Recently laid off from a Start-Up Internet company (ISP)... but I was a Network Engineer.
I'm enjoying some much deserved time off and also organizing my thoughts on starting my own business :D

I'm working on my PhD - almost there, can't wait to finish and get a "real job"! Although saying that I'll probably stay with academics, do a post-doc - be a real geek!
My research is on stallion sperm, trying to prolong the life and improve the quality of sperm following cryopreservation. I get to work with horses so I enjoy it.
Ideally I'd like to have my own stud farm and breed horses.... one day! It keeps me motivated.

I spent 28 with a major insurance firm in many different middle management positions. The last three yesrs I commuted 1 1/2 hours each way to work. To thank me, and many of the other "experienced" managers, the company let us go.
Since then I've been happily working 4 miles from my house at a job with no pressure working as a hardware/software technican. Allows me lots of time to read these posts, learn about Sw and spend on my tank. Life is good.

I am a Real Estate Portfoilio Manager. Love the job, but hate being on call 24/7. I could also use some more money, I need more tanks.

I am a Gulf War Veteran who mostly lives on disability (for now). I also work half-time for the City of Tucson's Transportation Engineering Department. Although I'm a lowly customer service/clerical person - I enjoy it. Also, I've had my share of education and prefer being lower on the totem pole. I'm way to poor for this hobby though. But I love it.

I run an internet business with a friend of mine selling coins and coin supplies. We have been at for about 2+ years, and I have the luxury of working at home for the most part. The economy has really put a damper on sales. Wages leaves alot to be desired, just ask my wife. I also do some web page design, mainly for e-commerce sites and a little programming. I used to have a computer shop a while back, but it really did not work out to well, bad location, etc. Prior to that I was a machinist.
I really want to be a farmer, a coral farmer that is. I am trying to learn all I can about coral propogation. I have been playing around with saltwater off and on for over 30+ years. With 7 children, not much funds left over for the hobby, not to mention the business. Thank goodness for my business partner.
