UPDATE:
After 10 months of unemployment and doing some side-gigs, I'm in a startup compliance software shop (started mid-july). What do I do? It's a startup, so pretty much anything that needs to be done, but mostly serve as a buffer between Techies and Business. Techies think I'm Business, Business People think I'm a Techie. I may get an identity crisis like that ;) :thumbup:

Update: I work at a place called Intersect ENT now. We make a drug eluting sinus stent. It's a pretty cool technology. We got FDA approval and launched a new product last month and so far everyone loves it. Also check out the "how it works" video.

Intersect ENT

I'm still loving medical devices. In addition to physicians, you need all the folks in biotech who work so hard to deliver new technologies that let them help their patients.

I am a videographer for the local PBS station.
The job involves much more than running camera.
Something different everyday so it keeps me happy.

Firefighter/EMT and when dispatch sends us on a car vs motorcycle it always makes me a little nervous to know what we will find. 9 times out of 10 not the riders fault.

I do basically the same thing. At my company we call it product management.

My company makes accounting and property management software for residential and commercial for property managers, fee managers and real estate trusts. I make sure that our software meets the needs of the clients.

I was on 2 of the CG 378' Cutters that had the 12 cylinder, opposed piston(24) diesel engines. You haven't lived until you've had to rewire the flex joint connecting the crank shafts:eek:

I teach 2nd grade at an elementray school in Reno, NV

Hottest teacher around when I arrive on my FZ6 in the morning. Park it right up front so the school secretary can keep an eye on my baby.

Until two weeks ago I was a mortgage banker.

I got the job right after graduation from college. It was suppose to be only for few months to pretty much avoid having a gap on my resume.

Well what do you know, the job was sucking me in. 90% of my job was all about getting new clients and establishing my client base. No social life at all. I was going to networking parties, business development meetings pretty much 24/7.

I figured out that this wasn't for me. I wasn't learning anything new in terms of skills and once I would commit myself to being in sales i would be stuck there for the long haul. That's a big no-no for me. While I am certainly motivated by money and can't say that I didn't enjoy my commission checks, my mind is geared more towards analytics and problem solving.

So I quit my job two weeks ago and now I am contemplating my options for going to grad school for a MS in Statistics/Econometrics and for the time being trying to find a job that is somewhat more related towards that degree.
