What do you do?

Seriously, lots of smart people here! I knew swimmers were cool. Steph, that is awesome. I think being a pastry chef would be very cool, dangerous but cool. I am a paralegal. I hate it. I am going to start on my masters in education this fall, need to get my act together on that. Then hopefully I'll teach 1st grade. (Maybe Kindergarten, maybe 2nd ... after that they get too old! ;) )

Wow, there are some really smart (or smart-sounding) people here. I'm a bureaucratic archaeologist. Both my degrees (BA/MA) are in anthropology/archaeology, but I don't get out in the field much. I review projects for the Arizona Department of Transportation to ensure compliance with various state and federal historic preservation laws. Kae

Geek is the new cool! Seriously!

Jim you are the best math teacher ever!!! I'm only two tests away from actually passing my math class this semester (I'll e-mail you and tell you how I actually do...hoping for a C or better) and I owe it all to you! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!

I'm currently working as an analytical chemist.....it's rather surprising given the fact that I found chemistry somewhat boring in school ;)

Yet another IT person. Been programming in the banking industry for 11 years. I work as a consultant for one of the two big banks here in Charlotte.

I'm a certified dental assistant 3 days a week & a substitute teacher on the other 2 days. Not as exciting as most of your careers. What a diverse & interesting group of people we have here! Swimmers are defintely not boring! Fun reading.

I am the town geek.....kinda like the village idiot....only an extreme geek as well.....but like Anthony Micheal Hall's Character from Breakfast club, I am hoping one day to be king of the geeks.....or perhaps "Lord of the Geeks"....(kinda like Lord of the rings only geeks instead of rings).....then I would have some prominence amongst the ever growing geek community anyway. Actually I am a Mathematics Professor.....same difference right? Newmastersswimmer
