OT: What's your job/career??

[Raging Deadstar]

This thread is interesting, if you were here a year ago and posted, to look back to see what you thought/were doing last year.

Heh, for me I was pretty accurate. I ended up finishing college much earlier than expected (Like April 05 instead of July 06 ). I'm currently unemployed again and looking for part time work.

But I've been doing Voluntary Work for the last 7 months. Currently I'm working on and off constantly for 4 organisations and it's been great fun! The main problem I have is time. There's so much more I want to take on.

Worked every year of my life (except 1) since I was eight years old. That's newspaper delivery, to fast food, Greek restaurant, textile mill (in the lab testing nylon, etc. for panty hose), and when given my lottery number for the draft to service, joined Army Security Agency (intel) and that got me started in computers. 20 years later, I retired and hired on in an IT position. 5 more years and retire again. THEN I'll be able to work full time on what I like...graphic arts (where I get a few jobs by word of mouth).

I have ONE good bit of advice you should heed:

Not sure what Canada does about offshoring (etc.), but when considering a career, you might give some preference to one that can't be done out of your country.
