When i started programming i was thinking that webdeveloppement is silly but after more than two years in the field, i actually like it  Web developpement can be boring, especially if you work on a shitty website, but when you have to build a solid webApp things get cool 8)The thing i love the most is the amasing freedom i have in my company, small companies are the best  | ||

Seeing as the chances of that happening are quite slim(along the line of "the chance I'll meet a beautiful american blond girl with a filthy rich father, who believes she should worship the very ground beneath my feet" kinda luck)....I'd probably end where all physicists end up - programming Assembly 0_0 | ||

My one man team turned into a team of 4 and I now manage the team. Performing maintenance, storage upgrades, and third level support for about 300+ customers. I fucking hate it. I want to be doing eSports full time... but it does feed the family and put a roof over our heads. What certs do you have? Just curious, about to acquire my CCNA, was wondering where that might get me to start off? | ||

In short bots for financial market speculation.I also collaborate with a trading firm. Im finishing my second degree in statistics and finance (finance is a total waste of time if you have statistics). The first degree was in biology . I aspire to destroy all the other traders out there and prove I am a force to be reckoned with. | ||

I race go - karts and other than that... play sc2 or do random stuff with the fiance. Also the occasional MMO binge with RL friends. Aspire to?.. I'd like to do something to make sc2 more mainstream (all eSports really).. Whether that's with my current job I guess we'll see. | ||

I control aircraft activity up to departure and upon arrival. Aside from physical aircraft, I conduct flight plan verification to ensure the route of flight is accurate. Aside from aircraft activities, I aid in the maintenance, construction and putting together of airfield requirements such as pavement, lighting, navigational aids, airfield signs and paint markings. This is a general layout of what I do on a day to day basis aside from dealing with the military bs. | ||

 ). I'm also the project lead on a project thats really interesting. A married couple is exploring Svalbard and I'm keeping contact with them over satellite phone, tracking their progress and writing articles about their journey. They'll begin their journey next week and I'm really looking forward to it.When I graduated from high school I was so sure that I wanted to do tech stuff. Maybe get into programming or something similar. I ended up enrolling into a 2 year long Network Technician programme at Luleå University. After just a few days I could tell that it was the wrong place for me. Boring classes, uninspired teachers ('You'll never use what you learn here outside the classroom') and so on made me drop out after 2 months. I basically turned into a bum at this point, living at my parents and trying to figure out what to do. After a few months I spotted a Media and Communication Science programme that focused on strategic communication. I sent in and application and forgot about it. A few months later I got a letter saying I was accepted. The entire class was awesome and after three years I graduated only to find that there were no jobs. I figured that I might as well continue studying. I took classes in design, writing, web development, photography and so on until I finally came to the conclusion that I needed a job. Just taking more and more student loans wouldn't cut it. On new years eve I met up with a friend of mine who said she was working at a small start-up company with a big corporation backing it. They were looking for a few more people and she said she'd talk to her boss, maybe I could get an interview or something. Long story short, I started an internship there a month ago. They did not have the budget to hire me right away but said that an internship might be a good opportunity to test the waters a bit to see if I'd fit in. Early last month was my first day and I'm loving it so far. I'm doing important projects that I get to lead myself and I feel that its more like a real job than a simple internship. In the few weeks I've been there I've done a lot of copywriting in a lot of different areas. Banners, web sites, brochures, feature-articles, PR, press releases, scripts for commercials etc. It's so creative, it's awesome. The only downside so far is that it is a bit slow sometimes because they haven't had time to pitch my expertise to their customers yet (they havent been able to offer anything like what I can provide in the past). I'm also doing SEM, strategies for crisis management, social media and internal communication. I do a lot of different stuff. My hope is that I can start "for real" asap after my internship is over. EDIT: Good god I rambled on. Sorry about that. | ||
