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.

Currently unemployed, other than doing some freelance video work here and there for local groups and people I know. I just (finally) graduated and I've just started doing some networking to see what's out there (something school didn't do for me at all).  :)

You have my sympathy. With few exceptions, the people who work in that section are not too helpful. I don't know how many times I've asked them to go check for something in the back, and they won't because the computer says its out of stock.
