That's not a living - studentism drains money, it doesn't make it.

Unless, I suppose, you're a student in ho'ology...

I'm getting paid by the NHS to sit here and post on the forums, and lurk on the IRC.
Big thankyou to anyone here who pays UK taxes...

I'm a leech on Brittish Society in that I'm doing a course that entitles me to two department's grants and busuries. That said I'm still a poor student with no job. (Everywhere round here doesn't hire students)

I am a Sonographer.. which means I do ultrasounds in the medical stting. Right now I am a traveler.... This means they are paying me good money to travel to other states, see the sights, and do a job I actually truely love to do... next stop...Hawaii!!! It is great.. for now anyways..I get to pick and chose where to go. I wanted to go to Cali... but I couldn't refuse Hawaii now ..could I? (and 60% of my wages there will be tax free), and it includes housing..food, transportation, local phone, cable, electricity....
Dang my life is rough!!

I am a 5th year bachelor of computer systems engineering student that decided engineering is for hacks (sorry for all you lovely, lovely, human condition improving engineers out there - its just too practical for me) so i turned to AI...

Now if my honours thesis assessment appeal goes well (damn ignorant engineering professors - didnt even read (or understand) my thesis - its worth two whole subjects! and one of them gave me three comments ! 1. substantial work... 2. good reference list. 3. no good journal references :( ) ... im sure common sence will win out in the end... or if that fails i always have nepotism *sinister laugh*) I will be a PhD student wooo!

So I can devote my life to my passions: knowledge representation, natural language processing (but not spelling) and logic :)

I get trapped under refridgerators, pinned against walls by tv's, have toasters fall on my head, get electrocuted by computers, fall off lorries, crush my feet under washing machines, boss people about and moan about my wages. Then attempt to sell anything i haven't already broken. (short version: Stockroom manager in electrical store) :P

Sometimes I'm a sales associate for a mobile bookselling company when I could do with a dollar to spare. Otherwise, I'm more inclined to do volunteer work, like Cantr zine staff (albeit not usually of this trivial nature). I'm primarily a student here in New York City.

I play poker for pocket money. Other than that, I just graduated, and am doing a whole lot of nothing over the summer.
