What would be your 2nd Career choice?

Rules of the game:

1. Name your current career
2. If you are in school for something but have a job not in your field - name what you are studying.
3. Name what you would do if you suddenly could not get a job in your current career field.

For example, I'll go first:

I'm currently an Intern computer programmer. I go to school at ITT Technical Institute for a degree in programming. I guess if I had to do something else, I would be a plastic surgeon. Not just "boob jobs" (though that would be nice ). It would be kinda cool to do like facial stuff and help people that have been deformed. It's just something else I think I could enjoy doing.

Al'right, your turn!

Mechanical engineering student probably going into thermal fluids, eyeing aeronautical fields. First choice: Scaled Composites in Mojave, Ca (builders of space ship one: the first commercially funded spacecraft)

Second choice: Columbia Aircraft in Bend, OR who just hired one of our graduates.

Airplanes rule.

1. Name your current career
- Intern in Retail Management

2. If you are in school for something but have a job not in your field - name what you are studying.
- College Senior, majoring in Business Information Management & Systems

3. Name what you would do if you suddenly could not get a job in your current career field.
- I'd probably open up another location for my parents business. We own a framing/art gallery in Columbia, SC.

Bread truck driver.


If I suddenly lost my job I think I would like to buy a small coffee shop in a mountain town and spend my free time fly fishing small lakes.

My present Career is "Environmental Emergency Response Coodinator" for PA DEP

I've started making Neck-Through Electric guitars and solid wood speaker cabinets in my basement wood shop.... I'd REALLY like that to take off cause I'm REALLY tired of pulling on-call rotations and dealing with deisel fuel spills and HAZMAT fires at 2 am....

1) Not sure right now. I was hired on to do electronics assembly, testing, some R&D, and computer work. I've spent most of my time machining parts and it sucks. I wish I was doing electronics work, since that's what i'm going to school for....
2) Ex-U of Wyoming (Go Cowboys!), now at ITT studying Electrical Engineering Tech or whatever they call it. ITT's more expensive than a year at UW, and they're teaching me stuff I already know.
3) Hmm... I like doing electronics work, that's why I'm still doing it. But if I had to choose another job... probably porn editor/cameraman, maybe pro bullrider, or perhaps someone who gets paid to fuck around on IRC all day (haven't found that job yet).

You do realize that you can "Test Out" of a class, right?!? Seriously, I got out of my C++ II class that way. I took the C++ I class then studied really hard and took the C++ II test. I got a passing grade, so they gave me the credit, and the best part was that I didn't have to pay for the test OR the class!

Yeah, and the test-out exam for the english class is to write a 3-pg research paper in under 4 hours. I'm good, but I think that's virtually impossible, even with google.

The intro-to-computers class was nothing about computers- that test asked weird-ass questions that aren't commonly known, and they're only in the book.

It's bullshit, I tell you. Just like the apartment managers here.

Just remember when you get to the "Intro to computer programming" class that there are 1440 twips in 1 inch. lol Now that's something that everyone should know.

As for myself, I don't really have a "career" just yet, but I'm in my second year at my current Gov Contract job and things are going pretty well...

If I could have a 2nd choice, I'd probably go with video game design or comp graphics... To be more realistic, Law....
