Started my sonic adventures at 16 on a local festival stage and been doin it ever since.  Toured fulltime while finishing my B.S. degree in Electronic Media. . . God the cell bill that year was retarded.   About 3 years ago the market seemed to dry up for me and I picked up full time gig at a public school for an 11 building school district.  I'm the only A/V guy in the entire place.  Projectors, lighting, sound, event planning, multipurpose room designing and I'm dragging the district into the sound 21st century with a proposal for a killer rig in one of their 4 auditoriums.  Weekends, I go out on the road for random national one offs.  

Everytime I read a post here in the lab I hear myself saying the same thing over and over again . . . I have so far to go . . .
Thanks guys for all the beta.

Got my degree in computer science and did 9 years of software development before burning out a couple years ago.  So now I'm back in audio, still somewhat underemployed but it's getting better.  I guess my "day job" is doing things like video/audio studio wiring, music equipment repairs, and building microphones.  

I'm self-employed mostly, and while my boss isn't an asshole yet I'm training him to be one.

Computer programmer / systems analyst.

Amazing how fault finding in each job compliments the other.

I've come across a lot of guys in my town who are computing by day and muso/se by night.
