With the sheer size of the community here, does anybody here have an extraordinary job? Let's hear about it!

Do we have any people that work close to important politicians/business leaders?

We definitely have our share of soldiers and veterans on the board. We got any Stars here? (That's person with the rank of Lt General or above, 1-Stars don't count)

Do we have any military pilots? Astronauts/Cosmosnauts/Taikonauts?

We're open to more mundane but important jobs too, things like medical doctors who work in emergency wards etc.

We got police/law enforcement specialists? SWAT-team members? Bomb squad, narc squad?

Nope. I work in an office, nothing out of the ordinary.

I work in television, film and theater. I even have a page on IMDb.com.

Not really an important job. Not that impressive, either. Often when I'm hired all they have is my name and a phone number, I qualified to work by answering a phone. It's exciting to me because I want to do it.

However, I work on the bottom rung of production and even I don't watch the stuff I do and wouldn't recommend most of it (except my plays, which I recommend seeing twice...)-especially not the reality shows...

I seriously doubt anyone in the professions you list would have the spare time or inclination to devote to an internet forum like this :D

I used to do research on "flesh eating" bacteria (S. pyogenes) and Francisella tularensis (causing tularemia) before, but I guess that the coolest job I have had...

If it were extraordinary, do you think I would be posting on here right now? :p

Well I did recognize a former Soviet cosmonaut by his face in Paris once, had a brief talk with him, he was surprised anyone would know. So you never know!

I used to be a marriage counselor, that was pretty important. I used to be a radio personality, not very important but very fun.

I do taxes?


Oh, I work a lot with kids, I run a local charity for them.

I guess it's not as cool as some of the things listed in the OP. :(


I am teaching a class at the community college in the spring, but anyone with some knowledge of a subject can do that.

I begin teaching my other classes again on September 4th (well, I don't teach that day, I just go set up that day, I start teaching on Tuesday)

My job usually causes lulls in conversation at cocktail parties, for whatever that's worth. I cut the heads off of embryos on a regular basis. (Of course, they are non-human embryos, but the word "embryo" seems to make people very jumpy these days.)

My lover had a terrific job for the last two years: his job was to get people drunk and the provoke them to anger. Seriously. He worked in a social psychology lab that was studying the impact of alcohol on different types of anger and aggression. He was the guy who they sent in to provoke their subjects, after the subjects had been boozed up.

I work for the CIA. I generally engage in recon ops. Also primary duties involve monitering internet forums for suspected terrorist activities. There are several suspects here on Nation States.

Sounds like the most fun job ever.

I'm going to be an intel analyst in about six months. But that's not really special because you just have to be intelligent and not in Al Qaeda.

I find this kinda offensive... "If you're a general or fly I plan, talk to me, but if you actually do the fighting or make the planes fly, then fuck you!"... Actually, it's not offensive, just somewhat amusing...

I'm the guy who shoots frozen chickens into the windshields of airplanes to test the strength of the windshield. It isn't much, but I'll tell you... Perdue does the most damage. Must be those meaty breasts.
