I collect overdue payments for my boss. Usually it is unpaid gambling debts or unpaid loans. I usually work from 8:00pm - 4:00 am with a group of 2 other guys. Sometimes we have to get rough, but most of them time the people we get the money from are "understanding".

Small company, so my job description is kinda all encompassing. If it involves electricity it falls in my lap.

sums up my job, except the company is quite a bit larger(2 corporate offices, multiple processing plants, remote sales offices, etc. etc.). I don't fix coffee makers though. :p

My main job is coaching a swim team. I have the 13-18 year olds, so I get to see their smiling "i hate everyone except my best friend and boyfriend" faces every night for 2 hours. During the day i teach swim lessons to kids and occasionally work in the weight room if they need someone to assist or give an intro tour.

My official title is Reporting & Decision Support Data Analyst, I take the information from our in-house databases and manipulate it using Access, Crystal Reports, & SPSS into reports that our upper execs can understand (which is usually pretty little graphs with big words and lots of color) :D I also run monthly, quarterly and yearly budget projections. I work for a non-profit organization that helps needy families attain subsidies to pay for childcare. We are funded by our local and federal government.

Student now. I could say I'm between jobs though. I (mainly) built new PCs at a local computer store before college, and next year I'll hopefully land a co-op CS job.

I work at a hospital as a PACS administrator. I take care of the digital imaging system for radiology. Involves Unix/Windows/Network administration along with supporting all of the users/doctors, making sure the modality machines can send images out....etc. Pretty interesting position. Healthcare IT is a good place to be!
