I'm on my second childhood... pursuing a Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology (with a focus on sex therapy.) prior to that I've had a colorful past.

I used to be an avionics tech for operational test and evaluation on F-15 Eagles in the USAF, Computer Programmer for the B-2 Bomber doing post-flight data analysis and simulation programming, Also owned a company that was an Internet service provider (Network One Internet, Inc.), Owned a dyno shop (SWAT Performance), and prior to that played Judo for the USJA National Team.

I wonder who's had the most careers here? I'm going to be 40 this January, so I am sure some of the older folks can show more occupational diversity than I.

I run a custom mobile electronics store. When the market is up I also sell Real Estate. Used to be involved in finance, still hold my licenses here in FL, but make more money playing with cars and selling an ocassional house.

Ya I know you other guys make a lot more money, but i get a lot of time off and my job is a blast (for me at least, it takes a certain personality)

my hat off to you.

I'm a full time student (freshman) at UW-Stout for Manufacturing Engineering. The past two years, I worked selling auto parts. Now, I'm just browsing here instead of taking notes on Lewis dot structures in my chem class.
