Full time student, Community Assistant, soon to be investment adviser (for fun) or accountant. Or both.

Someday I'll go to work for the Air Force as a lawyer. Then be a career politician while working for the military, then I'm running for president, then I'll retire.

Aw, shove it -- you know my division doesn't control supply. Parts are assigned based purely on what's available. I can't help it if ol' 37 decided to drop the ball on their category-C diagnostics the week we ran out of new coils. You think it's easy doing what I do? I'm still working with frickin' R5 astromech droids here! Hell, half my time is spent replacing the motivators in the damn things.
And I hate to say this, but I think everyone knows tie fighter mechanics are all pilot wannabe's who couldn't make the cut and took the easy way out.
Shya right. At least I'm not the one getting blown to pieces by rebels out there. Besides, soon as I get my level 5 promotion I'll be a whole pay category higher than any of your flyboys anyway.

Collecting disability. I was a CNC machinist. Used to have a lathe and mill in my garage. I did custom
sight work on hand guns, and did work for some local pistol smiths in trade for parts and/or work done
for me on my pistols.

I search for new Jessica Alba pics on the net most days, and travel to Beverly Hills frequently to stalk her.
