ses, your job sounds so cool!

Martin! So happy for your wonderful news.

I'm a story producer in reality and documentary television. It's basically an office job, but a good gig. Usually do three to five shows a year.

This looks Very interesting, philip! You must have your own stories to tell, with that kind of job. :)

My day job is being a student in a paralegal program. But my full time/paying job is actually in the evenings, doing legal document processing. Eventually I'm aiming toward public defense or legal aid paralegal or some form of administrative/legislative paralegal. Either helping those who don't have access to legal services not get chewed up by the system or helping to make the laws do less chewing in the first place.

The only thing I have learnt with absolute certainty at this job is that nobody knows what they are doing.

So abstain - the winners are the exchanges, just collecting fees day in day out.

That is for certain.  I don't have any illusion that I can time trades, I tend to sell very little with the exceptions that something has changed from the original thesis or if lucky, they really ran away and started to become too big.  Then I might scale back a bit.

I am a data migration consultant. Basically I work out how to move data from one information system to another, then I do the move. At the moment the systems are clinical and forensic.
