing anything longer than six pages. Of course, I'd probably still need a "real" job. At least until everyone realizes how brilliant I am. http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/ups/icis/ices_angel_g.gif

[Geekyred]

but Tame what the heck does a C.P.C do?

And yes you sound way smart. :D

[ShadowMaat]

but Tame what the heck does a C.P.C do?

They're the ones who say, "Code Blue in the ER... Code Blue in the ER..." in that nice, calm, "there's no need to panic" voice, right? ;) J/K Couldn't resist...

[spg_1983]

well im finishing up my associates degree (I graduate next week) but as far as proffesion goes, im an aspiring photographer/photojournalist. right now im really doing the struggling artist thing more than actually making a living off of it. :D

[Shipperahoy]

Well I got my bachelors in primary education and then got my teaching credentials but then was promptly laid off because the education system here is completely atrocious. So I decided to take some time off and take care of my son but I recently got my state certified medical assistant license and next year I will be an RN.

[TameFarrar]

but Tame what the heck does a C.P.C do?

And yes you sound way smart. :D
I train Drs on documentation guidelines and their billers on how to bill it using codes devoloped by the AMA, Fed Gov and World Health Organization. I assist the insurance companies in utilizing same codes to build Insurance benefits to pay for the health services health care renders. Then I go back and audit all of them :: insert evil laugh in here::: Basically I run around alot telling people what to do :D

Do I get George Clooney in the end????

[ShadowMaat]

Do I get George Clooney in the end????

If you want him, he's yours. Can't stand the guy. :P

[Alexeil]

Shouldn't this go in the off topic area as it has nothing to do with Stargate?

Regardless, I'm currently a college student, studying to hopefully one day be an art teacher. :cool:

[TameFarrar]

If you want him, he's yours. Can't stand the guy.
I'll take him...got a thing for guys with silver hair...........:D
And he reminds me of RDA who BTW plays Jack in Stargate Sg-1
Which is what this forum is ALL about... :D I brought it all the way around to topic and general discussion...::pats self on back:::

[ShadowMaat]

Shouldn't this go in the off topic area as it has nothing to do with Stargate?

Stargate-wise... :P I'd like to get a job as one of the researchers. Just sit around and study and read and plot all day long. Get to deal with absent-minded archaeologists and really... inquisitive aliens thirsting to know more about Earth... :D

[cathy]

I finished my Associates Degree this week and I graduate next week. I will be working at the college for the Summer as a Computer Aid in the computer lab. My degree is in Advertising and Computer technology and Public Relations. I am hoping to find a job in Advertising.

Cathy

[Hatusu]

I'm not a government official, but I played one on TV.:p

Seriously, I'm a writer. I write grant proposals. It's not glamorous, but I get paid for it. Basically, it's legal writing with heart.

[Madeleine]

I'm an ex- primary school teacher (waves at Shipperahoy) and I now work for a bank. I won't say which one cos if I do all the UKers will bombard me with complaints about our terribly annoying ads. (That narrows it down to.. five or six then.)

I go to work two days a week, and I'm a sort of all-purpose troubleshooter for branch & call centre staff who get stuck or who have a customer complaint they can't cope with. I like it, and it's a nice rest from my real job, which is looking after two small sons.

[Sparki101]

Stargate-wise... :P Get to deal with absent-minded archaeologists . :D

Hey!
I am not as think as you confused I am! ;)

my degree takes up most of my time. I have a part time job as a librarian.

[Supreme Commander Thor]

I have two jobs. Here are the titles:

1. Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet
2. Lead Web Application Developer

Both have there perks as well as downfalls.

Thor

[kree]

I'm 25 and I have a BA in Art History. Rather than be on the street with the rest of starving artists, I got a job with tech support at Dell Inc.

[Wass]

That would explain why you spend more time and post more messages on gateworld forum then any one else. Your poor boss I feel for him I truly do. :D......... (:P)

[Wass]

Well I’m student studying for a degree in I.T; full title of the degree is BSc (Hons) Computing (System Analysis & Design). Just got another 3 weeks to go before I finish my final year at university I graduate in July (27).

[Bektrek]

I'm a poor college student studying English Language, Psychology, History and Politics<---don't ask why I don't know myself...

[ShadowMaat]

That would explain why you spend more time and post more messages on gateworld forum then any one else. Your poor boss I feel for him I truly do.

I have a lower post count than TF. And the Mods have really racked up their numbers, but they had a head start. ;) I'd been hoping to unlock the goa'uld avs, but now that I know they're way far away (and David's still being a meanie) I may just give up.

Another benefit of working research in SGC: all the fun of offworld exploration without the potential for death, capture, freaky diseases, getting lost, etc. ;)

[Anakin]

Ahem... That would be err...
[Commercial secretary]-[webmaster]-[person in charge of the computers(hardware/software)]-[project manager] during most of my working days, AND writer 'at night' ;) :D

[KatG]

.I'm a radio DJ by night!

What radio station do you work at? Next time I'm up in the Chicago area, I'll listen out for you.

Oh and to stay on topic, I work from home, managing the office for my husband's business. It has many perks, one of which is that when the family decides to take a vacation, the boss is very agreeable. :p

[OzGirl]

What does everyone do for a living?

I'm a software systems designer and manager of product engineering
at a medical monitoring company. (Those hospital monitors, like the ones
they hook up to SG-1 whenever they're in the infirmary -- I program
those.) Bachelor's degree in Math & Physics minor.

