I work in a travel agency (laid off to half-day work, unfortunately...) and I'm also a part-time journalist for a national newspaper, focusing on youth football.

Little to do with computers... ;)

Working at a treatment home for delinquent children (ages 12-16). Also studying (direct translation via google translate, don't know if it translates well) social work to be able to do a better job in the end.

Nothing below average about your trade or any of the other building trades, just remember without those in the building trade all those in all these folk in computer & IT related jobs would have no where to ply their trades from...

We'll need to hire or graphics/ design artist to come up with the ideas for the sign for you to print or I can knock one up in Dpaint...

PS:Glad I never built a Call Centre though, couldn't have lived with the thought that I'd been responsible for building the place that employs the most annoying people known to mankind...

Nice thread!

I work in a typical Greek SME in Import-Export of canned food items. As such, I do accountant, sales, after sales support and IT manager, lol.

I am also a teacher in public school for International Trade Theory.

Right now, I am seeking in switching career, I would like something more with marketing, dunno, but it looks like more "creative" to me.

I have attended several meetings of PMI. I find your field interesting. Can you describe me a typical day of your work? I am hearing that salaries of Project Managers (in general) are quite high, is that true?

Yes, it appears that many of us did not go far from our technology roots :p

I tried to get away by going into investment banking years ago, but came back.

I love physics.. NOVA PBS recently did a nice piece with the help of Brian Green. I wonder what Cern will discover with the LHC.

Very visible, but its good when hobbie and job are linked.

However, discovered that could speak with ZeroHero a lot beside "how and why get restricted" and such

In social work practice and social policies Sweden is one of the countries anyone
could desire (to live) and look up to

Interesting. Consider free hotel stayings as Amiga guy but some working too with some new ideas?
Too much experience.. New Nokia is hard to use, too many under 4e. shares.. Some investments could be considered like Trevor has done maybe but with a "little" different market. Please mail for ideas.

Suomeksi saa laittaa jos sijoituskohdetta tai vaikka töitä tiedossa. pr et telemail dot fi
Ala on vapaa ja ideoita joskus on, välillä ei;) Mitä haluais tehdä seuraavaksi, apuja vois olla johonkin?
Uutta Noksua vaikka pro pilkillä ja Rovion lintuja odotellessa;)

Yes, I think it's something we should be proud of. Too bad the economy of the world is what it is, there's just not enough to help all that needs it.

@Boot_WB

Funny... I sold my Amiga 3000 in 1996 to pay for a suit for a new job. I got back into the scene in 2005 when I thought Amiga inc was going to do something. I picked up and few machines and then built a comprehensive retro game and computer web site. It started off as being Amiga not, but then I added commodore and atari st as I wanted to learn more about them and then , and then and then more.

Recently, I have been adding videos for doing basic things on an Amiga 1000 and adding every Amiga peripheral to the site... Lots of work... I think I am back for good now :p

I liked Kirk... I just do... Janeway and Picard too often took their role too seriously I think.

To better understand what I mean, look at how Richard dean Anderson plays jack on Stargate. He plays the role a little think and has a sense of humour. I found star trek too often did not laugh at itself. Enterprise was great though.. A little more humour...

But the again, I might just have poor taste
