Professional programmer, or at least I used to be. I am one of the dot bomb victims.
Went back to school in Physics switched to Math.
I would love to stay in academics, but I don't know if that is realistic. Might have to get another... real job. But, I am keeping my fingers crossed for grad school. Here's hoping.

Currently a UNIX/Solaris admin in the financial sector.
Entered geekdom by writing my first program for the Atari 800 in 4th grade. I Still own a working Atari 800XL in its original box with a big, orange "64K of memory!" sticker. Also have the flopy with my version of the Tron light cycle game and lots of other game disks. 
Havn't tried it in a few years though so I can't 100% vouch for the flopies still being readable anymore.

"Satellite Graphics Co-Ordinator". When I figure that one out...............anyway work for a company who produce grahics and polymer plates for the corrugated printing industry. I'm based with one of our customers and I basically co-ordinate (ie run around all day like a loony) trying to get what the customer wants when they want it. Trust me , the world may come to an end if those cardboard boxes don't get delivered. Apparently.

Wow!
In spite of the random pirate attack, from which I escaped by cleverly pretending to be a window model, I'm really amazed at the variety we have here!
Someone said they're a cartoonist and then tried to tell us that it didn't take talent? Uh..I can draw a stick-figure if you give me a big enough pencil!
Raising goats? I raised goats as a kid (no pun intended). They're such fun clever animals!
Programmers, doctors, retail workers, did I see a bar-hand? Tending bar is one of the least appreciated jobs out there. I did it for one summer while in school.
Alot of people seemed to play down what they do, and did. DON'T! Everyone is doing something downright amazing that is beyond the capabilities of some of us.

Media Manager for a Fortune 500 company - mostly focused on our intranet and internet sites, but also handle board presentations, annual report, press releases and graphics standards and anything else our execs come up with. Every day is different and filled with challenges. Some less fun the others though.
I really love that there are so many different kinds of folks who come here. I've enjoyed reading what everyone does. Great thread.
By the way pinballwizard - good luck on the Firefly Pinball - that really would be shiny!
