My career is based on driving long distances very fast w/o getting a ticket. I do this driving because I get paid mileage while I'm out repairing computers (my job..)

I'm an expert in holography.

I'm also very good at playing piano (thanks Juilliard), running a computer consulting business, cooking, and solitaire.
 

I'm pretty much versatile.

But here's what I'm consulted for:

History
Mathematics
Philosophy with concentration in Logic
Religion
Music Theory
Computer Hardware (building and somewhat repair)
Programming in C++ and FORTRAN (If I haven't forgotten)

SOMEWHAT
Economics (a fair amount)


And of course my ever opinionated reasoned nature expressed in my love for writing . . . my thoughts. ;)

(Don't PM me asking for help! ;) I can't say I know everything.)

I'm the king of "learning how to stay in school forever". :) Either that, or "how to change your occupation/location every year and a half".

On a more serious note, I don't know if I qualify as an expert... but I'm working on my PhD in computational solid mechanics. So I've learned a lot about numerical solutions to differential equations... as well as more abstract stuff like constitutive theory and a bit of continuum mechanics.

I am a certified nursing assistant, so I am proficient at caring for the elderly. So Roger has nothing to worry about.

I'm good at swimming (competed, did instruction and a bit of coaching) and decent at Bible and scripture.
 

"I'm the king of 'learning how to stay in school forever'."

They are known as professional students. :Q

"Either that, or 'how to change your occupation/location every year and a half'."

I'm not sure about this way. Perhaps you can help me then. ;)

Well, I'm actually in my seventh year of school... three for my BS (in ME), two for my masters (also in ME at NCSU), and now i'm in my second year of my PhD. So actually, I'm ahead of schedule.... so I'm not REALLY a professional student (plus, they're paying me about $25K to do research now.... so its all relative).

The "moving" joke is because while I did my BS and MS, I took summer jobs and/or semester-long internships all over the country. So I moved a grand total of 11 times in five years.

I'm sitting here still waiting for my peach flavored baby food, I was supposed to be fed weeks ago.

Take a wild guess at what I do for a living :p

I am considered an expert in molecular biology, genomics, and the disease processes in osteoarthritis.

You're on schedule, so don't ever tease yourself again. You'll have people tagging you as Mr. Professional Student with a misleading statement. Cool, in any case. ;) :D

That's not bad since you seem to be doing just fine. I was teasing you about it.

An Mechanical engineering degree in 3 years? You, sir, are a masochist. I do hope you came into school with a bunch of credit.
