Just curious! Want to get to know some members of the community, and I always find myself asking people this question.

I guess something just intrigues me about hearing from people in different walks of life.


I myself am a sophomore at Bentley University near Boston. I founded, own and operate my own paintball business selling almost strictly used equipment. The company (Armorypaintball.com) is on its 4th full fiscal year right now and is the second largest retailer of used paintball guns, the first largest for used parts... both of those worldwide :). I'd love to do more, but hey I'm still in college!

Your turn,

GO! :D

College student for Clinical Psychology and a couple other degrees as I feel like it.
I do a lot of side jobs for the old people in my apartment complex, something like a handyman or go-to-man for anything they wish. Sometimes I help out a guy with mechanic work, mostly specialty stuff like transmissions or carb rebuilds. And during the holiday season I build bikes for bicycle shops if they need more help.

Family retail store. Understaffed. It sucks but I guess it beats cleaning out the sewer...though sewer cleaners gets paid a lot more than I do.

Spent the last 18 years banging heads and shouting "Clean up your damn rooms!"

Now I'm unemployed (let their dormmates yell at them), but I'm a writer. Who's not making a living. Yet. :D

I used to be involved in documentation as first a desktop publisher and the. A technical writer but when the economy went south I was unemployed for so long company's started looking at my skills as outdated.

So now I'm a secretary.

I'm a retired college prof; therefore, I was.

I now edit; therefore, I am again.
