don't have a proffesion yet.. I'm sure it will be something in the field of computers, programming, design, architecture.. I dunno.

Website design has been an amazing highschool job for me though... make my own hours, good $. Only problem is finding business

Mostly just maintaining their website, but it is in need of some cosmetic updates, so it'll be getting a facelift. I also do a ton of programming and database management for certain information on the website.

I *almost* had a sweet gig as a county computer foresenics officer...but when i got to the final stage for polygraph, they wanted a list of all the pirated software i have used in my ENTIRE life. i had asked my investigator previous to the polygraph if i had to disclose, but he just wanted $$ amount. *sighs* but i have made a list for when they re-hire again, and cleaned up most of my act with being part of the MS consultant licencing for $280/yr that gives you loads of stuff.
