as for work, right now its summer so all i do is work lets see
at 4 am i work picking cherries till about 2pm
evenings im working at the hospital washing dishes and will do that full time for rest of summer average pay: $9.50 p/h plus evening and weekend differential, and cherries i make like average $120 per day.

im ass tired because i also babysit, and do oddball mechanic work for people. oil, filters, plugs, installing parts, replacing, diagnostics. etc.

im only 17 but im already worrying allot as to where my future is going, i really want that xj220 in the driveway and im pretty sure engineering is the most likely to get it.

I implement computer networks... w/o mentioning names, anyone familiar with the "eBusiness On Demand" commercials that have been playing a few years? I helped design and then deployed the hub for that.. so that's my claim to fame.

I currently travel around deploying satellite sites. Just got back from Japan and heading to Vienna and Sydney soon... life sure does suck :naughty:

Currently a university student doing a joint major in physics and computer science. As amazingly exciting as I know that must sound, I am taking an extra year next year to take general arts courses and some math’s in order to figure out if I really want to be doing this for the rest of my life. Might go into business or real estate or law or ...

PS. You can tell I've got my life figured out.

I work for a professional engineer/professional surveyor. That means I set up a $45k GPS system and then walk around carrying a carbon fibre pole in 95 degree weather for half a day, and then I sit in an airconditioned office and draw up maps on either autocad or tpc computer programs. Fun Fun.

Okay....another accountant amongst the college students and engineers and computer guys. :icon_cool

Yay...we're not alone!

Actually it's funny when people that see you running at the track or at meets ask what you do. Most don't know what to say other than "I didn't think accountants did this sort of thing", or "You don't look like an accountant."
