I was an Air Force pilot, in service for 26 years, then worked as an Electrical and Quality Engineer for 18 years in industry. I'm now fully retired and enjoying it...

I deal with people who want to cancel their OnStar service subscriptions and convince them to renew/keep their services.

I'm also a freelance designer and am opening my own company in the next year or 2 once I get the bugs worked out in my business plan.

Way... way too many specs to list.
Right now I break million dollar computers for a living.

Normally I work in engineering on those same things ;)

How is this a poll?

I just graduated college back in May and am pretty much bumming along until I start law school in August.

I do some accounting for the family business(real estate and a few stocks), I sometimes show properties, and I mainly deal with the clients when they're buying a property. My dad's spending more time on the golf course and less in the office so, I am slowly taking it over. I do this on top of being a student, Computer Science. I am also taking classes at a small college in Software Development. I had the opportunity to take Software Engineering and I would be doing an internship right now, but I turned that down because Software Engineering did not cover programming languages as in-depth as I thought it should. But, yeah, that's my schedule in a tiny nutshell.
