I'm a part time programmer for a local ISP.  Mostly server side stuff, like integrating databases with web forms or writing PHP scripts to generate reports or do some sort of data transformation.  On very rare occasions I get opportunities to write C programs to handle things on the server.

I'm part time but actually work about 30 hours a week.  When I'm not there I try to feign being busy as a Ph.D graduate student doing research, but I no longer have an assistantship and am usually too tired to really get anything done there.

Never seen it, but making things has always been a passion for me.

Tech support for a small software company. I like where I work but it can get kind of intense. We did over $1million in business last year and we're a company of no more than 20 people, with about 80? clients.

Being a student gives me 80 euros a week for groceries, beer, and games.

No need to get a job as of yet.

Hematology resident. In two months I end my hospital rotations and enter my department proper. The next year I'll spend half at cytometry and half at clinical hematooncology.

Kitchen slave. Before that, bookstore slave. Before that, warehoue slave for a crooked Christian charity that specialized in stripping anyone they encounter of any shred of dignity, and then giving them the Gospel.

Jack of all trades, master of none, in the field of IT.  Cabling, PC building, de-virusing, de-PEBCAKing, programming, scripting, markuping, data analysis (and entry, where required!) and a bit of graphical design on the side (though that's more out of necessity than due to any artistic skill).

If you want an example, this last week I...  oh dear, I wasted a whole week on things that weren't actually important.  Never mind.
