What did you study? What do you specialize in? What do you do for a living?

Just wondering if everyone had a degree or is currently studying and what everyone did for a living. Whenever I´m on TPG forums, I mostly spend my time on the "News, Religion, Politics and Other High Drama" section of the forums and I see a lot of discussions on science, religion, politics etc. so I was wondering what the people in these forums did for a living.

I studied Business. I am a financial consultant and work in project development and financial management. I own a bar and I just invested in a new restaurant.

What do you do?

Currently shooting for my A.S. in paramedic science...ideally would like to be a firefighter. I have a job interview at an ambulance company on Monday.

Schooled in the trades - Masters degree in industrial electrics.

Photographer - Graphic artist is my job for the last 10 years. Learned the trade by being a tricky tricky man, and learned through the school of hard knocks, preferred to buy the gear rather than pay teachers...

Worked from the time I was 16. Started in a trailer plant three days after I graduated HS. Then on to 7 years as an electrical lineman. Finally made enough money to join law enforcement. Got my A.S. in business then went on for a B.S. in Criminal Justice, all while on the job. Joined the Border Patrol and decided live wasn't greener and went back home. Been with the same agency for 10 years and now in investigations.

Interesting to see what kind of diversity is present here.

Currently completing a 2 year diploma. It's a preparation course for policing.
Applied for my honours bachelor of sociology next year.
After those 4 years I will be applying to Ontario Provincial Police.

Have worked at Marineland Canada ( a themepark in Niagara Falls, Ontario ) for the past 5 summers.

Basically, I'm not at all learned and have zero expertise with anything.

On and off college but learned pretty much everything I needed to know in high school typing and OJT with the USAF. Got out and spent several years traveling around the US building cell sites, then went back into data and wound up in my current position as a merc out in Southwest Asia doing networks for the Army.
