What do you do for a living ?
 

No doubt this has been discussed before and I have used the searchfunction but got no satisfying answers.

I would like to know what you guys here on MHNL do for a living or are studying to become.

Myself I should have started my lawstudies this year but I postponed it because I wasnt sure what I wanted to do jobwise in the future. I have thought alot and still arent sure what I want to do but Im leaning towards studying law here in Sweden.

Re: What do you do for a living ?
 

MD if I ever get into medical school....for now it's just studying and NOT playing poker. Ha.

Re: What do you do for a living ?
 

Just me and AZK who are doing anything except playing poker? :>

right now i'm in madrid doing a research project on gay marriage in spain and constitutional law. after that, i'm going into consulting. probably law school after that. dammit no time for professional poker!!!

Re: What do you do for a living ?
 

Student, going for degree in management, then the good ol' MBA. Although I did work at TCBY for a year before I quit in july to play more poker.

Re: What do you do for a living ?
 

Studying law last year here in Finland. Income comes from poker.

Re: What do you do for a living ?
 

I work for a drug co. doing security and regulatory compliance. I basically make sure the employees don't steal and then make sure the co. doens't break any OSHA, DOT, DEA laws.

BUT...big layoffs here over the last week. They eliminated the whole finance and customer service departments totalling 35 or so people. They are consolidating deptartments in corporate. Phaseout to be complete by years' end. I believe my department is next. I've been here just under 9 years, have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Thank god for poker or else I'd be a stressbasket right now. If I do lose my job I'll probably try playing for a living for awhile and see how it goes (save that topic for another time [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

I think I'm the only 2+2er with some kind of medical degree. I'm an Athletic Trainer. NOT a gym teacher, NOT a personal trainer, NOT a physical therapist. For those who don't know, an Athletic Trainer is the guy on tv that runs onto the field when players get injured and take care of them on a daily basis.

Wow, this is so not even close. Matt Flynn is a doctor. And let's guess what surfdoc's profession is... I'm sure there are tons of others.

Does it suck when you have to 'work out' a guy's groin pull? Cause I saw some dude on TV working on Deion Sanders a few years ago and figured that must be the worst job in the world.

depends. I worked briefly with the NFL and will never do it again. They work 90 hr weeks and rarely get even a day off while traveling a ton. I work at a high school avging 32 hrs/week traveling only with varsity football 5 times/year and make about the same as the assistant for the Patriots.

"working out" a groin pull is what massage therapists do. If Deion Sanders asked me to I'd kick him in the balls and quit.

I feel a little weird discussing other people, but since my knowledge only comes from reading these boards, I guess it's okay. Anyways, MF is a dermatologist and surfdoc works in an ER, but I'm not sure what his specialty is.

I'm guessing he's and ER doctor. Otherwise he'd have to be a radiologist.

philosophy and maybe minor in else.

Used to be math, but was too time consuming, then switched to finance, that was too boring.

I dunno what sponge you speak of, but usually interns and students are the waterboys. One of the big reasons an internship in pro sports blows.

Don't know where you go to school... But my math courses (pure math) were the most time consuming in undergrad.

Medical School.

I go to about 10% of classes. The other 90% I download the recordings and listen to them at 1.5x the speed to increase the efficiency of my time.

Previously I was a health care consultant before I got bored.
