What do you do in real life? (A Noncontroversial Time Waster)

[ErikMynhier]

Just curious what people do for a living away from this game. And also I though it might be nice to have a low sodium thread.


I'm a former nurse turned undertaker (embalmer/cremator/funeral director).

I currently work in Pharmaceuticals but I don't find it interesting at all so I am looking for something new and exciting to do. :3

I work at General motors international and domestic parts operations.

I disabled from a combo of severe endometriosis and a spinal thing that I don't have a diagnoses for yet so I'm usually just at home all day. I'm hoping to go to school to study to be a veterinary technician with a specialization in avian care once I can sit and stand again.

Ballistic Scientist, just start my PhD not long ago, doing a PhD partly because I couldn't get a job :P

I know them feels. Exactly why I did a PhD I'm a neuroscientist turned bioinformatician, working as a Parkinson's disease researcher. The best thing about science is how mobile it is. It allowed me to move back to Japan ^.^

I'm a research geneticist that mainly does bioinformatics types of projects (computer analysis instead of "wet lab"). Currently I have two jobs in that field (one full time, one part time at home), so I really don't have as much time for miscellaneous grinding as I'd like.

Have you always been dry lab? I used to be wet lab but now I'm purely computational and the switch has been pretty rough XD

Nah, my undergrad degree was purely wet lab oriented, and I did my PhD as a wet lab person.. Asked my PI if I could take some programming courses for fun (long time linux hobbiest), and got introduced to the world of bioinformatics. I actually applied to do a master's in bioinformatics and was told it'd be a bad fit since I didn't have a CS degree. I still do get to do some wet lab things from time to time, which can be nice.
