I bet it beats being one.

I'm a Certified Investment Management Analyst(R), meaning I assist Endowments, Foundations and Private Investors to develop, implement and monitor long-term investment strategies.

Interesting work these days .

I grew up poor. I eat what I'm served (although I am quite partial to Welsh Rarebit and Sheperd's Pie). My favorite beverage is, literally, iced tap water (St. Louis has the best water in the USA).

I buy and sell lenses and cameras to satisfy a compulsion to have things, and I have imprinted on Pentax. I like the engineering and quality of the 70's and 80's mechanical bodies and I have the Pentax lenses . . . . .

Beats drugs, and I can take pictures with them.

I am a Behavior Specialist. Fancy title for sure. I teach and assist staff in dealing with challenging behaviors of people with disabilities (25 years of this). Oh yeah and I umpire youth baseball, just finished my rookie year and survived!!

Favorite Food: Ice cream
Favorite Soda: None really, It is fruit juice for me

[a a i b]

I'm an architect in Brooklyn; well, the office is in Manhattan.

A lot of interesting and diverse careers here...
Me? Husband, dad & Navy medical officer are my jobs. For pay, I take care of Aussie troops, basically.

Favourite foods?
So many - mostly middle-eastern cuisines (naturally, as being of Egyptian heritage) such as fava bean stew, molokheia (look that up), beef shawerma with koshari (a style of rice), bamya (okra stew), mahshi (vine-leaf covered rice mix), kobeba (mince meat with chopped onions, pine nuts, parsley and spices battered and deep fried) - the list goes on - they're all too good to pick one out. I haven't event come to the desserts yet...

Drink? No sodas for me either - mainly water, juices or karkadee when I can get it (all you nile cruisers would know what this delicacy is...)

I'm a speech-language pathologist at a school for kids with autism.
All day long I play with kids, and if I do a good job, they play back.
(That's not strictly true. Some days I sit at meetings with adults and wonder if it looks at all like I might be paying any attention at all. Presumably that is why they pay me the big bucks. )

Soda: Keep the roots out of my beer and pass me a proper pint, would you please?

Food: What are we having?

[flyer]

I'm a printer. My brother and myself are running the family business. We specialize in specialty short run catalogs, doing everything "in house" (or almost).

As a pastime, I enjoy flying (I own a Cessna 210, and rent sailplanes), airbrushing, cycling, traveling and photography.

Favorite food would be a rack of ribs an the B.B.Q.

Favorite drink: I invested so much in Coca-Cola, I should own the bloody company.

Job: Currently on my last 2 weeks of paid vacation then I am officially retired! 30 years of working in various technicial capacities for Canada's largest telecommunications entity is drawing to a close. This is going to be great! Well, it might have been if I hadn't gone out and started a new career 2 weeks ago. I am in the final stages of my training to be a bus driver. Am I crazy? Perhaps. If the bus driving thing craps out I still have my paltry pension to live off - 'till my next job. I have a need to keep moving.

Food: I must say I really like a zesty chicken ceasar salad. I'm pathetic.
Soft Drink: Diet Pepsi
Booze: A nice spicy bloody ceasar with a decent dram of good vodka - again with the ceasar!

[woof]

Work: Technical Lead/Enterprise Architect/Project Manager in Information Technology for a major (top two) Ivy League University.

Favorite Food: Varied. True Baja style Mexican.

Favorite Soda: Any Ginger Ale followed closely by RC Cola

woof!

Love that approach!
No, you're not crazy, just not keen to staying home being idle...
Great stuff!

Currently in the Army as a Medic serving in Korea. I will be here untill January and hoping to get accepted to flight school to become a helicopter pilot.

Might see you around the traps then, Sir.

I'm an Advisor with Sun Life ...that means I sell Insurance and Investment products. I have been involved in the financial services industry since 1962 (aging my self) ...and with Sun Life for the past 20+ years. Economic conditions have had some impact, not as much as one would think however.

Having been born in India, I have a taste for East Indian food, but enjoy just about anything except licorice. Have to do something about my lunch bills that run about $30 a day in order to fund my LBA, have to cut out the double martini I guess. ...Well perhaps not, summer is drawing to an end and then I won't be golfing Tuesdays and Fridays, so more time in the office and make more money.

[SCguy]

I am a general automotive technician. Yeah, a mechanic. My favorite food is maybe bacon, enchiladas, and if I had to name just one, Alice Springs Chicken from Outback. My favorite soda is Cheerwine.

Everyday, I get up early, go to work, and keep people on the road. I specialize in driveability diagnosis, TPMS systems, and general engine work.
