Electronics Tech / Security Guard
I helped wire up the Yucca Mountain Sensors, fixing what some engineers failed to spot in the first place.
When I do not have an electronics job, I escort drunks out of casinos, and chase desert dwellers out of the parking lot.
heck it is a living, I may soon quit electronics teching, for guarding the airport or the dam.

Sir Henry.
While I still think I am in the Civil Service, the Postal Service keeps saying I am not. One of Clinton's "great" achievements was to cut a million people off of the govt payroll. He did this by saying the Post Office was now a private corporation and they changed our paychecks form treasury checks to Postal bank checks.
However, the Constitution states clearly the executive branch shall operate a national postal service, and since nobody has amended that yet I keep insisting I an official civil servant.
Yet another thing to thank Bill Clinton for. Since Bush came in I've been hoping he would set this BS straight again, but he hasn't. At least he finally stopped Federal Prosecutors from arguing in the courts that American Citizens do not have the right to own a gun, which is what they have doing since the Clintons told them that was what the Constitution "really" said and intended.

Graduate student of Criminology.
I am also a educational aide III, special reading. I help a teacher teach kids in junior high and high school who can't read how to read. Usually we're supposed to deal with dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome, and etc., but more and more of the kids we get at our level simply weren't taught to read properly. Whole language was designed for deaf people, but they insist on teaching it to everyone. It get's them to about the third grade, but that's about it. So to help these students, we give them the same instructiong we give all of the other students after we fix their specific problems: phonics.
So in essence, we spend our time fixing what other teachers and counselors failed to do earlier, whether catching reading disabilities or just plain teaching them correctly.
Oddly enough, the job complements the graduate studies, and has even given me a thesis idea.

Computer consultant. I do everything from network support to design, integration and administration. But years on a helpdesk have made me bitter, cynical and an enemy of lusers everywhere.

I do research for computer gaming companies by playing games, then thinking how I could have written the story better. In a few years I actually hope to work for a company and make money.

I do many things.
By day, a mild mannered torque and hydraluic equipment repairman. By night a webpage designer. On the weekends, a tanker in the Canadian Army. And, in my spare time, I'm setting up a Photography Studio.

Undergraduate education major. Yes, in about three years, I will be responsible for the education of the nation's youth, MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Well, Kansas youth anyway. High school science, at least.
Some may remember that earlier I said I was in mechanical engineering. I was, stuff happened, I switched.

Actress slash model slash ... no, wait.
Actually, I'm totally in the blue collar world, running a cash register at Wal-Mart (RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED!) ... oooo, ahhhh.
That's it.
I'm under the poverty level of the US by a considerable margin, and am a victim of one of the worst educational systems in the entire country. Basicly, I'm a moron. *But*! I'm a moron with a good sense of humor and a creative mind.
My big goal in life is still to produce children's books, both writing and doing the artwork, but since my accident years ago, my artwork has been problematic. Between the now, of working for the Wally, and the Then, of writing books for lil' kids, I'm hoping to get into writing comics, of all things, and/or roleplaying stuff. No, don't worry, I know I can't make money off of the latter, but, I'm willing to give up time and love for the game, to help others the way they helped me. Completing the circle and all that.
Lastly, if I can get over my claustrophobia, which makes road trips *extremely* difficult, I'll be putting my pro wrestling training to good use other than locally. Yes, you read that right. Know fear.

Well, I *am* Southern, you know. :b
Did I ever mention that I have the first WWF Wrestling Album? Including Capt Lou Albano's infamous duet with Geurge "The Animal" Steele. I'm so ashamed...