My current hobby is Stargate SG-1, especially Jack O'Neill.
He's some hobby. Oooooooh baby!

[star1928]

Currently, I am a student, but I did have a job as....drumroll please....a janitor :eek: . I hated it. I no longer work there, but I am looking for a part-time summer job, hopefully at a horse farm near home.

[Teal'c]

I've got 4 more weeks of school then off to Uni to study Computer Science :D

[bcmilco]

I've been a college student for the last couple of years, but currently I'm looking for a job to pay for being a student for the next couple or three years.

I'd like to be a computer Sys Admin when I grow up :D or maybe a network architect.

[Shipperahoy]

I just talk alot.....a delusion I have that someone out there besides me cares what I have to say...or I just like seeing the picture in my signature... haven't decided which... the UNLOCK is WAY far away..NNNOOOOOO. well thats that then :eek:

There are people here...cough...TF....cough who have a higher post count than I do and I was playing on the forum for about a week or more before it was made public. But it kind of makes me feel better because for a while it felt like I was here almost 24 hours a day and I started to worry that I didn't have a life. But once I get my RN I won't be here much at all. Sniff sniff.

[Major Clanger]

ack, post counts... how do you think we got to be mods in the first place?

As for w**k... I prefer not to talk about it.

I do as little as possible, as often as I can

Please. Don't let Clanger fool you. She's a working machine. :p

Resistance if Futile. :D

[JSDT]

I'm going back to school after spending 10 years working in a computer manufacturing plant. I'm majoring in elementary education with a minor in psychology. Basically, when I become a teacher I want to be able to mess with the little kiddies' heads. :D

So pity me :eek: just think there but by the grace of god...........

[angsty_otaku]

full time high school student! (almost done with junior year..>.<)

[oldcelt1]

[OzGirl]

And don't forget. maestro....composer of Stargate SG1 musical comedies. :p We've got to do some more!

[stargate barbie]

i'm a professional bum.
actually the technical term is "usher".
my goal in life is to be a filmmaker.
my hobbies are, trying to get into a course (or some courses) which will lead to my goals, with too few leaving cert points to do it. oh fun! that and watching lots and lots of tv and dvds, and listening to music and many other boring things.

[Spaceminx]

I'm a primary teacher, but wish I wasn't! Totally disillusioned by the education system in this country.

I don't have to check your profile to guess that you're British... ;)

I'm just a humble admin assistant for a building contractor (not sure if building is the right word. Engineering maybe?). Basically we fill the holes in that have been left by the gas transportation company when they've dug to repair leaks. Fascinating huh?

And occasionally I work as a lighting technician - mostly operating a follow spot for a dance show every year.

What I'd really like to do is work in TV, preferably as a camera operator but all round dogsbody and coffee maker will do. :p

[Emmit Devay]

Well, currently my status is that of a temp. Working for a temp agency is so not fun. Avoid it at all costs. That said, I may be joining the ranks of the professionally lazy, er.....I mean government employee. The scary part is that if I get the job, I'll have a badge and a gun.

[C4ISR]

I am currently completing training to be a strategic analyst in the field of critical infrastructure protection.

Failing that, I plan on returning to my old job of hiding from reality in academia.

I'm currently in school, however I do work part-time as a lifeguard at the local YMCA.

I still laugh when I remember them! Your lyrics for "The Sound of Music" were hysterical. :D That's why you're the musical maestro!

[sphinx]

I'm an RN. I work for a homecare agency training the nurses who work in the field how to use their new charting software. Many of them have never used a computer before (imagine!) let alone a nifty tablet like we use......the agency's been on paper, so it's quite a transition! (Challenging, LOL)!

I'm looking to become more involved in Nursing Informatics.

Yes, a couple of stinkin' songs, and she never worked again!

Oh well, if anything strikes my fancy, I'll write it down.

But thank you!

I am a homemaker - my daughter is 7 and my son is 4. I'm also a homeschool mom. Put those two jobs together and I work 24-7! I'm not complaining, mind you, the rewards are fantastic. I even get a little time off here and there to practice my fiddle . . . :D

[Iskandra]

I have a masters degree in linguistics (specialised in historical and English linguistics), Egyptology and English lit, I'm teaching linguistics at the English department of my university in Germany, and I'm writing my PhD thesis on the language of Egyptology...I also worked as a librarian as an undergrad.

[AbydosTraveller]

I'm 14 and thus a student, but I am considering going to college for astrophysics. (Inpsipred by a certain show... :D ) I find wormholes, black holes and the like extremely fascinating. I also like what I understand of Schroedinger and Quantum physics... so my father says I should jump on a career with astophysics.

But I do volunteer at the local library. :rolleyes:

Ultimately, I want to work in a museum, but this stupid economy is making that hard (grrrr!). I'm about to start volunteering at the local Natural History museum to get some networking done.

[Jafana]

I am currently doing my honours year at the University of Western Australia. I did a triple major Bachelor of Arts, in History, English and Politics.
Mainly medieval history, medieval french and english lit. and international and philosophical politics.

I'm applying for a scholarship to do my phd in English, but if I don't get that I'm also applying for the Australian Federal Police - yay international intellegence stuff.

I also babysit a lot and run a creche in an attempt to stay at least on the poverty line :rolleyes: and occasionally to eat.
