I love playing music myself -------------------- Bass players rule!:chew:chew
Yes, yes they do!
And i'm one too... 
As for my career (if you can call it that), I work in a bank doing customer service type stuff. I hate it, tremendously!

Haha, I won't be able to since I don't live in California or any of the other 10 or so states that have legalized it. But I'm sure there are plenty of pharmacists in those states that could do it!

I work for Fender Musical Instruments. I started out as a Tune/Tester in 2000. Then I moved into production of Guild Guitar's when we were making them in Corona. Now I'm in Quality Assurance. I agree bass players rule as long as they don't overplay over what I'm doing. (I sing and play rhythm guitar)

I work as a CNC Machinist in a toolshop cutting giant blocks of steel into plastic injection molds for plastic parts. We make molds for pretty much anything you see out of plastic, a lot of 4wheel ATV parts for Polaris and Yamaha, all their fenders and body panels we made the molds for.
All the Ford SUV's you see on the road with plastic grills we made the molds for also.
Heres a couple pics of my machine at work.

That block of steel on my machine weighed about 60 thousand pounds before I started cutting on it. After I got done with it it weighed about 35-45 thousand pounds, and thats only for HALF of the mold, the other half weighs in at almost as much for a combined total of about 80 thousand pounds when finished. That mold was for the front bumper of a Ford car.

That's cool. If I lived anywhere near there I would love to tour your facility.
So, what do you do with 15 thousand pounds of shavings anyway? Recycle?

All the chips that come off the job when I'm cutting it are usually swept/shovelled into a conveyor and emptied into a bin beside my machine, then I get on a forklift and bring the bin outside and dump it in an even bigger bin. That bin is then picked up and recycled to the local scrap yard.
To give you an idea of the chips that come off my machine, they are about the size of Frito's when I'm roughing a job out, I use a 4 inch diameter cutter that has 6 teeth (flutes) to it, I spin it at about 450 rpm, that means every turn of the cutter spits out 6 Frito sized steel chips (some people call them shavings). Now multiply 450 RPM by 60 seconds, thats 2700 Frito sized steel chips coming off my machine every minute. As you can imagine they pile up pretty quickly, are extremely sharp and hot as hell when they come flying at you. Sometimes when they hit bare skin they stick to you, or hit you hard enough to cut you AND burn you at the same time
I dont usually stand near it when the chips are flying, and after years of doing it you get to know where the chips are going to come flying off at as the cutter moves around on the steel.
You can go on sort of a virtual tour of the shop by going to this link. Its not really a tour but it has pics and info on it.

I'm looking for a job in Atlanta. Anyone know anybody?
What's your field? If you are in IT I can put you in touch with a few different solid recruiters.

I pay the bills (among lots of other things) for a occupational medicine company. Maybe not the greatest job in the world but its a fun place to work. The CEO has a pig with wings hanging from his office ceiling and a giant paper mache Jack-in-the-box head on his bookshelf.
