What is your RL Profession (alternate alternate poll)

Ok, I thought I would post a poll with a few more choices and a few less.

Actually, I should have only put one choice up there..... Services. Since every job out there is a service to someone or no one would be doing it.

I can't find a place for 'Fluffers'

Hmmm.... fluffers.... Where to put that one?

It could go under service industry...... unless you are REALLY good at it... then it could be an artform....... unless you went to the university and obtained a Masters of Fluffing degree..... in which case it would be professional

The research so far points to the majority of SL denizens to be Fluffers

/me hands his fellow SL residents some mouthwash




I'll try to keep you all up to date on what this research continues to reveal!

*wonders where the lower-line on "professional" is drawn*

University education required?
More advanced than that?

The American Heritage Dictionary defines a professional as:

noun:

1. A person following a profession, especially a learned profession.

2. One who earns a living in a given or implied occupation: hired a professional to decorate the house.

3. A skilled practitioner; an expert


So, in theory, there is no lower end as long as you get paid. Please refer to Siggy's earlier post ref: professional fluffers. Now one who performs a "fluffing" service without monetary compensation would be considered a volunteer. Volunteers (and not JUST volunteer fluffers) are some of society's most valued people!!

Others consider a profession to be one that requires a college education to perform (i.e. doctors, liars.....erm...lawyers, etc). So I guess you should just tick off the choice that fills you with the largest amount of warm self worth

I'm fascinated that you put "politicians" and "college professors" together.

Good categories, Vince. This looks like an unbiased selection of choices.

Buster Peel:


I'd put them together too : \ In my own possibly atypical experience, I've found university faculty to be startlingly political....

One of my professors called some certain justices "fuckers"....

Maybe not so atypical

(He's a cool guy though, we actually learn stuff)

Was he being literal? LOL... reminds me of my old history teacher, he used strong language to get the point across, but he sure did succeed in doing that!

Well when he forgets to bring certain papers to class he calls himself a "god damn idiot" so it's just that he uses language like that as a matter of course


But yeah, a lot is just to get the point across.

still missing a category

those that work with animals

I work for the mob!!! For real, I work for MonsterMob! It's a big mobile ringtone, java game etc. seller here in the uk (www.mob.tv). They have a division in the USA too, something squared I think, they bought them out when they went public.

Anyways I do their mobile phone site work. That and a thousand other odd jobs that fall on my desk. Some days it's really cool, and some days I'm stuck building some really crummy software tools, but you have to take the rough with the smooth.

Does nine squared ring bells to anyone? That might be it...

so why are you still up at this ungodly hour???



btw i loved your post about the peeing and someone's (sorry not good with names) reply with the bunny with the pancakes on its head

ha ha good point, i'm going to bed in exactly twenty minutes or less, probably less. Just checking the forums before I sleep

that can be a bit dangerous, you check, then think, ok, one more check, and then you say ok, going to bed now, and then you check one more time...

next thing you know it is 3am

i know cause i am doing exactly the same right now!!!



sleep well! (when you get there)

Ha ha yes I've been there. Thank goodness tomorrow (today...) is Friday. I need a weekend. On saturdays I'm not conscious till 1pm

addiction,

isn't it great!!!

The very best

LOL...

I'm not consious till 2 PM almost _EVERY_ day... Unix Admin (3-11 PM shift)

Just got back from a week of scuba diving and I'm suffering jetlag from having to get up early in the morning to go out and dive each day. (I never left the EST timezone)

It's been my experience that both are pushing some sort of political agenda and have a tendency to manipulate facts to best suit their outlook on things. So I thought they would make quite compatible bedfellows



I tried to be as comprehensive as I could while staying within the 10 category limit. I also don't believe your experience to be all that atypical when you consider that mine sounds very similar. I've also noticed similar opinions being voiced by others once they have finished college, but it usually comes about several years later. I think when one is in the 18-24 year old group they are more likely to accept the opinions expressed in lecture without question. It seems to come later that people realize there was an element of ideological indoctrination being crammed down their throats....

Jeez. That's disturbing. You probably (no, have just checked, you do) sell some of the stuff that my company writes.
