work

Im 24 and have seen more of the world than many people my age. my job has been to get out of cheeseland and do more. ive traveled for the past nine years and so far my favorite place is Rome. The work that pays me is a bank teller. i have a degree in finance, but you gotta start somewhere. I will be taking a month off in february to be a volunteer for the 2006 winter games. my "job" press assistant.

I'm the Executive Assistant (whatever that means) at a design company. We do commercials, advertising, professional photography, and all that stuff. I travel a lot under business. My wife travels between offices in NYC and Chicago each week. She's an attorney.

I am a business consultant for a civil engineering software firm who has broadened it's horizons in favor of a more "client-centric" view of the world...hence this job and a return to travel.

What do you do?

I just stumbled across this site recently after reading about that $1.86 fare recently.

Anyway, I'm an air traffic controller at Washington ARTCC. I was a controller in the Navy for about 10 yrs and worked at a contract tower in Newburg, NY for a little while before joining the FAA. I don't fly alot but I do watch people fly everyday...

I work for a public-sector retirement plan, and travel around to speak with employees and decision-makers (lots of politicians).

I work for a major aerospace company in So Cal in the IT services organization. Been here for almost 19 years! I started when I was just a toddler.

Also just completed my BS degree at the University of Redlands in Business and Management. I formally graduate on May 28th! My goal was to obtain my bachelors degree by age 40....I just barely made it!

Sculptor and stone carver. Mostly architectural work- custom fireplaces, fountains, some public sculpture, and lots of gargoyles (hence the handle). I have a studio near Chicago for my work in domestic limestones, and I work in Italy (I originally apprenticed there) on the projects which require marble or European limestone. (choice of material is dependant on the style, taste of the client, technical requirements of the project, etc.) Usually make about 5 round trips a year, plus occasional trips to client sites and the like.

Now if only all my stone and marble suppliers would take credit cards, I could collect a LOT more miles!
