Ph.D. Student in Electrical Enginering, focusing on nanoelectronics and CMOS/SET integration.
 
Profession: I work as a liason between community based organizations (CBOs) working with minority populations around HIV/AIDS, local, state, and federal governmental agencies. My main goal is to make sure that the CBOs are not left behind and that they know how to speak bureaucratese.

School: Graduate student studying Industrial Design

Awesome :D What University? I have an aspiring 14 year old who is interested in nanotech. He's hanging in there with a 4.0+ gpa and already talks about his future Ph.D. :p From what I've read Florida State has a good nanotechnology program...
 
Molecular biologist. Never really got the hang of Macs until the change was forced upon me when I moved to the lab in Oxford... I soon ate my words when I bought one of my own!
 
Right now, I'm a contractor doing dull filing work and computer work (on Windows, only because I don't have a choice in the matter) when I'm called on to do it.

Where do you guys and gals work? Such as what is your job and what industry do you work in? I am going to go out on a limb here and assume everyone who answers this survey owns a Mac.

Reason being I am conducting a survey as to the industry those work in who own a Mac.

I am a Journalist.

currently...pc computer consultant and gardener/landscaper

11 years ago after college graduation...hr/computer person for defense department and hotel/motel front desk person

23 years ago right after high school...college student and sometimes retail clerk at chinese gift shop and parents' gift shop when at home

near future...not a pc computer person, thank god...and a home based employment attorney

and yes, i totally prefer a mac over a pc ;)
 
Programmer - mostly C, C++ but our new projects are now done in C#. Work on Windows apps for software installation creation/repackaging as well as some IT tools for application management.
 
I'm a college student. I have no idea what I'm going to major in. I really want to do something with architecture, but I hear that it's hard to do any of the good stuff you think of when you hear "architecture" unless you're really, really good, so...
 
I work for a place that does action photography. My main job is to design collages. We all use PC's, but hopefully I can convince the owner to switch... :D
 
Say, Apple!Freak, would you like to suggest a list of career categories (say no more than a dozen) so we can do a real poll?
 
Spent ten years as a recording engineer, ran my own studio for the last three, working mostly with bands. Really started missing my family and friends after a while (the hours are brutal) and somehow ended up working for a major corporation doing multimedia work and graphic design. Not nearly as exciting but it's nice to (mostly) have nights and weekends to myself again. ;)
 
I think Mr. Anderson has the best job so far. I'd love to stay at home and hang with the little man all day. My wife would come home from work and find us crashed on the couch, wireless PS2 controller in one hand, the other doing the Al Bundy, with Cheetos and Dew cans all over the floor. :D
 
I'm a Graduate student in Electrical Engineering focusing on robotics and control systems.
 
Social Services - I have been working with people who have an autism diagnosis (and some with other diagnoses) for 6 years. All that I have worked with have some sort of mental disability or impairment and some have physical disabilities/impairments. A very rewarding field.
But I am leaving this field to go to film school in NY this fall.

I sent you a PM. You could add "Student" to that list as well.
