artist/musician. i stay broke, but the dream is well worth it. i do pencil portraits, paint and play rock n roll and metal. i hope one day that people will see that art and music are neccesary for a healthy soul and a better society. i hope that my art will help people see beyond the material. i wish people in our modern world seen art and music as a good career choice, but today, only the material and money matter. being happy doesnt come in to play if it doesnt make gobs of money.

Good for you. The arts bring out the best in us, or, as Lincoln said, "the better Angels". My wife and I go to a lot of art shows, theater, occasional live music, movies, and she is an artist herself and loves to paint and create jewelry. For awhile I was a videomaker and if I had to do it over again I'd have gone into production of some kind. Probably editing. We have world class museums in Chicago that we love wondering thru.

We also have worse violence then many 3rd world countries and Ive been a Policeman in it for 3 decades. As a kid I thought it would be fulfilling work but the truth is it isnt while the arts have always been. Dont ever give up your dream. We gave my kid the gift of music and he still plays piano even tho he is in USAF right now. We try to support the smaller music and acting venues and enjoy the energy brought to the stage by youngsters just starting out with their dream.

Ok short story what is it that you do?

Short story: I develop the corporate pd process and supporting software tools for vehicle ( with support for unit ) programs - with my area of focus being ps-psc. I also go out and teach the engineering and finance staff how to follow that process and use those tools. It's a niche role but my eng- biz background makes me uniquely suited. The weasel part: process almost always involves the difficult art of manipulating behavior. This is the dark side.

Full time computer nerd, part time musician and enjoying life.

Did 19 years in the Royal Navy, went to IBM (actually got headhunted), then emigrated to the USA, where I now work for MCCS (Marine Corps Community Service) as a system/network administrator. Use a lot of cutting edge equipment to fulfil my role, enjoy doing so and will probably retire via this job.

Ah, I have a riddle.

My work involves math and numbers and the worse I do for my employer, the more money I make.
