Stemming out of curiosity like all polls usually do I inquire what is your bread and butter in life? If you are a student and will become something, that is your bread and butter to be. Someone may have many bread and butters in which case one can explain the situation into detail or less into detail and vote one of those.

The vote itself is rather artificial and definitely some overlapping of options so would be nice if people would explain a bit if they so wish. We seem to have cooks, musicians, computer pine martens, medical people, window people, scientists...but do we have lawyers, farmers, plummers, waitresses, sea captains, politicians?

well i am a cook (working in a restaurant currently) but i am also a student in the Physics department in the University of Thessaloniki.

i used to be a student there but decided to follow my true love in life which is cooking.So i moved in Athens and went to a school here.

I am still enlisted in the university and i can always study and pass a few lessons from time to time (which i really never do).

Currently working in a restaurant but after i gather some experience i think i will try working abroad for a season or two...

My dream in life is to go to Antarctica and now that i won't get my degree in Physics (don't tell my mother i said so) i will try to work there as a cook.I check frequently the job vacancies in the BAS (British Antarctic Survey) or similar expeditional groups in case they need one..

if you have a friend there i would appreciate the help ..... :)

that's it for me

Kaikitsune-san you didn't tell us for yourself ....

I put teacher, as that is currently what I do when I am employed, and it is the general path that I am moving towards.

I am a PhD student at the University of Auckland, doing a thesis on amateur sumo and globalization. I have a background in Asian History (mostly modern and contemporary Japanese history) and Japanese language.

In addition to my studies, I have worked for the past 4 years or so as a tutor, marker and guest lecturer on Japanese culture, history and generally on Asian Studies in my department's courses. I have also been working at this university for the past 3 years in the Student Learing Centre, a unit that assists students with improving their academic and personal skills so that they can succeed at university and achieve their academic potential.

So, with that background, i am currently teaching, and moving towards a career (most probably) as a tutor or lecturer, either in my own discipline or in learning related work.

Scientist at Uni (assistant), hoping to be a full-fledged prof one day. Materials science, cehmical engineering approach. Work with students also - lab work, help with graduation thesis...

Occasional translation work if I need extra money - not for some time now.

Medicine. Medical school student. Currently working at virology for the summer getting familiar with those little bastards. In the future I want to treat people well with needles, drugs, maneuvres, ketaguri and sharp diagnostics. Also I want to know all about human body and how it works and doesn't work and why on earth, why in space? What is the essence of Azuma's shoulder and why fat jeopardises health often? So many questions and interactions. Human body is worth a lifetime of curiosity.

Last time we had this discussion I was one of a very few manual workers on the forum,will it be different this time-

Oh Im a self employed window cleaner,its my own business but since I'm only 5.3 tall its not the ideal job but it keeps food on the table.

My field is a consultancy on regional development and strategical planning as I'm the PhD student of regional and political geography. So not CEO right now (Holiday feeling...)

I am currently taking general college courses needed to gain entry into the veterinary medicine program at North Carolina State University. It will be another 2-2.5 years before I will actually be able to call myself a "vet-med student."

Medicine student. In future I want to do something around surgery... (Have you ever made a hysterectomy in rat ;)

God, I don't know already. B.Sc in Computer Sciences is what I have, hoping to make it M.Sc at least some day (sooner or later - I don't know). Currently the plan seems to be to find a niche where I can work as a programmer/developer/whatever. Will the niche be found? I'm not sure.

I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on TV...

OK, actually I am a lawyer. You can throw eggs at me now...

For the sake of specificity, I'm a transactional lawyer - lender-side financial institutions for the most part. I'd probably shoot myself if I had to do litigation...

Well, I have two things in common with the forum members here.

I am a materials engineer also, like Manekineko. Worked a bit in a steel fabrication plant.

I am also a lawyer, but I dont do any litigation work.

As to all the medical related professions, the closest I get is play doctor with my wife.
