occupation poll..err..listing

riding on the coat tails of the age poll (no claims of originality ;))

wondering what everyone here does when they're not slaving over little plastic bits, accelerating the onset of carpel tunnel syndrome and killing braincells with fumes (and don't act as though the smell of tamiya acrylic doesn't put a smile on yer face!)?

my excuse- still in college, beats doing that studying stuff everyones' talking about

also helps maintain some semblance of sanity juggling three jobs in the meantime


...no doubt this has been done before but i came up empty in the search so i claim immunity ;p

Messa advertising student

Been unemployed for the last 12 months after jacking in my job at a car insurance call centre. Fed up with the lack of good jobs around my area and its pretty hard to find sound engineering jobs for which i'm qualified. So as most of you all know i decided to go into self employment and aslong as it brings in enough pennies i guess i could call myself a professional model maker!!!;)

I'm working in IT in my firm.

Design Engineer
Prefers working in automotive tooling design but currently working in the specialised high-speed door industry(tranlated: boring).....can't wait till the motor industry picks up again....
