What I do is not nearly as interesting as what some of you guys do!
I'm a nurse in a Nursing/Residential Home, which means I'm basically a person who failed to become a doctor and now lives out his life being bitter about it and mumbling about 'flash bast***s in Porches banging my co-workers'.......
Seriously though, it's the most fulfilling job I've ever had and also one of the most frustrating. Trying to save a life and failing is by far the most awful thing I can expeariance, however, those days are few and far between and mostly I amble about dishing out drugs and occasionally flirting with the carers.....
Before this I was a carer and managed a nightclub, as well as odd jobs in Flower plants and pubs. It's been a strange life so far, and I'm enjoying it now more than ever!
If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it. item 87, skippys list

My girlfriend does the same kind of thing, even if you don't think it's interesting you are doing something to enable people to be able to live their life, i have nothing but respect for you.
Oh man, the first monster I see I'm going to sneak up behind him, whip out my wand, and shoot my magic all over his ass.
I'm a trainer working in financial services - not a proper teacher, but with some consultancy and management instead...
The financial services bit isn't that interesting, but the training side of it is - it's a lot of fun, and very rewarding when you see a trainee progress in understanding and ability.
Follow the White Scars Fifth Brotherhood as they fight in the Yarov sector - battle report #7 against Eldar here!
Your right, I volunteer for St John Ambulance and have reached the level of crewing the ambulances. Hence the medical related stuff, as its stuff enjoy. Not a paramedic as don't like/can't drive, so looking to train as a nurse in the next few years with some life experience instead. That all started today.
Cool, good luck with it. I've been considering training as a paramedic in a few years time, hence my interest. I need to sort out getting my driving license, as I'm guessing you need some years with a clean license before you can train.

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
Sounds easy though. Everything you need comes in a box

Some of all of the above. I love what I do and hope to get a few more years before trying something different in a nice, quiet, peaceful place where you can't smell raw sewage or stomp through trash on the street.
I somehow manage to take college courses in endless succession as well. I suppose I ought to get a certificate or degree out of it at some point but I usually just take what interests me.

The secret to painting a really big army is to keep at it. You can't reach your destination if you never take any steps.

My high school engineering design and development class is working on a system to replace MOLLE webbing, at least for airsoft and paintball, but we are also looking towards more universal applications (mostly extreme sports and the like)
