I'm an English major doing the starving artist/writer thing. My day job is sales assistant at a gaming store, which provides a nice employee discount on my hobby purchases. I am very concerned that my workplace will die due to the sucky economy.
Lost my job at a bank, graduated with a master's in particle physics (of which I am immensely proud), currently unemployed and looking for a paying job with enough free time to do research for a PhD. The prospect of a life without analyzing spectra and cleaning pumps is sad.
