Accountant that looks at the numbers. Most of the time they add up (except for ENRON) ...... thank god I wasn't a part of that mess. Paying you your individual dive habit isn't two bad, but then add in one exwife, one current wife, two kids and a son-in-law that want you to pay for everything ...... you need help .... one time I left a note on the kitchen table ...... have gone to California be back later.

I work in the advertising agency biz on a major automotive account as a professional babysitter (clients, creative team, bosses, etc.). I've been told most people would give their right arm to have my job, except I don't need a third arm, so that's not a good trade for me. Besides, most days, I love my job. What's not to love: I don't have to play grown-up dress-up to come to work, I don't necessarily have to sit in my chair at my desk all day, sometimes I even get to go out and shoot TV commercials or print ads, but best of all, everyday is a new day with new experiences, so it's hard to be bored (if I do get bored, I jump on SB and have day-long entertainment revolving around my favourite thing in life!).

The job sorta pays for diving, but not enough, so I went and got myself a lovely boyfriend who owns a dive shop! LOL OK, that's not how it went: I happened to meet him in his shop, and I *do* work for air: I DM and help out in the shop on weekends. My brother calls me a 'dive ho' and is actively searching for ways to become one himself.

WC, I too am always interested in what people do for a living and what they do to support their diving addiction: it's amazing how varied it is. There's a whole big world out there that my high school guidance counsellor clearly didn't know about!! (I know, I know, I should get over it and forgive the poor guy after all these years...high school *is* a dim distant memory for me after all; heck, university is a distant memory too! LOL)

I'm a technology type person. My background is in mail systems, end user education, solution design and system deployment.

Right now, I do 1st, 2nd and 3rd level support for all the technology on a cruise ship. I'm covering someone else's run right now, but in a week or so I'll be back on my ship. It puts me in Cayman once a week and in Cozumel every other week and gives me a crew discount diving in those places. I generally dive about 6 tanks every two weeks....definately a perk to the job

My dream job? Who knows....I've got a couple things in my head. I really enjoy being the point person in solution design... (speaks to the client re: the business problem, does the analysis and drafts a solution....then pulls the right folks together to put it together)

I'd also like to do something in the education system. There's so much money being poored into our school systems to put technology in the classrooms and soooo many teachers who don't know what to do with it. Developing some kind of curriculum for teachers would be a fun project.
