In which industry do you work?

Retail, but not entirely. I work for the mailorder section of a retail company in customer service. I would say which one, but it is a hated company. I'll let Reality and Daver tell.

I don't really work, but when I pretend to it's technology.

How about information? Isn't that an industry? Actually, I work with and maintain computers, their software and our database (Technology), do children's programming (Education) in a public library (Government) and one day a week I work the front desk serving the public (Service).

"Would you rather work retail or have a nail driven through your skull?"
"What size nail?"

We usually fall under "Professional Services," since what we do is analogous to legal counsel (intellectual property consulting).

I work in the telecommunications industry, so I checked "one you forgot".

Well biotech pharmaceuticals - not really mfg. cause we don't have a product yet, but...

lisashea: SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEK!

PowerBuilder (i.e. front end to database) programmer.

Atzilut - you don't like PowerBuilder? I think it's pretty cool, actually, and contractors in the Boston area make $90k easily doing pretty simple stuff. Heh heh heh.

service- Technical support for a computer reseller.

I guess you'd say prostitution. I work for a bank that pretty much f*cks the customers (employees too.)

***jen...are YOU the one creating all those lawyers out there??!!!!

Lots. I'm temping right now. Yesterday it was at Cambridge Hospital, today at SmartRoute, tomorrow, who knows.

Basic biological research--I can't really make it fit into any of these categories. ***ron2112--you don't work in the technical writing industry; you do technical writing for, I assume, a company, and that company has some kind of product, and what kind of product it is defines the industry. If it's, say, some kind of computer product then you are, in fact, in the technology industry. ***It would indeed. Do you, or are you trying to avoid answering the question?

lions and tigers and geeks, oh my

I can't imagine which of these choices would encompass Technical Writing, so I chose "one you forgot". I suppose it could be Technology, but isn't everything technology in some way?

***steve: How do you know I don't run a tech document company that does contract work? That would put me in the technical writing industry, would it not? ***Okay, you got me, I was avoiding the question.

I'm a drifter living off the land. I log on to the internet at various cybercafes' along my journey backpacking across america.
