No, really, job wise (if you have one), what is it you do? I'm curious as to how diverse we all actually are.

Student, applying at some companies now. Mainly, will be working in game development in some capacity, thatll happen in a few months. :)

But right now, I do have a job, I work at my school as a faculty assistant/lab attendent. I sit on my ass and help students without getting the same pay as a professor.  >:(

Yeah- I know the feeling, which is sadly (in a rude way) the reason I prefer to not help my fellow students. 1) If they pay attention, they wouldn't be in this situation; 2) I'm not getting paid to "help" those that don't listen; 3) It's taking up my time in an accelerated school; 4) The more people know, the harder the market for artists, hah!

Creative writing is pretty broad, now although it may say that on your degree, what is it you are looking to do specifically with creative writing? Become an author of books? Write a theatrical script? A movie script? Write the next alternative band's sci-fi inspired song? My degree states "Media Arts and Animation." I'm sure most people would have no idea what this meant.

I'm a student that kinda hangs out 5 days out of the week, because I have all my classes on 2 days and my license is suspended (you can't go anywhere without a car in this area, middle of nowhere sucks). So yea, I'm a professional slacker, that is learning "undecided".

Mainly in author of fantasy or sci-fi books. I have always wanted to work as a creative writer for Blizzard Entertainment and I see what the requirements on their own website, so which I must write such as a novel, problem is with my writing in novels and also it applies to me doing campaigns, I get the enthusiasm of what I want to write about, then after a few weeks I get bored and think of another good story and go onto that one, I got to work on my discipline. But yes, mainly author of books. Sure I'd love to write a movie or play script but I am not totally into that.

In Jersey I have employment at a Kings (really expensive grocery store). Otherwise I work as a tutor because dumb kids who cant do math usually have rich parents.
