I have a degree in Agronomy (farming), and when I can find it work as an agriculture inspector (look for bad bugs, sick plants, count bugs, look for weeds). I live in South Dakota, so I don't work so much in the winter time. Hoping that will change soon, tho.

Guess I'd be happy on the outer planets..doncha think??

You may want to start a fresh thread for this, by the by.

I am a student in the initial stages of a PhD in biblical studies and book history.

I gave up real work (adult ed trainer & administrator) because I don't get on with bosses very well. Like a true browncoat i have authority issues.

If I ever get over that problem I would quite like to work in a ...library! A posh one though, archiving very old books. I want to be Giles!!! *sobs in corner at realisation that Giles isn't real*

He! Believe it or not, I work in robotics, meaning I get paid to work with expensive toys. Isn't it neat?
Cheers,
Cris

Hell, everyone here has such cool jobs! It's impressive and a very entertaining read!



I am a low-level office slave in a small software/real estate company, and am about to drop out of a translating degree program. I might study Museology in the future, or maybe I'll start a career as coffeeshop girl, it's undecided.

Anything that pays the bills while I live a life of irresponsible leisure and fannish obsession, really.

My favorite real life hobby is acting in student theater productions. If I could make money doing that for the rest of my life, I would, but c'est la vie. *g*

I'm a librarian, and just decided to delurk and join the party.

I manage one of the larger branches of our public library system, and supervise the manager of a smaller branch. I used to be the Reader's Advisory Specialist (aka fiction librarian), and was called 'The Goddess of All Things Fiction' by some coworkers. I'm not as up to speed on that anymore--too busy with administrative details, and not selecting fiction materials for the library these days--but this has been my online identity for the past 7 years, and I'm keeping it.

Nice to meet you all!
