I have a BA in History (emphasis on the rise of Communism post-WWII) with a minor in Classical Civilizations (emphasis on Rome).  I would like to take four semesters of Ancient Greek at some point.  This would complete Classical Civilizations (despite the emphasis) and Linguistics as second and third majors.

I have the most awkward job title in the company I work for - Manager of Customer Relationship Management (CRM).  Basically, I manage a team of people (myself) that develop customer segmentations, lead lists, etc. for targeted marketing campaigns through a CRM.  I also do a lot of analysis around customers' shopping behavior.  Despite what my job title is, I do not work in Sales, I work in Marketing.  Or something very similar to that; it's still not sales, it's more research than anything.  We're kinda like the Behavioral Analysis Unit of our company.

I'm the bald guy:

I have a BA in English Lit (Minor in Comp Sci) and a MEng in Software Engineering.

I'm currently a developer, but I'm considering pursuing a PhD in Software Engineering.

I have a BE in Mechanical Engineering, and I'm pursuing an MS in Industrial Engineering.

My current job title is "Specialist Engineer", and I help maintain parts libraries for various CAD packages at a large company. Think of it as very specialized IT. It has nothing whatsoever to do with my degree, but that's not so unusual. I only work part time there; grad school is my "real" job.

I think you're allowed to be directionless at age 18. Besides, Australian minimum wage is something like 15USD per hour! So you would already be in the upper 50% of American incomes :)

"Master of Computer and Systems Sciences". Title: "Programmer" right now.

Actually it is not a real Master's degree, but a Swedish "Magister" degree which is considered to be slightly below it. I would have needed to take courses for three months more or something to get a "Master's", but that is practically the only difference. EU-standard "Master" degrees were not introduced in Sweden until some time in the previous decade.
One thing that bugs me is that I can not title myself "Software Engineer" because I did not take a formal "engineering" degree, but was signed up at a non-"engineer" college. It does not matter that my faculty was joint-project between two universities and that 90% of my courses were taken together with "engineering" students ...

It usually entails companies that sell third party products where they reverse an item and make it better. For example, the xbox controller has been figured out so that companies such as Razer and Nyko can make their own cheaper/better controllers. I also think a security specialist would be cool, specializing in penetrating systems. (isn't that what iMav does?)

Last year of a my bachelor's in computer science. Very little interest in doing any coding or software development though. I come from a background in organic chemistry. Was not too into that and switched to this. I like the theoretical side and rather try to come up with new algorithms or memory addressing schemes or whatnot that are not so explicitly related to coding.

I actually hate computers in the same way that people call TVs idiot boxes. I do however love input devices. I find typing very relaxing and almost artful.

i guess i have the widest spread of educations around here (and pretty much the only one which no IT profession).

I have a master in business administration, a certificate to be an insurance agent and a certificate to work as a floor broker.

But the one which i actually use in my job mostly is that i am a fully qualified Head Professional in golf with a degree in golf science (yes, you can study golf. I got mine from the University in Birmingham) and a TPI certificate.

$15 minimum wage in Australia? Maybe if you're 18.

14 and 9 months you are allowed to work in Australia, cash in hand is illegal. Last year when I was 17 I was making $12 an hour as casual at Woolworths, dropped to $10.70 once I became part time.
