Me? I'm not a professional at anything yet. I'm working this summer as a roofer. Other than that, I'm a full time college student, majoring in computer information systems to become a professional computer programmer. I also have plans on being a professional jazz bassist. Yes, that's probably going to be way harder. :eek: Those guys are sick

I'm not a proffesional either. I don't even have a summer job. I'm just a high school student, but I think a cool job to have would to be a physicsist. Someday. Maybe.

I am a 10th grader looking for a summer job. I would like to find cure for diseases someday, like a medical researcher probably.

Yep. I was in the school jazz band too, except I played trombone in it. We also sucked :). That's what got me into jazz. Then I joined another band as the bass guitarist and realized the bass is a fuckin' sweet instrument.

I was never in jazz band but I used to play trombone. It's an awsome instrument.

I am taking classes that will eventually allow me to be a teacher (of biology, I hope). I play the bass but I am not currently in a band.

Sometimes, I find a puppy, take out a razor blade, and slit its throat in front of a troop of girlscouts.

It gets a great reaction.

top mosker....You should try that on yourself sometimes, just to see the girl scouts reaction. I would enjoy watching you myself, could you do it soon?

No summer job, no profession. College student, future illustrator (that means, floor washer, burger/clothing salesperson, anything that comes at hand). My gov't prof. said artists are the modernizing elite. I am going to be an ELITE! An under/unpaid elite!

there was that dude who said some quote about that. (how vague)
it was something about studying politics and war so his sons could study literature and science so their sons could study art and music.
or something not like that at all. but yeah, art is the ultimate in useless pursuits so it's a sign of refinement and a leisurely society devoid of conflict. the better off your society is, the more art/culture it produces.

Well, my parents studied science, and my grandparents studied war and medicine. So, here's me. :eek:
Just curious, what do sons/daughters of artists study? Do artists have children?! (You can hear my major concerns for the past year or two.)
