What do you do for Living?

[Torpedo]

I work in the law enforcement area - specifically, I am a police officer, 3rd level specialist, in a Crime Scene Unit, in Catalunya (Catalonia, Spain) police force, which retains the traditional name (with roots in the early 18th century) of Mossos d'Esquadra.

This is a plainclothes assignment, but we do have some uniform garments for specific jobs that need protection, like lab coats, overalls, etc. Here I am, equipped for an arson scene investigation.

15 years a cop in Winona, MN, and still going strong.

 

[HodgePodge]

Wow! So many people with so much on the go. Makes me doubly ashamed that I can't muster the courage to leave my comfort zone and go DO something.
I work for a small (the boss, me, 3 part-time therapists alternating days in) independent home oxygen company as the: delivery person, equipment technician, sales/service, reception, and in some admin. assistant/personal assistant/office manager/book keeping capacities. Pay is 'ok,' office environment/culture is pretty laid back, but certainly not 'a living.'
Need a better job, should go to school, pondering signing up to drive tanks, wishing I could fly.

[Lau Mo]

I'm a college student majoring in Cultural and Historic Preservation. I work in the archaeology lab at my university, cleaning and organizing artifacts from 18th century dig sites I've worked on in the past 2 years. I like archaeology alot, but I am hoping to go to grad school for museum studies after college, and to work in a history museum after that. I'd love to either work in collections management or public relations.

I'm about to finish my graduate degree in secondary music teaching. My day job is tutoring music students and conducting a few school bands.

 

[MaximOfSurrey]

Currently just a humble security guard, trying to fight his way up the food chain and get accepted to a police department.

VPD, VicPD, or maybe Abbotsford PD. Perhaps even RCMP, but from what I hear there's far more of backstabbing and office politics involved than in city-wide forces.

 

[Jedburgh OSS]

Rock blasting for the construction industry

Here's a video on Photobucket; over 600 holes and 10,000 pounds of explosives in the ground. A typical day's job.

[ThesFlishThngs]

Livin' on the edge, with no boss man, as an artist primarily, although I have extensively trained in massage therapy and have a few steady, loyal clients to keep me on my toes.
Artwise, I do body painting at festivals and private parties, stained glass, glass and mixed media jewelry, collage, assemblage, painting of canvas and murals, etc.......

Basically, if I can use my hands & heart, and answer directly to the client, with no middle man, I'm happy.

torpedo.... the name Mossos d'Esquadra intrigued me so i did a little research - what an amazing history - wonderful!

Planning on law school this time next year.

I can recommend the U of Michigan and Oklahoma City University
--and OCU is a hidden gem among lower-ranked law schools.
