Me?, I'm an electronics technicain with a large distributor in Canada. I also have a BA in management and several years exp in various service fields. I perform everything from customer support > surface mount repair > configuration interfacing > managing current processes.
What do you do?

I currently substitute teach in Santa Ana, Ca. I've been teaching for over 15 years. Before that, I was a center air traffic controller, editor of film reference books, semi-pro racquetball player, and wow, I could go on and on with all the odd-jobs. I'm also a house husband, tutor and film historian. HA! Those all really pay WELL!

Me? Proffessional Slacker...

I teach (non tenure track) philosophy (ethics and political philosophy) at Washington University in St. Louis and Webster University (also in St Louis) when I'm not working on my dissertation.

I also work, a few hours a week, as a reference librarian at the Wash U library.

You and me, ES.

Professional slackers-in-arms.

I'm currently studying psychology at the local community college (Wash U wouldn't exactly offer me a scholarship ). I spend my free time writing but rarely get published. I manage a video store in order to fund my continuous daydreaming.

You can add me to the pro slacker list. Yes siree, that's the life.

...Receptionist on the weekends, full time student at Santa Fe Community College on the weekdays, and a hardcore slacker everyday of my life.

Do you mean Santa Fe, New Mexico? Don't you live in Gainesville, Florida? Last I heard those two places are like 2000 miles away from each other...

Nope, Santa Fe Community College is in Gainesville. I think it is named after the Santa Fe River.

Ah, I see.

Metacritic Editor, one-in-a-while attorney, summer school English teacher, future banana salesman (don't ask!)

I'll have a bushell.

Don't feel too bad, Jack. My own experience is that, if you do well in your undergrad and you want to do advanced work (grad or professional school, f'rinstance), you'll find a place to do it. I went to a big (and totally non reputable) state school for my undergrad but got funded at Emory Law and got funded offers from a multitude of good philosophy programs before settling on Wash U. I got into better undergrad schools, but I just wasn't willing to take out student loans. I did my entire college education (undergrad and grad) without paying a penny for tuition. I would have had to borrow over $100,000 to go to Emory or Duke just for undergrad!

I am a professional tired, lazy student. I say that with much pride.

Right now, I'm a part-time college student, a youth baseball umpire, and a middle school track coach.

Like several of the others who have posted here, I am a teacher.

I finished my Ph.D. in English at UCLA in 2001, and soon after I got a job teaching English at Long Beach City College. I teach a wide variety of composition and literature courses. Long Beach is a very diverse city, and I get to work with many interesting people. I feel extremely lucky because I love my job.

I'm just a simple warehouse person. My days/nights are spent pick orders for the UK's largest label printing firm. No qualifications as such part from my GCSEs (not sure of the equivalent) but they're about as much use as a bucket that has no bottom to it.

Still getting my BS and then most likely graduate school. And yeah, it feels like I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life.

hee, i think it's really cool that so many people are teachers i want to be one when i "grow up." haha. right now i'm going to be a second year at uc berkeley (in california) majoring in ethnic studies and minoring in english i llove college, haha.
