Besides playing AH, we all should have a "real" life out side of the game. What do you do for a living. I am a rangeland ecologist. i have my own consultant business, Prairie Resources Solution

Small world. My brother is at this very moment finishing up some rangeland management courses as a part of his environmental planning degree at Humboldt (I think that's the right terminology, with what he's learning I often mix one up with another).
I'm a CAD-monkey. I have an AA in CADD (computer aided drafting & design). In a nutshell: I draw arcs, lines and circles on a computer all day. I've been employed for about six years now as a Landscape Architectural Drafter and Designer, mostly doing planting and irrigation layouts for commercial projects and an occasional residence (most residences hire a landscaper/gardener who does design-build, most homeowners will hire us only if city code/ordinance requires a licensed landscape architect to sign off on some plans or if they have the money to burn (this is So-Cal)). It's an odd profession, to be good you need to be fast and know as much about what your drafting as a fully licensed architect/engineer. You could also be drafting planting and irrigation layouts at one job and be drafting airplane parts or engines at another drafting job/company. It's a good career I recommend for those that might be interested in drafting (you do sit a computer almost every day just drafting) since if you're not interested in drafting something one day you can find a new job drafting something completely different the next.
