Life is good.

I thought you were a college student!! Guess I was a bit off.

I'm a home engineer, chef, and taxi driver. I have 2 employees, and 3 assistants with 4 legs and a ton of fur (which the vacuum never seems to quite get up). My 2 employees are 5 yo and 2 yo. It's fairly easy to get around child labor laws, I guess.

In "normal" terms, I'm a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids, ages 5 and 2. I cook a lot and drive my kids around. I'm homeschooling my kids. I have a good husband and 3 dogs.

Prior to my current employment I worked as a project assistant for a clinical trials research organization.

I'm a student. Getting my PhD in the School of Information Management (my research is on internet security behaviours, so the people aspect of things rather than solely technology). I'm also currently a research assistant and next year I'll be doing some teaching.

I'm a software developer at an engineering firm doing government contract work. That probably explains a bit about my posting style...

Haha! I speak the same language as you. I have a Master's Degree in Architcture, but software developement is what brings home the money.

I tried that back in the day, but it got in the way of my partying.

My parents had "my" life all figured out for me. They wanted me to take general business, political science, and then off to law school.

I may have been more wealthy, but I doubt I could be happier with the way things turned out.

I am a crane surveyor. I do safety inspections and certifications on construction cranes including high rise tower cranes. You could say like the elevator mechanics, my job has it's ups and downs.

mmm, think I will throw in my 2p. I am a glorified keyboard monkey... which translates as a Commissioning Engineer for Instumentation & Control Systems in Power Stations.

Luckily I enjoyed maths, as my degree was full of the stuff
