How did you get into that? I would absolutely love to do that...

well, Ive been shooting since jr high... up until a few years ago it was really just a hobby -- and I concentrated on the modeling side of it. then I was approached to do some sports on the local level, and have been doing that ever since. now I range over most of the east coast of FL from the keys to Cocoa. Havent hit big time yet, but it pays the bills.

I have to say it isnt what I want to be doing. I would have been in aerospace by now if my dad hadnt had a stroke in my 2nd year of college... the stress from that took me from a 3.3gpa to a 2.3 in a single semester -- after that I had to take off to help out. I still study though (people look at me strangely when the see the books I read to pass time), and hope to get back in eventually.

Pharmacy Techinican at a hospital.

I do a lot of things. I enter the physicians written orders into a computer system which then spews out print outs of stuff I either need to load to a machine out on the floor or in the IV room. If it's the IV room it can be anything as easy as slapping a lable on a bag to combining multiple ingredients together in the right proportions. I also ocassionally compound/repackage stuff that isn't an IV, usually then it would be something oral or topical.

Since I work nights I get to be a bit of a "Jack of All Trades" if I want things to go as smoothly as possible. This means I am sort of the default fix-it guy for the minor and moderate techical problems our scanners, printers, computers, Pyxis (computerized medication despensing) machines develope.

I used to be in the US Navy. I was in for 6 years and have been out since 1994. Which of course means I am also a "geezer"

If I'd stayed in the Navy I would have been eligible to take my (early) 20 year retirement in 2008 and still be under the age of 40.

That's very, very cool. My grandfather was the chief photographer of the New York Daily News for about 35 years, and managed to get some absolutely incredible pictures over the years. I've always wanted to do that--when I was growing up, we actually had a dark room in the basement. I wish I'd learned more about it then when we did have that dark room...would've been very cool.

I hope you do get back into that field if it's what you really want to do. I know how hard it is to know what you want and not quite be able to get to it. I also must say that I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your dad. I hope he's recovered completely or, if still recouperating, that he's recovering well.

I'm a high school student, and volunteer at the Hospital my dad works at on the weekends. Pushing pills in the pharmacy isn't exciting work, but it gets you the community service hours needed for Florida's Bright Futures scholarship

6th Form student, soon to become (hopefully) a university student. Currently studying biology, chemistry, maths and physics, hoping to do biology at uni.

Got a small job at a Vets as a "Veterinary assisstant" which just means i'm a nurse but without qualifications. Hoping to be a vet, but realised after first batch of AS results that i wouldn't get straight in to Veterinary Medicine degree, so i'm trying to go post grad. People tell me i'm crazy and i pretty much agree, but it what i want to do, so i might as well try.

Bicycle service and sales, fun job, but it would be better without all the asshole customers. Pays my tuition and I get to buy everything at store cost so it's all worth it in the end.
