Pirate Petee Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I'm an Art Director. Thinkin about becoming a boarder patrol agent though. I like this job, cause it deals with art, but it lacks the excitement of my previous career.

Sjöröveren Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Photogrammetry technician, which means I make topographical maps using aerial photography. I don't get to go up in the planes, but this gets pretty close sometimes. Unfortunately, most of the stuff I map are very boring, like highways, ditches and parking lots. But the scenery is always changing! the Fool's Gold Pirates
CaptainCiaran Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Professional storyteller - bard - raconteur here. I travel all over NC and beyond sharing folktales (including a wicked Blackbeard story) mainly with elementary students, although occasionally am lucky enough to tell to adults. I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

Rumba Rue Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm an Art Director. Thinkin about becoming a boarder patrol agent though. I like this job, cause it deals with art, but it lacks the excitement of my previous career. Don't give up art for a Border Patrol agent. Besides if you went this route, you'd never be available for events and such, as we'd never see you again. The hours suck and the work isn't easy. I remember when you were looking for a job that had art involved. Stay with it, it will bring out your creativity much more and the chance of being involved with your friends and events on weekends is much more fun, isn't it?
Pirate Petee Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I know, your right. I'm going to stick with it, I just need a new job, been working for this one for a year and nothin. Need to look to the horizon for bigger and better things. Boarder Patrol was just a thought.
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Nothing as in what? Oftentimes it takes longer than a year to either make the job into something you like or to manoever to a job that fits more of what you want. Are there no opportunities where you work now?
Fox Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm a sort of freelance historian. I write magazine articles and books (got me history of pirate flags coming out this year ) I do interpretation work in various museums and historic sites, and I work occasionally with museums on their artefacts. Was a museum/ship curator for three years. I do education work, sometimes in schools but mostly through museums and historic sites. I work as an advisor for TV sometimes (dunno if anything I've worked on gets shown in the States - did you guys get a series called "Battlefield Britain"?) I've had some really crappy jobs in the past, and some better paid ones than what I'm earning now, but I'm not starving and I love my work. I have a mate who does education work, particularly science, but he uses history as a way of teaching stuff. The reason I mention him is because he does blow stuff up to teach physics.

Hoping to get mainly into special effects for the film industry. Not trying to be 'high' on myself, but I can do almost anything technical I set my mind to but get bored really quick... need something exciting and constantly changing to keep me interested.
