I was just wondering, outside of being Bond fanatics, what does everybody DO for a living? I'm a senior in High School and I work partime at the local grocery store.

Well Tracy, here's hoping I make you feel a little less old:

I am a college instructor in NYC. My college, Queens College, is part of the larger City University of New York system.

As a matter of fact, the college I work at is the same one that was attended by Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano, Paul Simon, and Marvin Hamlisch. Art Garfunkel and Fran Dresner also attended Queens College for a while.

I work with students -- mostly ESL but some are native speakers -- who need help preparing to take the various writing exams that they take while in the CUNY system.

My work also involves supervising the E-tutoring program in the Writing Center. With E-tutoring, students submit papers for review, and using MS word we highlight problem spots and give them gentle guidance on how to make it better.

I also run information seminars on how to use the CUNY Write Site. The Write Site is an online writing lab, that has interactive excercises, references and links to other sites all geared to help students improve their writing.

And while doing all of this, I am also working on my Masters degree in Literature.

Zencat....if you ever get a call from Eon...I've got the perfect story for you...all you have to do is change a couple of names...and we've got Colonel Moon's next act or war all planned out.

And JIm....don't worry! I won't send any of my academic papers your way.

Cheers!

Xenobia

I'm at college now, studying for my A-Levels in Media and Film Studies. I'll be going on to do a degree or two at university.

So if you see me as the director of a future Bond film, be sure to go to see it!

I also work part-time as an estate agent. If I try to sell you a house, I reckon you should buy it. Our promises are 100% guaranteed!

My name is Bond rm2 , James Bond. 007

Self employed contract project manager. Currently with no contract so if anyone is in need of a PM anywhere in the world, my CV web link is in the profile page.

Apologies for the blatant advertising but the economy is killing me right now. My penultimate contract was in the telephony industry - that died. I then went into the travel industry, we all know what happened there....help.

I will be standing outside Reading train station with a cup in my hand at this rate.

Like MDSmith, I'm senior in High School. Outside of school, I work full time as concierge at a local hotel and I also do some group sales work for them too. 007Forever.com can also be considered a job since I spend a great deal of my time working for that. Through 007Forever, I've recently began offering my assistance to people and groups looking to organize James Bond themed events. I also consider RaymondBenson.com a part-time job, too.

I used to spend a lot of my time working in the theatre (stage not screen) as an actor or doing behind the scenes stuff, but due to my busy schedule I can no longer participate in those type things.

I am student in Germany, in class 10 of a comprehensive secondary school, and I still have 3 years to do until I'll get my school leaving examination, something like the A-levels in Britain or the high school graduation in the USA.

As you know in Germany we haven't lessons all the day, so my day begins at 6.30 a.m., at 7.50 a.m. school starts, it lasts either till 1.00 p.m. or 4.35 p.m., after that I go home, have to do homeworks and then I start my computer day... :)

I have some other hobbies, like reading, cycling and cinema. That's it :)

Regards,

First of all, I feel old!!!!

I received 2 degrees from San Francisco State University (Cell and Molecular Biology and Physiology with a minor in Chem). I'm trained in biological/biochemical research.

Right now I'm looking to apply to the University of Manchester (Egyptology/Forensics Graduate program). I love Art History, Egyptology, American and British 19th Century Literature, fashion, and of course anything BOND related!

Well, right now I'm in my first year of high school, where I help out with making the yearbook and I just recently made the High Honour Roll. I have decide that I will go into architecture and design as a profession once I graduate high school. My hobbies are art, reading, watching movies (especially James Bond ones), making car models and visiting CBN. I will soon be working at a video store, once my sister leaves (the manager doesn't hire two members of a family at the same time). That's about it.

Former barrister, now a manuscript editor for a nameless large publishing house.

This is not a cue to send me your novels. It's a man's life in academic texts.

Husband, father of three, another one on the way, grumpy patient and unlikely to be cast in My Left Foot and still under 30. Yikes.

I'm in first year at Uni in Melbourne studying Business Information Systems after changing from Civil Engineering. I also work part time helping with accounts for a small business. Then during the holidays I go back home to sunny Mildura to relax.

For fun ? Mainly just getting a group of half a dozen or so friends together, and going around town on a Saturday night from party to party. Also going to football games, playing the Nintendo 64 with limited skill, playing golf with even less skill, writing "Freemo's Friday", and slowly adding to my Bond collection.

I've made my living as a professional screenwriter since 1996. I've sold or been hired to write projects for MGM, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, ABC, and 20th Century Fox. My first movie is being produced this year. I also keep a part-time job with Lucasfilm for when times get lean (and to get me out of the house :)).

From September 2002 on I will be a student. If all works, film and TV dramaturgy, if not either history or psychology.

Hobbies are writing (film scripts, short stories), playing guitar (or respectively learning it), reading (favorite author H.G.Wells), and last not least watching films. Bond of course, otherwise I love all from David Lynch and M. Night Shyamalan. :)

Work/School:
I go to "St.Cuthberts High School" in Newcastle, England. Its the same school that: Decland Donnelly, some guy who designed the MI6 building, and Sting went to. Sting is renting Pierce's Notting Hill, home in London.
At school my favourite lessons are probably; Italian (l'taliano), Art (il disengo), and ICT (l'infomatica). I cant stand Biology, or Maths.

Hobbies:
Well, other than being a Bond fan i enjoy:
extreme sports - although, i rarely ever get the chance.
art - its very relaxing.
cinema - and movie trivia - nice place to unwind.
and, my computer(s) - helped me find the wonderful world of CBn.

Wow, we have a lot of common interests. I've always had a fascination with Egyptology and Forensics. I've never had an interest in going into any of those particular fields but I have always enjoyed learning about them. Good luck in your schooling!

I am at Cottenham Village College, called so, because its a school... not college. Weird I know. Its in a ****py little village not far fro mCambridge city center, and I'm in Yr.10, studying for all the usual, and some other dumbass subjects. Outside of school I used be on the net a lot, now I cant be bothered, and I now have to do some work in a local internet cafe as a kinda advisor, as the people who started it just saw it as a get-rich-quick scheme, so employed a 14 as an employee. I've parachuting twice, bunjee jumping once, and had three flying lessons (helicopter, light-aircraft just scared me s***less when I saw rust on the right rudders of the flight school.

To say I like heights is an undersattment. Other than that I just do whatever. Work, cinema, blah blah blah... even shopping.


BTW, I aint been here in a while, this is just a test thing
