The 'What Do You Do' Thread!

[Lupo]

G'day,

It's yet another community building thread, YAY! The main point of this thread is to find out what everyone does professionaly (or unprofessionally) when they aren't saving your sister, or avenging the death of a googly eyed friend. If you aren't in employment but in education, then tell us what you are studying or have studied (you lucky people with an income can also say what you have studied too). Finally, why don't you share something you recently learnt from work or education.

I myself am currently studying an Access to HE Diploma in Science and hoping to take a BSc in Ecology and Wildlife Conservation at Uni soon. Previously I have studied A Levels for Graphic Design, Media Studies, Film Studies and English Language.

Recently, I learnt that we are currently witnessing a Mass Species extinction. The rate of species going extinct has risen by a lot over the past hundred years. The last mass extinction erased approximately 75% of all species on earth... Scary...

What about you guys?

I'm doing a PhD. My research topic is quantum plasmonics. In very simple terms, it's about how light interacts with metals at very small scales.

I do nothing. Literally. Looking for a job at the moment. Though I'm going to university in September to study Japanese and Music.

Some very interesting things so far, I'm not a big fan of Physics so I was so happy when I found out my course does t include it haha

I'm in the same boat as you Taylor, I am desperate for a job. I must have applied for about fifty over the past few months and am getting rejected constantly... I think my CV is pretty impressive if I am honest but oh well, I should hopefully find one eventually

Is being a lazy bum a profession? Because if so I'm at the top of my field at the moment.

I went to a trade school to be a computer technician, which I'm certified in! Yay! But jobs are scarce in my field right now so... whatever.

For money, I work two jobs. Doing what is a mystery.

I'm intending to go back to school for Business and Graphic Design once I earn some financial stability. I have a lot of pretty solid business ideas (shh) that I want to learn how to utilize properly. Then I'm also an artist, who attempted school once before for it. Lame.

But jeeze. Nice degrees, guys.
And I'm sure you guys will find jobs soon! Just keep rolling through 'em.

Graphic designer by day, freelance illustrator by night!

Honestly, the old Rare games formed/influenced my visual tastes so much.

[NiloStudo]

I'm animating a sci-fi feature film and a web series! Not...at the same time - I switch between them.

I'm going to school for medicine! Right now I'm pre-med and it's really fun learning about things and getting to help people. I'm actually going to be starting up the Radiology program this May and it's kind of a scary thought. I just hope I don't suck at it! >.< Otherwise I have an associates in general studies with a science focus.

Unprofessionally! I do let's plays https://www.youtube.com/user/ZainSAful and then I write in hopes to one day be published and a famous writer. Oh! I also help my friend test his games. Have you ever heard of Breakfast at Cemetery or Illuminascii? http://dddwares.itch.io/breakfast-at-cemetery and http://www.illuminascii.com/ I've been pretty much go to tester for these games. Not sole tester but when they were in alpha I was helping as much as I could.

I do Graphic and web design and IT for a chain of dental offices by day, and I during my offtime.

I work as a baker, but I recently applied to college for computer programming. We'll see if I get in; I've been out of school for years. I love to bake, but it's backbreaking work professionally and I actually have a bad back now (and I'm only 24).

Actually technically, I don't do anything currently since I was in a car crash a month and a half ago. Nothing too bad, lower speeds and all, but since I work a very physical job, I can't do it right now.
