So I know a bunch of people here are talking about work etc.

Just wondering where you all work or what you're hoping to do?

As some of you know, I quit my job earlier this year (I finished at the end of February) to focus on developing NDim which is the software that this board (and lab/ATTWS2) runs on. I started making it a couple of years ago and I'm hoping that something comes out of it.

Generally I do computing work, specialising in software development but with more of a history in web development. Not earning at the moment, living purely off my savings. I'll probably look into freelance web/app development towards the end of the year if nothing else comes around.

I'd rather avoid employed work altogether for the time being.

I don't do anything. Technically, I'm still in school, but it's summer and I took the spring semester off, so I've been home since late December. I guess I could say that I work at my family's tailoring/dry cleaning business, but I don't really do much there except look pleasant and help my grandmother if she needs it.

I have a job doing Construction Testing/Inspection. It is mostly field testing of concrete before they pour it, but there are other on site and lab tests I have done as well. I am looking for another job though, as I have an engineering degree and a construction management certification. This technician job was one of the only things available when I was looking, but since then I have talked with a lot of companies about positions where my degree/certificate would be used (mostly project engineer positions).

I just finished my first year of graduate school at The College of William & Mary. During the school year I'm pretty busy with a classes, research, and teaching. The masters program is entirely funded and I even get a stipend so that's pretty cool. I received my undergraduate degree in business and my plan is to get a PhD in Organizational Behavior. It's a field that combines everything I love about business and everything I love about psychology while removing the stuff I don't really care about (e.g. neuroscience)

Just wrapped up my summer teaching so I'll be looking deeper into PhD programs over the next month or so until school starts up again.

I'm a director, writer, producer, editor, and actor.

( www.youtube.com/thatlostmike ) if you want to see some of my work

I used to work as a few director's assistants, and producer's assistant, and even an Academy Award nominated actresses assistant both on and off movie sets.

HOWEVER

I just landed a new job the other day as Partner Manager with a YouTube related company. I begin work on July 9th, very excited.

I'm also oven roasted chicken.

With country vegetables.

Jokes aside, I'm seriously happy for you Mike, that's super cool!!!

And no Curtis, not yet. Go see the other thread I kind of explained. But, I do play for my church and we have a live video stream so...more than likely you could tune in and listen to me play. But I don't know what the sound quality is like and also it's worship music...so your soul would probably turn to ash.

I just earned my Associate's Degree in General Studies, so the world is mine. I just had an interview to work at a men's clothing store. I'm also an actor.
Let's do this bitch.
