I'm a powerplant operator for a town I don't even live in for a company that I don't even get my utilities from ha ha. I make sure that people have a constant flow of electricity and I also get to control the water pressure for there houses. I also take some really dumb phonecalls. As people like to say, I sit around and do nothing all day. Which is kind of true. I play a lot of videogames, watch movies, and fix stuff while at work a lot. But I'm not paid for what I do, I'm paid for what I know how to do. All in all I make good money. |

Forte IS an alien. I've got pics to prove it :P I guess most of you sorta know what I do. Degree in Industrial Design with a minor in Graphic Design and Ceramics. I own a little design firm of one, Wiggy Design, LLC. I have some of my own products that I sell and am always working on new ideas. I worked outside the house for a few years after graduation, and then the job market got really shitty plus my health was sorta giving me troubles, so I just started working from home on m own stuff instead. It ain't easy, I'll tell you that much. It also sucks taking on 100% of the risk when making some sort of investment in the company. But I enjoy it :) |

To elaborate on what I said before on being an entrepreneur. I am a small time video game reseller. I pick games up cheap and sell them for profit. I know what I do gets alot of hate around here, but I am slowly building up a proper business where I have a brick and mortar store and an accompanying website and I get bought out by gamestop.....shit. I was thinking once I get my store going and I have some dough, start up a development studio, and since I don't know how to program, do what ENIX did back in the 80s and hold a competition to find programmers. |

Scarm (I always read your name as 'scarm-you-let' for some reason), you won't ever catch me hating. I don't get why that bothers folks so much. I mean we ALL buy 2nd hand in brick and mortar shops as well as online on amazon, eBay, etc. It's no different. And while I'm sure that there are folks here that haven't, I'm willing to bet that about 90% of us have purchased something at a killer price with the sole intention of selling it at a *GASP* profit. There's really nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, it's one of the great things about the free world ;D |

I certainly don't hate on flipping games for a little coin. Found a copy of .hack//Quarantine sitting in a plastic tub that my friend's stepdad's repo business got a hold of. Didn't mind putting that on eBay. /topic I am a music teacher. I work at a studio/LLC in town giving music lessons and am working with a homeschool band program. I also gig 2-3 times a week and am in a band that I have no idea how long will last, haha. It's fun though. Can't say I'm making a killing, but I am living 'the dream' so to speak. |
