Currently, I am a high school Junior. However, I teach percussion lessons, mow lawns, and play plenty of gigs for cash. I make less than most people, but my parents pay for my gas and stuff, so it's not too bad. I plan on Majoring in Music Education with (possibly) a minor in Percussion Performance. Then I plan on getting a Master's (and maybe Doctorate) in Percussive Studies from North Texas University. BTW, I only do all the music stuff, cuz it's what I'm best at. I have made the All-State Band every year I have tried out (8-11). Was also 1st chair in the Orchestra this year. And runner-up on Drumset for state jazz band, but decided the 1st chair was much more prestigious.
So, basically. I am a 4.7 Student (AP Classes rock) that does nothing but play drums and piano, play video games, and teach lessons.

Frozty, with no exaggeration intended, I'm actually proud in that case to have you spend time here with us every now and then.

I tend to lurk... I check the forums almost daily, I just post post extremely often, unless needed, lol. But, thanks, anyway, Lav!

Same to you! Wow, it's been forever. How long has it been? Four, five years?
Are you doing well?

Oh Shure is nice stuff. Should be quite capable for performing live.

Mobile Infantry trooper.
Or officially known as "QA Technician" at Codemasters, a publisher and developer known for the Colin McRae, Operation Flashpoint and Dizzy games and recently Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (Lol). People in America probably don't know us but the company is in a stage of expansion. I spend all day playing a game called Heist and logging bugs that occur.
If I hadn't got the lucky chance to join Codies I'd probably be in IT on a helpdesk.

Is QA different in your region than the US? Here, any eighteen year old with a hard-on for gaming can get a QA job for an upcoming game.. And are soon then fired upon completion of their job.

@Lav, depends on the company. For blizzard even a temp QA job requires sample reviews, multiple interviews, and someone actually knowledgeable about video games in general.

All right, gentlemen. I might as well let you in on what I am doing.
I am finishing my last semester of the Master in Education graduate program. I just had my graduation ceremony Saturday. Right now, I am finishing up my thesis paper and looking for a job. I finished my student teaching and had an amazing time teaching English to classes of students. This is my passion. This is my life to be an English teacher.
I will know in the next few weeks if I have a job or not. Currently I have a BA in English, and will have a Master in Education degree come July.
(So I think that's awesome you're an English teacher too, Legion. I hope you stay in it.)
