[darkage]

But my main job is that I have a clinic for psychotherapy and hypnosis.

Wow, you should offer your services to forum members (:  

There can be a few crazy treads here from time to time, hey hypnosis might work on converting ppl to the Amiga cause (: (:  

haha we dont need hypnosis to know the Amiga platform will never die!  (:

Senior security consultant in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, security consulting and training.

Hi Piru,

This is the type of job I'm trying to work my way into.  Without hijacking the thread, do you have any pointers for someone interested in your field?  I'm working on training and getting certifications now.  I hope to go live this fall / winter as a consultant with the goal of quickly turning that into a real office with full time employees servicing a large metro area.

Thanks!

Wait you went to Iraq with that belly? Shame on you :razz:

He's an officer. He's allowed to have a gut. ;P

I'm currently an on-call colorist for a no-named comic company, a freelance 3D/video artist and I also get paid to edit pr0n, writing cheesy bow-chicka-bow-wow music for it, as well.

I am a Research Physicist.
I mostly work with compound semiconductors.   Which is probably why my computers and cell phones are ancient.  I cannot bring myself to buy expensive "new" tech that is already halfway obsolete (from a research point of view) when released to the public.

I work half day in an indutrial construction company, in the technical department, doing project cost analysis, feasability and as a management advisor.

I have also recently started my own company which actually imports and sells products for fire brigades, construction companies, and mechanic workshops. I also provide an advice service for local companies that wish to start massive goods manufacturing or high volume imports.

This is a cool topic. I work as Business Director for emerging markets for an European financial services company mostly focused in Latin America & Africa for Credit Cards & Mortgage Solutions.

...but... until some months ago, my really pleasure came from creating crappy iOS games on my spare time!

- Piru's Penetration Testing sounds really cool assuming you're not the one being penetrated!

[Argo]

Hi,

Wow!!

What a job?

How did you get a job like that?

Penetration testing,

Must be interesting. How many do you check for vulnerability and assessment?

I want a job like that, I could check for penetration all day long.

Didn't you watch the movie "Sneakers"?

I'm a programmer working in health care. I use VS.NET (c#) and MSSQL primarily.

I have always been interested in computer programming. I had learned basic, 6502 & 8088 asm & turbo pascal on my own as a teenager.

I started out fresh out of HS (early 90s) working as a computer tech for a company that did pharmacy computer systems until they found out I was able to program. I started programming for them while I attended college for general studies.

I have had a few jobs outside of health care but for some strange reason I keep ending up back in health care.  I can't believe I have been at this current job for 9.5 years and at 10 years I get an extra week of vacation.

If I did something else I'd be a private investigator or bounty hunter or outlaw motorcycle biker.

I've done nothing but develop audio engines/middleware for video games for the last 20 years. I'm sure many of you have heard my work :crazy:

[itix]

Working in telecomms now (again).  Went back to school a few years back, thinking I could handle the MS IT trade, got my MCSE/MCSA (2003 server era).

Did that for about 6 months, got pissed off and came back to telecomms.  Money is better and I don't have know it all chicken**** 19 year olds fresh out of school trying to micro manage what I do.  I still do some work in the field, and build high end PC's on the side.

The IT world, especially on the MS side is completely devoid of common sense.  It's very much like a Three Stooges routine.

There's generally 2 guys that have no *******ed idea what they are doing, and they are generally your superiors.  They will screw things up horribly in a fashion that a guy even with an A+ cert wouldn't have, and pin it on you -  even after you stagger into the data center in the middle of the night to fix what they buggered up.
