I took this semester off, it's my first. Right now I'm a Exercise Specialist and Massage Cordinator for Merryill Lynch. It's a pimp job. I hang out in our Gym all day, but it ends in may with the end of the spring term.

My other profession, I'm that guy who takes forever to get through college. I'm in no hurry.

Full time first year law school student.

Yep, the schools pretty much mandate that we can't work our first year. Well they can't make us NOT work, but let's just say when I wrote them an email to ask if it was absolutely not allowed or just discouraged, i got a VERY discouraging email.
I think the ABA (American Bar Association) dicates that we can't work more than 20 hours a week at any point in time during law school. But I don't think that's strictly enforced.

Instead of having a "real" job, i sell stuff on eBay. Helps give me a little extra cash. It's pretty easy, it doesn't take up large chunks of my time, it works around my schedule, and the post office is two blocks from my school. Pretty convenient!

I am an accountant (that's my title)--- more specifically I do the cost accounting and inventory control for a manufacturing company.

My degrees are in finance-not accounting!!! I really enjoy the inventory control part of my job--costing is okay too-- but I would not want the typical job of an accountant. I have moments my boss thinks I am nutty--I have to think thru which way a debit or credit hits different accounts. I did not pay too close to those things in school-- the big picture is more my thing!!!

The ABA mandates you can't work more than 20 hours. LSU takes it one step further and forbids first year students from working. It takes a special hardship excuse to be able to hold a job. Although, there's a girl in my class who's on the TV news, and she got to keep her job, I guess because it was such a cool job. I dunno.

We're required to sign something saying that we don't have a job as part of our honor code, and being found in violation is pretty serious, I think. Of course, my school is pretty assy....

When I was in law school (DAMN, why did I go to law school

) they always just said that there is an ABA rule that you can't work during the first year. Because I'm a lazy ass and I don't like to work, I never questioned it and lived on my student loan money (which was more than enough b/c of cheap tuition). Really, I don't think it's a bad policy because your grades first year are REALLY important if you want to make law review.

Yeah, well that's already shot to hell for me - the candyasses are going to cling desperately to the top 10%, and I don't really want to give up my life like they do, so I've just got to get used to being in the top 33%. I'm at a crappy school in the South, so its not like I'd be getting a job anywhere but Louisiana, anyway. And down here (moreso than other places) its all about who your daddy is and what Mardi Gras Krewes you belong to, so screw it. I just hate the fact that I don't even have the option, should I want to work.

I am a Finance major in my Senior year (not graduating until December though). I have started studying for the LSAT because I am "hoping" to attend Law School in the fall of 2004.

I work at Guaranty Bank as a personal banker when I feel like it. lol

I have been volunteering at Children's Hospital of Milwaukee and it's a pretty stellar thing. It also goes along with philanthropy events that I have been working on with many other guys that are an "interest group," soon to be a colony of a well known national fraternity. (Phi Sigma Delta has for the most part become defunct - it's kind of a merger thing, hard to explain but you'll all learn about it in due time.)

I am a project engineer for a natural gas company in Denver.

Specifically my region is North Eastern Wyoming where I manage projects to install gathering systems for the Powder River Coal Bed Methane play.

I am a chemist at an army weapons neutralization facility. To put that in English, I am working on a project to assist in the destruction of chemical warfare agents!!
