I am bored at work, so I thought I'd start a thread to which most everyone can relate.  

I am a CPA, specializing in entertainment.

What about you?

    I often think there are so many folk I know from here who I count as really good friends but I have no idea what they do for a job. Haha. Anyway, I work in an office EA/PA/Office Admin/Office Manager/Contracts Admin etc depending on the month/year. I organise office shit for others who are better out doing what they do best basically. :grin:

    I'll be serious too...

    I have been a resident advisor at a Job Corps training center, department manager of a college bookstore, used to sub and teach 5/6th grade, worked at our local health library before it moved out of town, was program assistant and tutor for Human Services at our local college, was a member of a use book co-op for four years.  I now own my own used book business (dealer sales, a few on-line sales and book fares), am a small-time vinyl record dealer and help my wife and her business partner in their bookstore (which is in its 34th year).
     
    Looking at my work history list, I see I have also held 24 other jobs since my first one in high school.

    I told my wife this evening that I'm thinking about trying something new.  Not sure what though.

    I am currently a PM for a miscellaneous/ornamental metals installer.  

    Before that I traveled the world as a superintendent for a concrete company that specializes in building prisons. 

    In my younger age I was an Alaskan fisherman for a few years.

    Awesome!  I have such respect for you (specifically, and generally) in such difficult but compassionate positions.
