I'm just curious as to the career choices of the members here at GeekHack. It doesn't even have to be a career, but if you're holding down a job or working on getting into the field of your choice, what is it? (e.g. working at a retail store, or just spending days at a time writing code to try and create something that might eventually get you a job). Or are you a student? Working your way through night classes while working a part time job?
No need for specifics.
So, I guess ill start:
I personally am a full time student at a university, while working part time to pay the bills and buy keyboards and such.

Very nice! I'm thinking computer science is going to be my second major.

I'm a programme director with a BSc in Psychology and an MBA. I work in large scale OD and L & D services.
Also spent time as a management consultant and worked in/run businesses from legal services to motor manufacture, telecoms to mail order retail. Even worked with a client running an international shipping port once which was cool.

...Rugby Football, Australian Rules Football, Gaelic Football, Harrow Football, etc etc... Not to mention that the sport referred to above as "Football" or "Soccer" should be more properly referred to as "Association Football", i.e. the game derived from the rules introduced by the English Football Association in the 1800s and now governed by FIFA.

I play ice hockey, though.

Falling in Reverse, Skip The Foreplay, Escape The Fate (1st album). The contract just got signed last year, so not terribly too much as of yet, but this year they're going to be throwing more bands our way (the contract is actually with me and a buddy of mine who used to play in Escape the Fate).
