i am all about networking and lo and behold what do we have here but a network of a few hundred cool kats, soooo.... just curious what you guys do for a living ?
it's good to know, because you never know when you might need the advice of say.... a Marine Biologist for instance.

I own a restaurant (burger joint)

i will start, i work in Broadcasting. Currently as a Technical Director, but i have also edited (when things were still on videotape) and i can shoot camera. I freelance in NYC at NBC, ABC, PBS...etc

Good idea for a thread!

I'm a civil engineer, I design roads and bridges for New York state highway system.

Teach high school science, all core subjects, usually 9th grade.

I'm a formulation chemist. So I formulate cleaning products from car washes to shampoos. If it cleans something, I can probably make it. I prefer to formulate with 'green' chemistry in mind too - everyone seems to be jumping on the green bandwagon these days. I also write and design the marketing literature. Art AND science all at once :wee:

I'm a network administrator....and I sell kites on the side.

I do motion graphics / print / website stuff for music/tv/film out in LA at the moment

Elementary school teacher :D

Environmental Safety and health with a side dish of HazMat here...;-)

Air Traffic Control Supervisor/27 years - wife's money. Part time landscaper/5 years - kite money!:D:D

Great question, it's nice to see who gets into kites..
I am a General Contractor (mostly repair), and I am part owner of an environmentally green car wash system for car dealerships, and I sell kites.

Food Catering Supervisor for International Flights (CLS Catering). I get to yell at people all day and sit on my a$$.

apart from that Full Time sponsored kitebuggier and kiteshop / distribution co-owner.

I do Computer Aided Design and drafting. CAD. For the last 5 years I've worked for a land developer as a Civil Designer and design their subdivisions. I also aid in property evaluations to help decide whether property would be profitable or not. Worst side is getting plans approved by municipalities, just boring bureaucratic stuff. My passion is with 3d modeling though. Just no work in that here. I was a college instructor in the same field before we moved here for my wife's job. That was fun with great hours and summers off.

I'm still a student in college hoping to get into electrical engineering; and i work part time at a Menards (for those of you who don't know what that is, its like a Lowes or Home Depot, but centered in the MidWest...)

The only drawback is, its kinda hard to strap a buggy (and all your gear) to your back and ride a Harley at the same time.
