Lurking around this board I discovered that there were several librarian Browncoats out there, besides myself. Got me wondering as to what other Browncoats did for a living? Were they students, stay at home moms, accountants, actors or computer techs?

So, what do you do to earn your keep on the 'Earth that was'?

clean up vomit at 3 a.m., learn each and every one of the wiggles' dance routines by heart, and make enough bowls of macaroni and cheese to clog the arteries of an entire nation.

In other words, a stay-at-home mom, and lovin' it. (well, except that vomit part. But he's better now.)

Aw, kids are so cute. I would know, having grown up in a daycare my mom runs through our house. I practically live with food stuck to my clothing when I help after school and practice! I'm a junior in high school, getting my act together for college. I'm involved it a lot of stuff, and crazy as it sounds want to take up a few more things (like dance). I golf and run distance track (the mile is the best event, period!) for my school, as well as volunteer for Key Club and Amnesty International. I'm also an Alto in our Concert Choir. I'm a brownbelt in karate (just got promoted to 2nd degree brown, which is 2 belts away from black)
I also like to draw and play with my two dogs.
Just your everyday student!

I think you might be an above-average student, RiverGoddess. You sound like the kind of student I wanted to be. I did do karate for a while but didn't get very far before quitting because I got a part-time job and couldn't bothered to find some place that does karate on a day I wasn't working. I will take it up again sometime though. (River inspired me!)

I am at Uni now doing a Master's degree in Civil Engineering and I am growing tired of education and can't wait to get out there and work (although I'll probably grow tired of that pretty quickly too coz I'm so lazy).

Well, I'm glad that people in other walks of life know how to appreciate good cinema. And that we come from all walks of life.

I'm currently the assistant technical director at my campus theatre/conference center. Means I'm a slave. But I work freelance as a Grip/Electric on TV and Film sets. Just until I can go somewhere where I can get a permanent job or work as a day player as a grip.

Its ironic cause I have a degree in music. But I don't ever plan to make it as a writer, though I love doing it.

I think that's the most updated job title we have for now. The name changes every now and then. We tell you that your little pocket knives aren't allowed on the plane... blah blah blah.
I have to say though that it's the most interesting job I've ever had. As chaotic and as frustrating as it gets ... the good still outweighs the bad. Plus... You never know when one or all of the cast of SERENITY might go through one of our security checkpoints. What a day that will be. I just hope I don't end up making a fool of myself (smile)and even if I do... It'll be worth it.

Freelance cartoonist.

People call me up ask me to draw summit cartoonifyed and I draw it.... Well if I feel like it.

Sometimes it's a storyboard, sometimes a comic, sometimes a cd cover(which later lead to directing the music video), or sometimes it's to design a prop of some kind.

Never studied for it, but (in fact I was urged not to draw cartoons) just drew like mad as a kid and in particular cartoons and just kinda fell into it really.

Currently trying to pitch some of my own stuff to book publishers plus I'm working on a script with some friends to pitch to the BBC as a tv show.(pipe dream I know!)

Oh and before anyone says they could never do this because they're not talented enough, well neither am I. I just work really hard. Trust me none of it is talent! and none of it comes naturally.

I am career QA like one other guy here who's in his 40s.

We must be mad!

Luckily our company is the first I have been in that really respects QA and know's how important it is.
Most companies treat their cleaners with more respect than their QA departments

Good luck with the job when you go for it, any company in particular you want to aim for?

QA get a lot of respect from me, I can imagine what a horrible job that can be especially at crunch time.

Companies...well I'm in Scotland so nearby there's Rockstar, Real-Time Worlds, a few mobile phone games companies, and then down south there's Sony/Codemasters/Lionhead - quite a few big names as well as many smaller ones.

Ultimately though - emmigrate and work for Blizzard/Bioware/Valve or get a job at Revolution in York, they'd all be dreams come true really.

Of course :D

It's really a computer programming course geared towards game development, which means we do some graphics work and audio programming. The course I'm doing was the first in the UK (one of the first in the world) but there's similar courses all over the country now, big in America too I think.

I was a theatre production major in college and even put it to use when I graduated with my BA. I jumped on board a small independent film production company here in my town of Cincinnati, but since we were pretty much self funded, and couldn't afford to keep going, the company shut down. *sigh* It was fun while it lasted.

So now, I am a billing specialist for a non-profit organization that helps children with foster care, therapy, helping them cope with divorce, we help single parents or first time parents. It's a pretty rewarding job in all honesty, knowing that I'm a part of this.

At the moment I'm taking a forensics class...just for the hell of it. I find forensics fascinating.

ILLUSORY

Friday, January 6, 2006 3:45 PM

Hrmmm.... it seems you have a pirate problem, for a small fee i can recomend some solutions:)

I'm a supply chain consultant and some times independet contractor otherwise known as modern mercenary. Went to school for supply chain but picked up a minor in history and a lot of computer science classes. (never let people know you can fix computers......you never get anything done) Currently based in cincinnati.......but more realisticly just the airport.

As the punchline to a joke I was told when being interviewed for a consulting job.... a consltant shows up with out being asked, tells you what you already know and then expects to be paid or it.

We really aren't that bad I swear

What's this be draggin' our portside?

We got ourselves a stowaway!

*pulls on an overhanging rope until Spinhand is flopped onto the deck.*

Well, I guess we DO be a pressin' ship after all!

Mate, I be Cap'n GeeDunk Rose, and this be me ship. (I'll get back to you on the name. I haven't thought up one yet.)

And that ship over there is sailed by Capt'n Voudoo Nell. She and I be in cahoots. Together we wreck havoc across the seven seas (an' several threads) an' strike fear into the hearts o' th' weak.

Now ye can swear your loyalty to me an' me crew, join us as a pirate an' enjoy a share o' the plunder, or ye can die by my blade. It be a mite thirsty. Been a few days since I killed anyone.

What say ye?

Hehe, pirates are so cool. Anyway . . .

I'm a mild mannered secretary/bookkeeper for a welding shop by day and a writer by night. As you may notice from my signature, I just got my very first book published and never miss an opportunity to shamelessly self-promote, in hopes that writing may become my full time career.

My actual full time job isn't that bad. It's good money. It's just boring and I have to get up early. Also it's difficult to find time to write when you already work full time. But anyway, it works for now.

What a talented and diverse bunch of browncoats. Heck, we could colonize our own moon with all these skills. Me, I'm the history curator/ collections manager in a museum full of browncoats. I can provide a small arsenal of historic firearms to fend off these pesky pirates. Oh, that's right, they belong to the museum....

I work full time as a Customer Servies Manager for an Insurance Restoration Company. And if you don't know what that means (because most people don't) I comfort people who left their stove on and burnt done their house, or it flooded or a tree fell on it or some kind of damage that would make one call ones Insurance company. Then I get to fight with mortgage companies about money because of laws that require their name to be on the insurance checks and when people don't pay I'm the one that calls you everyday at work to remind you that money is owed.

I think that makes my job sound awful but mostly I just do homework. I am also a full time college student studing for a master in Mechincal Engineering and a BA in Physics. Lots of school ahead of me.

As for hobbies mostly I read, build gundums, watch movies, and play with my kitties Alpha and Omega.
