Which of the following best describes the industry in which you work?

Its a mix of many of those.

eh, student

Retail Entertainment Sales

I myself am a Day Care Provider in my home. My husband is in Law Enforcement/Court Bailiff. My oldest son is a Trucker. My oldest daughter is a Manager of a Pet Store. My other daughter is a boxmaker for a local company. My other son works in a factory. And last but not least, my two youngest sons are still in school.

I'm a student and don't really work.

You know, it really bugs me when "I'm a student" is lumped in with "I don't work." I'm a graduate student, and I work my ass off, and I consider it my job, even if I don't happen to be teaching at the time. And sometimes I'm also teaching, or working as a research assistant, but I'm still primarily a student. I voted that I work in the field of education.

What does being a boxmaker entail? I mean, besides the obvious! I guess I'm assuming that there's some non-machine related activity involved which she does--design, or special hand-made boxes or something.

I do data entry. We type things like accident reports, medicaid forms, and bureau of motor vehicle information. I picked both the computer industry and a service industry.

I picked "Service (public/private)". It is hard to say. Some of the other ones seemed appropriate too. I'm in the Hospital Employee's Union, so that suggests "medical", but I don't actually work in a hospital. I'm the Resident Custodian in a housing facility for "street kids".

I'm a student (sixth-form)

Wow! You must keep pretty busy!

My daughter that is a box maker is handicapped. Her job is to put boxes together so that the order pullers have them to fill with products. Thats all she does. And she loves it.

What industry are the Hare Krishnas in?

I'm learning or designing something every moment I'm awake. Most of those are avocations, for instance I'll call up the V.P. of Disney to suggest animation software designs. Officially it's only been concours auto restoration, studio art, programming & IT consulting, metaphysical consulting, and clerical coordination.

Smells like a market research survey!

What does 6th Form equate to in American terms?

That's really cool.

Telecom

A hotel. It is so boring and no raise in sight!!!!

I work as a COBOL programmer for an insurance company.

I'm not sure! We finish our compulsory education the year we turn 16. Then you can either get a job, go into training or continue your education - usually with GNVQs or AS/A2 levels (A-levels). People usually do A-levels/GNVQs at either sixth-form or college. So, sixth-form is something you enter at 16 and leave (usually) at 18. It forms the bridge between compulsory education and university.

HTH

I'd have to pick "entertainment." I produce online internet television shows. Currently I'm working on enhancing WCW Thunder on Wednesday nights.

Need collegues?

Oy vey. Unfortunately, no.

As a matter of fact, my WCW contract will be ending soon, and we all found out yesterday that our boss is "in the 90th percentile sure" that we all won't get laid off!

Ahh!

The creative side of any company always gets the short end of the stick.

Too bad. Wouldn't mind living in NYC for a while!

I give lessons in piano, voice, cello, viola, and am working on my masters in music education.
