So what does everyone do for a living? I always thought that based on the nature of these toys, perhaps the majority of our collectors were either some type of artist or engineer (who would appreciate the design and engineering over other collectors), though that's probably not true. Anyway, just curious what everyone does.
I'm an engineer primarily involved in the solid waste industry.

I guess I fit in your category Civil Engineer primarily involved in Water Operations/Potable Water Treatment/Desalination/Waste Water Treatment/Recycled Water Treatment

I have been a graphic designer for a large part of my life, but I have been involved in a lot of different things. Right now I am trying to reopen my silkscreening and toy business and I work freelance as a producer for an independent game developer.

I help clean up the mess that manufacturers / refineries / dry cleaners / gas stations leave behind in soil and groundwater by sitting behind computer all day.
And no I am not a tree hugger. I do have a love / hate relationship with styrofoam - love it when a gokin comes in it, hate it for what it does to the environment once thrown out.

I work in a project development consultant office, with specialization in renewable energy projects.
This is not the major I studied in university, tho. Really hard to be an idealist where I live, so I just have to take what job is available ;D - and it pays for those bills from HLJ and ebay!
