Hey, I've been wondering this for a while, sometimes people refer to thier jobs, but this can be a way to get a better idea of who we all are.  (Sorry for the off-topic post, but this is a community-building theme, and I can't ask it anywhere else  :)  ).

I have a summer job as a laborer for a custom home construction company.  I do odd jobs and lift heavy things and carry heavy things and set heavy things down.  

So, what's YOUR job?

These days just doing odd computer nerd, electrician, and handyman jobs and now working one day a week at the desk of a bed and breakfast inn. :lol:

One day I hope to answer that question as "amp & effect builder".

Take care,

Only reason i haven't taken my own store, is cause i want to go back to school...

i started college when i was 16... and had problems there with a teacher and the school i transfered from... my credits are FUBARed

I really want a rewarding, and challenging job... something that not only keeps my hands busy, but also keeps my mind busy. So many times at work i find myself just frustrated due to the lack of brain stimulation =/

I turn your paper boy into a rock star.

It's a fun career, though sometimes the lack of steady hours or steady work can be harmful to my health. I get to play with all the gadgets I build and I'm surrounded by interesting musicians all day. Not a bad deal.
