    Since leaving uni with a degree in English Lit and Film studies I've failed to ever take a job which reflects even a modicum of my personal interests.

    This is my life!

    Exact same thing over here. BS in Film and English and no job has been even remotely related. i work in the white pages of a big phonebook publisher (probably making the phonebooks you guys have lying around) and bartend on the weekends at an outdoor, cook your own restaruant. i do some unpaid freelance writing on the side and seriously need to reevaluate what's more important job or happy. Am working on big things for 07 though (who ain't related).

    Ok, you will have to break this down for me. Why would someone not just grill out at home if they were going to cook it themselves?

    There's a restaurant by my house that specializes in "Steak on a stone", in which they deliver a hot stone to your table and you cook your steak on it. My wife an I are always like "If I wanted to cook my own steak, I'd do it at home on the grill...."

    Because this place is absolutely ridiculous. It's not like going to a restaraunt and being ignored for the first 10 minutes you sit down until your server finally shows up with two glasses of iceless water. The whole thing is an experience. Music, fun people who want you to have a great time, jokes, pranks, big grills, and more bachelorette parties than i even know what to do with.

    As for the whole grilling thing, good luck getting alligator or wild boar kabobs in Pennsylvania without us.

    There's two locations, one at the foot of a ski mountain and the other tucked away in the woods along a creek. They are scenic and a hell of a lot of fun. In the winter time one of the location is set up for indoor with an indoor grill and a nice big bar. We do a campfire out back and people take their drinks outside and sit around the fire.

    List of OTHER bars that have campfires for their clientele` and haven't had a lawsuit or injury in the last 15 years........?

    Yeah I think there comes a time when you have to either go for it or drop the idea. I guess you could call music blogging unpaid writing in the loosest sense of the term but I understand that it's extremely far from a professional journalism standard and I'm also not going to see any income from it anytime soon (unless you count getting sent lots of shit r&b group's cds for free as an income). However it helps keep me sane and balances out the dulling effect of my reasonably well paid but utterly uninteresting job.

    The problem was always that without following that kind of degree up with a masters there seemed very little direction to take it in. Plus I was/am a pretty lazy individual in pushing for these type of things.

    I've reached the point where it would be very difficult to start over in a chosen field and maintain my home/lifestyle/debt repayments. However, if the chance came along I'd be sorely tempted to go for it so good luck in your plans.

    Ok...

    so far, I think "bartender" (though mostly PT) seems to be the most frequent profession listed. We have at least two former/current personal investigators. Bunch of tech and media professionals. At least two professional cooks/chefs.

    Curious if we have any medical professionals? Doctors, nurses, dentists, opthamologists, etc.?

    And we must have at least one accountant in the house, no?

    Haha, not mad...you'd be surprised how many times i've had to answer that question in the last three years. Hopped into defend the bar mode...on the gills, it's a good time. The food is great and so is the atmosphere, best job i've ever had.

    Present.

    I kinda fell into accounting after majoring in marketing at UT. Been at it for over a decade now.

    It helps ensure that my path of journalism remains as from-the-hip as possible.

    I'm Director of New Product Development for a large Environmental/Safety Co. which are fancy words for "inventor". Most of my inventions are used in the Chemical Industry but my latest one will hopefully be seen by all of you in the near future. I just received a patent for my idea called "Invisible Sign" which is only visible when wet and provides non-slip properties to cut down on "slips and falls". Next time this year if you're running into a store, Amusement Park, Stadium, etc. in the rain you might see this.....
























    Oh yeah....I sell vinyl on ebay and have the Rockadelic label to keep me busy when I'm not raising two pain in the ass teen-age girls!!
