What do you do for a living?

[Goldie]

So I did some searching, and if I overlooked an existing thread I apologize.

I am just curious, what do you guys and gals do for a living? How do you fund this sickness that we all seem to have?

I'd be happy to start. And on a side note, if you have one of those jobs that you can't tell us about without killing us, feel free to keep it to yourself :r

Ok, here goes,

My name is Drew and I live in Dublin, Ohio. I am currently enrolled in an American Sign Language interpreting program, so in 6 quarters or so, I hope to be looking for an interpreting job.

After I finish with that program, I have been considering an audiology program at either Ohio University or Ohio State University. I'm not sure yet. It is a 6 year program, but with transferred credits, I should have 3 years already knocked out. Or at least I hope.

So there it is. Anyone else care to share?
