Default What do you do for a living?

Without going into too much detail..., what do you do for a living and if your in school what are you taking? I have noticed a lot of IT people...,

I will start. I have worked for the provincial government for over 17 years and am head of web services for two ministries and their supporting branches. I also own my own software company where I build digital communications and GPS tracking software for long haul trucking, and local delivery/courier companies. Basically make your cell phone work like a PC (not a smart phone, any cell phone).

Funny most of the people I have met are either in school or in IT. Just want to see if there is a common denominator.

I work for a market research company which deals with customer/employee satisfaction surveys for companies like American Airlines, Delta Hotels and Rocky Mountain Railways as a data analyst.

Produce buyer and sales.
We bring in produce from other parts of the world and sell it to some of the smaller stores around Vancouver, on the island, and as far east as Toronto/Montreal.

I'm also the chairman of the safety committee
