I had no idea there was this much diversity on this forum. truely interesting. I have a multi-part job. I am the Product Information Manager for Personnel, the P.I.M.P. (I prefer that to Product Training Specialist!) for The Cutler's Cupboard, a four store chain of specialty cutlery stores, (we are an authorized Spyderco dealer, naturally!). Basically, that means I do all the product training for all of our staff. I am also a psuedo-manager, basically an assistant manager at any of the stores I'm in at the time if the actual manager isn't there. And, I do sales and display making in my store in Grossmont Center, La Mesa, CA. (shameless plug) I'm pursuing my batchelor's in Business Admin. I figure we need just as many business majors as we have lawyers.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Its all fun and games til somebody loses an eye, then its fun annd games you can't see.

Spent the last 8 years as General Manager of an Apple Computer Dealer (with 8 stores).

Now running my own email-newsletter business (http://www.enews.com.au)

What a interesting group we've got here.

Up until November 16th, I would have said BurgerKing slave, but currently unemployed and broke!

I started shopping in mid-november, so I was done shopping with my last $50 to myself.

Current source of income is Basketball scorekeeping, 3rd yr doing it...

Grade 12, planning on a career in Aviation Mechanical Engineering since Grade7, and still working towards it. $80K/yr starting wage(canadian funds) when I get it... SFO here I come.

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

High school teacher of biology.

Someone else suggested a Toad to dissect toads, how about a mouse to dissect mice or even ocelot to dissect......

My EDC is a cricket, I don't dissect locusts but do use it on a daily basis.

RYAN,

Wow, what a diverse bunch of nuts.
(Spydie nuts, that is.)

I work for a company that sells industrial supplies to machine shops and manufacturing plants. Used to be a machinist but the company that I worked for moved the plant to Tenesee and I was not invited to move with them.(Wouldn't have wanted to leave Colorado anyway.)
