Occupation of Pearl Jam Fans

This is a curiosity mainly... I want to see where Pearl Jam fans stand in the economy, and if our fandom has any correlation to our life choices.


Pick the job/jobs you feel have the best representation of your life goals. No, not drinking beer, or going on "tour" with Pearl Jam. :P REAL jobs.

If you haven't landed a dream job yet, list your biggest accomplishment.

If you're a student, say you're a student and list your major and what you plan to do for a living after graduation.

If you have left the labor market, let us know what you did before you retired/had kids/whatever!

Are Pearl Jam fans stock brokers? Teachers? Journalists? Doctors? I would like to know!!

    Semi-retired from accounting and I now volunteer. I know there are quite a few in the accounting field on here from what I've read. :)

    I am a CPA (career choice I made in college), and I am lucky enough to work in music (lifelong desire).

    The responses this gets will probably be all over the place! (if everyone participates.)

    I haven't had a 'real' job in almost 12 years. I'm a stay-at-home mom right now and my husband is a Soybean Trader at the Chicago Board of Trade. When I earned a paycheck, I managed a pager store. Some people won't know what that is!

    I'm going back to school next year (or I might try to wing the state test) for certification to be a School Aide (Paraprofessional). I love helping out, might as well get paid for it.

    edit ... oh ... and I think I'd rather be doing a bit more on the operational side, using more of my statistical / marketing research side of my education ... it's a new year's resolution thing for 2008

    I am a Sports Producer for the Bay Area's NBC station in San Jose.

    I guess that makes me a journalist.

    I have pretty much landed a sweet job. It involves dealing with Oil and Gas Proponents working in and around our Traditional Territory. A great deal of the job involves archaeological surveying and traditional land use surveying with Elders from my Nation.

    I got degree in liberal/ media arts from University of North Texas and thought I had a job as an assistant producer for an up and coming film company but that fell through. :( All the music jobs did too.

    So I work at Target for now, but it's a cool job. I get to work in the back stockroom, just have to be careful when I'm climbing all those latters and carrying down the heavy stuff. The really cool thing though is even though they operate 7 days a week, a weekend could be like 3 or 4 days off in one week alot of the time. They have also been very accomodating about time off for concerts (my boss knows it's my hobby).

    I am also a street teamer for The Burden Brothers and Toadies. I don't get paid for that, but I enjoy it and have gotten some cool stuff from those guys besides the concert tix.
    My main goal in life is just to have fun and enjoy what I'm doing for the moment.

    Work in a control room, operating a refinery that converts trona into soda ash. You all use soda ash everyday, many different ways and dont know or care, thats ok, it keeps the money in the bank and food on the table.

    Trona is mined at the facility, about 1700 ft below surface with a longwall mining system, brought to the surface, crushed, cooked, dissolved, cleaned, and re-crystallized to be sent away for use in glass, paper mills, detergent, etc. We also make baking soda with the same rock (trona).

    I make 12 dollars a day, working 12 hour shifts. (that part is not true, in fact it is a lie, but the rest is true)
