I study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease / motor neuron disease), specifically looking at potential environmental toxins that my cause it.

Epidemiology, in short.

Taking the Bar in one month to be an Attorney, prior to that I was a big city cop and detective.

@Woodsjacker that is pretty sick :) was it tough as heck

The great and verbacious obiwanobiwan...

Is not at all succeeding in getting a retail job position.

But he tutors fellow students in English, charging more than the free Learning Center on Campus! (But then, my students also tend to do better, ie, actually pass, so, my Jewing them is justified.) :p

Obi would like to be a writer, and writes in his free time--when not writing on this site and getting involved in long theological and political debates--but accepts you need, well, an actual job to fall back on just in case...

So it looks like Obi plans, presently, to become a professor of English, as well as continue after his BA and achieve and MA or PhD...

Obi's been told "You should be a parelegal/attorney, Obi, you NEVER shut up, and SURE like to argue!" which is true, but Obis' not sure he wants to deal with all that, and Obi can barely afford a state college, let alone law school at a UC, but Obi hasn't ruled it out completely...

But, by now, you're all thinking:

1. Typical Obi post, it's gone on far too long, and
2. WHY is Obi referring to himself in the third-person, to which Obi responds
3. Because Obi felt like it

:p

Undergrad student studying economics and finance.

I work as a 'fixer' for some large and well-known corporations, taking care of certain problems that require a discrete and extralegal touch. I travel a lot to the developing world.

I think Tolstoy is a hitman...
Oh, the irony.

I am a political science, history and economics student at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If all goes well, I graduate in 2.5 years with degrees in political science and history (concentrations: comparative politics and secondary education, respectively), along with minors in economics and Latin. Career path uncertain; I'm setting myself up to be able to teach history at a high school level, but I also have options like law school, collegiate teaching, business, etc. open.

Flood Risk Management

(as such anything that increases flooding adds to my job security. Vote Global Warming! Vote Republican!)

Full-time stay at home son---------------------------------------------------------->

Electrical Engineering grad student. Currently doing computational nanoelectronics, but I'm hoping to move into experimental/fabrication soon.

@Abge - where would one be employed with a degree like that? I mean it sounds like it has a huge potential in research and lots of other things, but where are you looking for jobs?

@Eden - move north if you want to be a teacher. In NY some make 6 figures and then retire with 60% salary

^
OH!

One more reason to add to my massive list of why I want to move to NY, goldfinger...!

:O

@gold

Semiconductors is a huge industry.

On the design end, there are companies that require in-house cutting edge technology to make their products, like: Intel, IBM, Samsung, Motorola, Sony

There are also all the companies that design and make all of the standard semiconductors and ICs for others to use, like: Texas Instruments, Fairchild Semiconductor, Analog Devices

There are also the actual Foundries, which are incredibly expensive and complicated factories. Most are outside the US, but some are here, such as: GlobalFoundary, IBM, and Texas Instruments

Then there are National Research Labs, like JPL, MITRE, Lincoln Labs, Draper Labs that often do nanoelectronic work.

I'm not exactly sure where I want to work. I've spent a long time doing math and simulation, which has been fun, but I kind of want to move to real-world work. Not sure if I want to do experimental work, which would still involve a lot of design, or actually work in a Foundry.

@goldfinger - while I intended to move out of LA after undergrad anyway... there's a rather ridiculous demand for teachers down here. Pay isn't wonderful, but my chances of being unemployed are about 0%. lol

Plus I'm not even sure that I want to teach. The more I study economics the more I'm considering going somewhere fancy for grad school and going into an economics/financial field.

Own and run a biotech/chemical company; own and 'influence' a food safety diagnostics company.

I'm training to become as awesome as Denny Crane by studying law.

Average White Boy is an apprentice video editor with a BA in Political Science and a JD. Turns out that the legal field is kind of a dry well, but it also turns out that a legal education is a surprisingly useful background for a video logger to have.

I'm at secondary school and going to study Physics and Philosophy at Oxford next year.

This kid works in public accounting. Any others out there?

Working towards my designation.
