Larian Studios Forums General Chat What do you do for a living?

Well, I haven't seen any other posts on this subject so I thought I'd ask.
For those who don't know I'm a chemist. Pay is pretty cool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

i think most everyone knows i work in a coffee shop, slingin' lattes. i am also a student.

Just to carry the post on a bit. What do you study Faile?

So Womble, that is where the chemist thing comes from. What sort of work do you do as a chemist? That's a very broad area. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Faile, I too at one time 'slung lattes' while going to school. Of course, that was back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Branwyn, I do organic synthesis. Messing around with smells type-of-thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I work for a small pharmaceuticals company.

Two of three chemists I know work for drug companies. The other works for an aircraft manufacturer. I am sure your work is fascinating. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm a Software Engineer. I do stuff in C++, Visual Basic, and now also some java, jsp and javascript.

And I can say that I HATE java and LOVE C++.
anyway, look at www.rekencentra.be for more info on the products we make

I am a Shift Leader in a printers, we print googols and googols of labels, paper , plastic and metalised, i work in the Finishing department. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

[color:"yellow"]womble- [/color] i am just getting through my generals right now, but i plan on going into either biology or environmental science.

[color:"red"] Faile, [/color] go for the biology side of things if you fancy a reasonable job. Just a small piece of advice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sometimes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Already said this in another thread, but I'm a primary standards metrologist. I work RF and microwave. But there's very little in metrology that I can't do. (Though there's quite a bit that I would prefer not to...)

So Spick, what exactly does a shift leader do? Yell at people? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[color:"yellow"] womble- [/color] i want to work for a non-profit organization helping to save endangered species and habitats. is that resonable enough for you?

Sounds like you know what you want to do with your life Faile. I myself am a simple person craving a job that puts food on the table and beer in my belly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

A solid background in Biology will still help more IMO, even for understanding eco-stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I am a genealogist. I spend countless hours researching and researching. It is interesting if nothing else.

Hi everyone,

It amazes me that most people here are adults! with jobs and all.

That's great because it fills me with hope. I'm still going to school (the 12th and last year - in the U.S. School system that would be college right?)

Anyway it fills me with hope cause I figured that I will grow out of playing RPGs but if nothing goes wrong I will still be "here" in 20 years <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am a fulltime unemployed man. Still searching for the "job of my life" like they say it. I know i want to work with computers but cant seem to find exactly what i'm looking for.

Zeus!!

There is no last year. Heck, I've had the regular 13 years (kindergarten through high school). I followed that with 5 years at the university, and then two more years at a tech school. And I still take classes...just for the joy of learning. In fact, in the last couple of years I've taken a class in Milton, three HTML classes and some VB just for fun. Nothing to do with my work. (Well, I do use VB at work...but I didn't have to!!!)

But you're right about this...you can be old and grey and still playing on your computer. If I didn't color my hair, I would be!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

womble- i think i'll wind-up taking whichever one requires less math, which is my major weak point.

Well, I'm software developer, using Assembler, C, sometimes even C++, writing drivers for our PCI-cards (Windows NT/XP) and other hardware-related software.
