Well that explains the amazing looking pdfs!

I hope I can look back in future and be stoked on my past jobs.. i dont really want to be an accountant forever..

Not to derail things, but if anyone here has ever thought about going into business for themselves, I can honestly say you will never look back after taking the plunge. As long as you are committed and keep yourself focused and in good spirits you will succeed!

Starting a business is the only thing i KNOW that i want to do in my career.. just not sure what in yet..

Also as for work, im a Sports Team Photographer and also work at the local Farmers Markets :)
Starting next year ill be a full time accountant at a big four firm.

My job title is a senior technical specialist. Gotta love big corps with their job titles. What I actually do is AIX system builds/upgrades/migrations/etc. Kinda specialised and limited when it comes to doing the same job elsewhere... I wouldn't mind getting out of IT and doing something else. But they pay me well and I've been here too long for that to be an option. Redundancy might be on the horizon though, so that might give me other options.

What I actually enjoy doing is playing with racing and sports cars. I would love to get paid for that!

I have worked for United Parcel Service for the last 28 years. Currently in the role of a Business Analyst. Not very exciting but it has provided for my family. I also have three boys and a wife that keep me quite busy. I play for the worship team at Southeast Christian Church here in Louisville as well as another group called 4th Watch.

I'm a worship pastor and session musician in central Florida.  I've also done audio recording/engineering/production, graphic design, photography, guitar repair, vocal/instrumental coaching, etc.  Now I can add pedal building to the list!

Golf Course Superintendent.  It's a little different than caddyshack...it is really  ;)

I sill want to picture it as like Caddyshack.  Without really knowing you it puts you in an interesting light.

I work in a library. I have since childhood always liked libraries, but I am not a librarian.

Libraries rule. My first job as a teenager was in the Bethesda Public Library.

Oh I agree.  Although I don't care to work for others, I feel very positive about the fact that libraries are great assets and resources for the communities that have them.  I have worked for the Carnegie Library system of Pittsburgh for the last 10 years.  I currently work for the library of the blind branch.  I personally make use of the libraries holdings for books, CDs and DVDs on a constant weekly basis.  I am real concerned of the trend to cut funding to libraries all the while cutting funding to education.

I went to a missions conference at Southeat a few years ago. That is a BIG church. Must be great to play on that worship team.

Started out in the record biz in the DC area, left after it became apparent that I wasn't phony enough.  I have been in IT (name it, I've done it) for the last 20 years.  Just got laid off and I don't want to go back.  I do an inordinate amount of volunteering with school and local theater, teach local kids guitar and am currently looking to get into teaching.  And I have made some actual working pedals!
