It's been several years since I made one of these threads, and there are a lot of new people I don't know now.

I'm about to graduate college with an Econ/Finance degree and am contemplating what do to do next. Currently intern for an investment firm, work as a receiver at a grocery store, and umpire high school and college baseball.

On the side I make hiphop/pop beats, play keyboards in a band, play baseball, workout, and play poker at casinos.

Wat da hell do you people do with your lives?
 
Jobs:

--Adjunct English Instructor at Long Beach City College. I teach two sections of Composition there. Absolutely love it compared to when I taught at CSULB.

--Receiver/Vitaminss Clerk at Sprout's. I help people poop and tell dirty jokes with truck drivers.

Hobbies:

--Beer. Brewing and consuming

--Hiking (mostly only during summer)

--I've recently started cooking a lot more because my girlfriend never cooks. I actually really like it and find it to be very therapeutic

--Recently started going back to the gym
 
I'm a PhD candidate in English and American literature at Boston University, and a teaching fellow for the English and writing programs. The course I'm teaching next semester is going to be on the American Gothic.

On the side, I read all the shit I don't have time to in class in order to try and broaden my interests and make myself more assimilable to various teaching positions in the future.

I also play guitar, although not as much as I used to; but I love it, and try to pick it up once every day.

...

Mike, do you sell/ship any of your brews?
 
Just graduated with my Bachelor's in English/minor in History.

For the summer I'm working for my dad, mostly carpentry, some auto repair. Kind of a handyman/odd jobs position, doing the stuff he doesn't have time to do since he is busy running his business.

I play guitar pretty often. Now that I've graduated I've been cruising through some novels, which is nice. I also like to work out, and occasionally I'll run. Biking is awesome too. I'm also in the process of building a lute, I'm not very far along though.

Soon I'll have the fun hobby of paying off my student loans.
 
Work: Currently a CSA for Lowe's.

School: Wrapping up my AA this semester, waiting for all my paperwork to process to transfer to the ECU Psych department.

Hobbies: Discussions with Patrick :cool:

Seriously though, I barely have the time to do any "hobbies" right now, between work/school/family. Constant battle for the little time I have for me between reading books, keeping current on news, and playing the occasional game on Madden or MW3.
 
Work/school:

Phone jockey "selling" tickets for various performing arts, sports teams and sporting events around the US. I'm also attending college part time and working towards a graphic design associate's degree. Oh yeah, and full time parent. :)

Hobbies:

I love to shop and find a great thrill when encountered with bargains. I enjoy going for walks at a few locals parks/woodland areas. I also enjoy constantly discovering "new" music, watching shitty horror movies and hanging out with my son, family, friends and boyfriend. My interests outside of metal are fairly normal.
 
Work: I'm a nanny and work at Guitar Center.
School: Uhh... Community College? Haha.
Hobbies: My hobbies are kind of lame. I play violin and do girly things like shopping.
