What do you do for a living?

I'm an accountant for a software company.
After like 10 years of school I finally got my CGA (Certified General Accountant) - it's a Canadian designation similar to a CPA in the USA. It really doesn't mean all that much - basically get paid more for doing the same type of work. Once I finished I had free time again and bit more disposable income so I got back into collecting and found out about this site.
My actual job title is Senior Accountant, however I am moving to a new job at the same company helping with the implementation of a new finance and billing system.
It sounds boring but it's actually quite fulfilling once you understand things and come up with the correct numbers. I'm at the point now where I do more analysis as opposed to the grunt work so it's been getting more interesting as I advance in it.
I'd also like to try teaching at a College or University someday. I've recently started buying and selling video games and that's been lots of fun as well. I also started taking apart NES systems and cleaning the pins and reselling those as well. I'd like to learn how to do some more complex fixes and mods as I just find it all so interesting. I'd love to eventually do something video game related and have that become my primary career someday.

I drive around on a Forklift most of the day for a German Owned American branch of a very old Puzzle and Game company.

I used to drive a forklift at The Ottawa Citizen (local newspaper) - it was one of the funnest jobs I've ever had.
