Sitting out here on my deck dreading going back to work tommorow, I was just wondering, what do other FF/Serenity fans do for a living? Me, I'm a PC Tech. How bout you?

Living? What is this of which you speak?
*best Maynard voice* Work?
We have no lives outside of FFF...just ask our significant others.
I am weird.
Currently in retail...formerly a small software company...a long list of random jobs before that.

I unload a delivery truck a couple days a week to pay my rent, and then slack off while making a bit of money on the side putting my computer science degree to use.

I'm a teacher. Seventh grade, Language Arts. The weekend was a nice break and a cruel tease at the same time. So much to do!!! Friday's the last day of school with kids, and then all next week is training in the language arts book I've been using all year. I look forward to long days on the computer, reading those 30 chapter fanfics all the way through.

I'm a critical care nurse - that means I work in an ICU (usually medical or cardiac) trying to convince patients that they really don't wanna die on my shift. 
I have converted several of my coworkers, too. I think the dark humor in FF really appeals to ICU nurses.

I'm in Purchasing/Inventory Control for an RV company. I keep the parts set up in the computer correctly, audit on-hand inventory, etc. Not as boring as it sounds, really! But I may have to polish up the old resume' - gas prices are forcing more than a little slowdown across the industry.... Anyone looking for someone with 5+ years of JDE experience?

I'm an air traffic controller. I sit in a tower all day trying -- to paraphrase whedonesque -- to convince pilots that they really don't wanna die on my shift. If only my customers and I shared that core value...
I've converted 3 of my 4 coworkers. Number 4's the boss, and I don't envision him sitting in the break room watching eps with the guys. But, I'm formulating a plan...
Vocationally,

Graduate student in astrophysics here. I sit around trying to convince others that the sky really is falling while I try to convince myself that I know physics and that this is the way to go to avoid getting a real job. ;)
Seriously though, I study galactic chemical evolution, which basically tries to reproduce the Milky Way galaxy we observe today through various theoretical formation models, as well as neutron capture nucleosynthesis, which essentially explains how elements heavier than iron are formed in stars and supernovae.
Yeah, I know, what I do is pretty damn boring. Mentioning it is one helluva conversation killer. Just listen to the crickets chirping now! hehe
OK, I'll be quiet now. ;)

Actually, I think your job sounds pretty fascinating (if mostly dry; try moistening it with some ethanol). You also wrote:

Just tell 'em, "God did it!" That ought to make you popular...
