Cool thread indeed! It does seem that most people are working at IT or some other branch of technology, and I'd wager most are pretty passionate about it too :-)
Myself, I'm an instrumentation engineer working for a clinical diagnostic instrument and reagent manufacturer. My job is split: The first half is servicing and repairing the existing instruments, the bread and butter stuff you could say. But the fun part is working on the development of a new instrument for the past couple of years. I can't say too much about it now, apart from it's a blood analyzer targeted at large hospitals and labs, and specifically I write some of the firmware contained in some of the instrument's modules. Pretty interesting IMHO anyway!!
Unfortunately the Amigas don't get a look-in in that job, but they're one of many hobbies that absorb all my free time. Hobby #1 is, of course, my girlfriend, who is a classical singer and who I follow all over the place to watch perform. She's followed by my Amigas and Amiga-related projects (MP3 jukebox, web sites etc.), my car (old '95 Golf GTi), photography (Nikon D80 and all the trimmings), music (listening), drinking (German or mainland European beer) etc. etc.
