Wow!!

Wow!!

After reading this thread, I realized for the first time, that "I am an un educated bum". 😱 I am a self employed gardener
 
My background and current occupation is in audio design and production. Over time, I've found a number of audio heads that have also taken to photography with some intention. Both engage a combination of the aesthetic and technical aspects of the brain and deal with intangibles. They counter and balance one another nicely.
 
Graphic Arts...or The Printing Industry...
I used to work as a Service Technician for a manufacturer of Web Printing Presses...that would include Installation, Removal, Mechanical, Electrical, Printing and Training...
I do the same thing now but just self-employed now...
I got to travel to many places mainly due to being a Former Pressman on this equipment...
Trade Shows and Printing Problems were my Specialties...

Commercial photography since 1996. Bachelor of Applied Arts degree in Still Photography from Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto, Ontario, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Still Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, and did freelance stuff here and there during school.

Ryerson changed the program's name to 'Image Arts' a number of years ago, and now they're awarding BFA's. I think Ryerson was the only school at the time to give Bachelor of Applied Arts degrees.

I called them to tell them I got the blue screen of death. When they asked how often, I told them once every three months. Their response: "That is not that often."

There is a wide variety of service levels that IT will give you, depending on the company. Where I work, I would at least look at your logs to see if there is anything immediately apparent showing why your computer locked up. Other companies are not so generous with their IT staff (and other companies are more generous).
 
Secondary education. Oh, and I'm now retired - miss the students and coaching soccer (football, really) but not the paperwork and endless reinvention of the wheel inherent in the political hot potato known as education in the U.S.

I am a film director, but working as 1st Assistant Director from 12 years already... Not sure I'll sit on the Director's chair again on a film, only commercials left for me...
I am also part time Jazz/Fusion saxophones and wind synthesizer - Akai EWI player

IT-rat race for 10+ years, until last fall I jumped away from it, least for a while. funny thing is, when starting my career, I could have almost pay todo what I did (programming), instead of getting paid for doing it 😀

Geez...trained in photography at 19yrs, went into motion picture industry as camera assistant, then a stint in printing/graphic arts industry, then studied cartography, then darkroom and aerial-photo tech, then a photographer in a university, 27 yrs later, now in government in mapping/property information.

Still think I'm am a photographer, still think I'm 19...
