    So I'm sitting here at work... distracted. I'm not sure if this violates any kind of forum guidelines or not, and if it does, I'm sure the thread will be addressed accordingly. That being said... I'm curious: What do you, beloved fellow members of EC, do? (like what do you do for work, what's your career, what do you study)... I'm just curious 'cuz we're from all over and I'm nosy :icon_bigg.

    So far so good! I didn't put what I do:

    I'm a linguist in every sense of the word (translator/interpreter, etc). I'm going to enroll once again in a college to study landscape design and architecture for the hell of it!

    Haha... there's nothing simple about being a mechanic. I tried registering in mechanic courses to do my own maintenance on my car and motorcycle and had to drop out of both cuz I had no idea what the hell was going on.

    I'm still in high school, but I'll probably study politics in the UK, preferable LSE. I might stray off and go into acting, theatre, etc... if auditions are successful, if not then I would like stay and politics and one day become a Prime Minister/President/World leader and lead some kind of global revolution.

    I figured, lol... hence why I don't watch CSI. I used to work in the legal field and know many attorneys and when they found out about my obsession with SVU, they didn't hesitate to ruin that for me either...

    Currently finishing up a court reporting certification. I'm a voice writer, which means I take down court cases, legal proceedings and depositions by means of a voice mask. My software then takes the words I speak and puts them into an artificial intelligence CAT system. The other part of the job is doing transcripts of those proceedings for lawyers and other parties.

    Well, I'm a student. When I start specialising more, I intend to go into philosophy. Not sure which area yet, but I'm particularly interested in political philosophy and linguistic philosophy.

    I am currently unemployed, but I've dreamed of being a Veterinarian since I was about 8. I plan to start by becoming a Vet Tech, first, and moving up from there.

    I'm a student, mostly majoring in English. I'm probably going to change my major to art though, because I want to try and get into animation as a possible career.
