What do you do ?

[pierlux]

Lab technician at the Department of Biochemical Sciences of the "Sapienza" University of Rome, Italy.


Age: 49.


I am interested in science & technology in general, and - apart from photography - astrophysics and cosmology in particular. And I love music.


Concerning photography, I am (unfortunately) more interested in the technical aspects of it rather than the artistic side, that's why I repute myself a poor photographer: banal subjects and ineffective and dull composition, although shooting since 1968, when my parents bought me my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic: fixed focus, fixed aperture, fixed shutter speed, this one. But I enjoy shooting, having a lot of fun with it.


I am severely affected by the "L-disease" and can confirm it is incurable. Acute symptoms can be only soothed by L-glass, but my budget is limited so my health is constantly deteriorating... I have tried to obtain financial support for therapeutic pharmalenses by my medical insurance, I even produced Dr. Bryan's claims to document my application, but they say they do not cover such kind of pharmacological treatment... and in the meantime my neurons are degenerating...

I am nicely retired from working for the Federal government and military service. I am absoutely enjoying every minute of it - retirement that is.

[Jon Ruyle]

I'm on my third or fourth career, depending on whether you count those that don't pay anything. I got a math degree, then was a software engineer during the boom. Then I quit to go to medical school. Then I dropped out of medical school. Then I took care of my two kids (then a 6 month old boy and 3 year old girl) and taught math part time. I'll be starting full-time teaching in the fall.


In my spare time I write, take pictures, and look through telescopes.


School was expensive. While an undergrad, I got a letter from this guy with a little software company that said he was looking for guys like me to work for him, but I ignored it because I was too interested in school. The guy's name: Bill Gates. (And of course, the little company was Microsoft.)

That's really unfortunate Jon...I wanna major in math too! hehe

[Garrett-Grimsley]

No job, yet. [H]


I'm a Senior in High School and just turned 17 last week. I'm planning on staying with my parents while I go to college to have some financial ease, then go on from there.
