Granted, we are all artists in our own ways, however; i'm curious to know..
what kind of positions do we all hold?.. i am actually a prepress technician, cleaning up files before going to press with them, but a creative mind when it comes to photoshop i guess,
how about everyone else? if needbe, please explain your positions
i'm just curious.

Well, currently I'm a jack of all trades.
Manager of a leather store; student in IT:Technical Programming; layout artist for a local paper and most recently I've started my own "web design company' (more of a joke, but I'll see if it goes anywhere).

would that be a leather furniture or fetish store?

:-)

What Jaqueline said so eloquently. ;)
My pre-training included Customer Service at Coca-Cola, Hospital clerk-all floors, and MANY additional side-hash-slinging jobs. Don't blame me, blame the cook! ;)-

Hubby is self-employed so Tracy, you are our worst nightmare! lol Stories indeed!

That would be a leather store - shoes, handbags, smalls etc. very boring stuff, but it pays the bills ;)

as i had suspected, the results of this inquisition have provided a good glimpse of who we are, and what influences we may have..
i am amazed at the simple diversity between us, and yet, we all have something in common, an appreciation for this thing we call Caedes.net
i may be a prepress technician now, but 4 months ago, i probably would have responded: Professional Pizza Monkey,
(i'm soo glad a hobby became my profession(after the pizza place))

Great comment Cory. ;) But, I think you may have just turned the dicussion into yet another yummy topic. I'll take one loaded, hold the anchovies!

haha
sorry B.J., but the sight, smell, and taste of pizza do not arouse my senses at all any more..
blech..

I can understand that. I don't care much for taking my family's orders and serving them either. They never tip!

first of all... I love pizza! I could probably work in a pizza place for years and never get sick of it :)

Back on topic though, I am an industrial engineer (officially graduated today, hooray!). I am still going to school though, to get a masters in management. While in school I am working as a CAD drafter for a land surveying company, and doing programming for decision support systems as well.

Domestic Engineer....yes, I like the sound of that.

Add another engineer... I have a BS with majors in Electrical Engineering and Computer & Systems Engineering, graduated last May. That's not to say that my (overly expensive) education is being put to good use while I sit at home looking for a job, though. Anyone with leads? :-p

lol - bjb...I am the worst nightmare of many. No one likes us. Quite alright. ; )

I like you. Just don't tell hubby. ;)

I'm still a student. So I'm learning to be profession? Last year I did an education for IT-Manager. But the whole education and the whole school sucked! Now I'm beginning @ the education; 'Creative Designer'. I'll hope my caedes-career helped. I think it really does... Thanks to you folks.
Thanks again.

I'm a monitor tech/ward clerk in the ICU at a local hospital. I monitor the EKGs of all the patients along with the blood pressure, O2 saturization and any pressure lines they may have. I also do secratarial stuff like prepair and maintain charts, answer the phone, enter orders, page Drs, etc. Usually it's pretty interesting stuff, but I hope to go back to school soon to get an RN licence.

I create paltry images and attempt to pass them off has high quality for a living and upload them on a site called caedes.net. Ha ha ha! Oh the gullable people of this world! You should check it out, its funny!

CRAP! WRONG FORUM!
WHERES THE DELETE BUTTON!?!

Was a full time low voltage electrician, now part time, working my way into a fulltime position as photographer and digital ad and web graphics artist. Hoping to get fully out of the construction industry soon as possible, and move completely to the photography and graphics end. I'm getting too old for the construction deal I’m tired.

Its really interesting finding out what everyone does... cant believe how many engineers there are in here..... lol

It really is the full proverbial mixed bag :-)

Professional Beingmyselfasanewhighschoolfreshmen or BMAHSF ;)

But seriously, I'm an aspiring professional singer/songwriter and I'm currently composing music with a friend for a song I wrote, but to have something to fall back on in case that dream doesn't become a reality, also hope eventually go to college for graphic design or something to do with designing (clothing, arcitechture, interior, ect.).

Quoting Phil: It really is the full proverbial mixed bag :-)

Ah, another good definition of wife and mother....less the "bag" ha!

I am a teacher ( like my 'long-winded' comments don't give that away already!)

I am an artist---oil on canvas, pencil, etc... : )
but seriously, to pay the bills I work in the graphic design field.

I am currently a student, planning to go on as a musician or music teahcer. My "day job" is that of a janitor. The job's actually quite easy and enjoyable, too bad I don't get a cool bright orange jump-suit... guess thats gonna have to come out of my paycheck! ;)

..janitor by day.. musician by night.. back in high school there was a janitor that did that as well.. numerous times during the day, you could easily catch him playing the mop-guitar and rockin out to his headphones.. i saw him play one night, they were pretty awesome.. i think a year ago, he quit his job and is touring full time now..
so, whozur, i commend you ;)
