Me? I retired from the Canadian Armed Forces in 95 after 25 years in Cryptology (yeah, yeah, NSA, CIA, CSIS and all those other spooks!). Now, I work for an engineering firm specialised in reverse-engineering of semiconductors. I am in charge of all photography (it being very micro given what I work with) and I also do some electronics. It is a perfect job for me as it combines my training skills (electonics) with my hobby (pics). And, best of all, it pays for that outrageously expensive 8x10 film.

I do internet/credit card fraud investigation, freelance copywriting, and photojournalism.

Before that I've worked as chef or sous chef in fine dining, a LAN administrator, a paramedic, and as a sales weasel.

I spent 27 years working for one company in the graphic arts fields (think printing business) and then was laid off 2 years ago or so. I dabbled in construction and now have my own business as a tech rep on the same equipment I worked on before. Life goes on I do photography on the side.
