I'm curious what everyone does on a day-to-day basis. Students? Cops? Office staff? Writers? Artists? When we're not obsessing about set lists, tours, vinyl, bootlegs, posters or everything-PJ, what does everyone do for a living? :D

I work as a criminal prosecutor in Minneapolis-St. Paul, so checking out PJ.com on my lunch breaks is definitely a must to unwind.

    I'm an attorney as well, but just general practice / trying to find my groove / a little lost. Prosecutor is a tough demanding job, wish you well.

    This has been done before. It got to be a pretty long topic and it was interesting to see what everyone does. Seems like there's plenty in health care and general business.

    As for me I fly a charter jet.

    Hope things go well for you too my friend. Don't know that I'll always be a prosecutor, but for now, I'm very happy to be working anywhere. :) Where you you work/practice?

    They draw up the plans and I made sure all the contractors are building them that way - large commercial sites - everything from the dirt on day one to the concrete, steel and whatever at the end

    right now im a paralegal..... at first it was cool, but now its starting to suck really bad....im doing the work of 2 people, and our office hasnt given raises in two years...

    i was going to school for criminal justice/psych...got my associates in '08 and just havent been able to bring myself back to finish.....its so hard to work 40 hrs and go to school at the same time...i have a lot of respect for people who can manage....some day, if the world starts to look like it may actually survive past 2012 or some other date in the somewhat near future, i may go back....but right now i just feel like its an added stress that i just cant manage....and to go through all that and find out i couldnt get a job...that would be real depressing!!
