Carpenter I am.

Apparently I like to take risk. This post kind of gets me wondering if personality type has anything to do with it.

I'm a fulltime grad student working on my MPA, a graduate assistant, and I work part time as a child care worker at a residential treatment facility for delinquent teens.

I'm a full time grad student in education. And when I say full time, I mean it. In addition to student teaching about 20 hours per week, I have a full 12 credit load (full grad courses ar three credits instead of 4) and all the reading and paper writing that goes with them.

Come spring semester, I will be student teaching full time (full days at school running my own classroom), but there is less grad class time/work.

Teachers really don't get enough respect. When's the last time you read or saw something in the news about schools that was positive?

I second that. I'm also a student, currently in a teacher education program. If all goes well, I'll be a fully certified teacher in Ontario by next December.

Enjoyed othes coments.

Electronics Engineer (Masters Degree) but working for 10 years as a software programmer, making custom apps for testing and measuring things in various environments (medical, space, ...).

Presently I am cunningly disguished as a systems administrator in a pharmaceutical company.
My job is to keep the process control servers happy. And when I am not doing that, I am writing applications for automating things or helping people do their jobs more efficiently.

My boss thinks this dual occupation is great for the company. And since I am the only software engineer in this place, I can do things pretty much the way I want.

Btw, I moved this thread to the conversation, but left a redirect in the general forum.
