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... ;)

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?_________________

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

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._________________ Common sense - So rare it's almost like a super power |

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 _________________
