But now I own a small advertising/design agency in the Washington, DC area. I spend a good part of my week doing video, too, pushing pixels around in FCP.

Bought out the family business in '99. We're an imported/specialty foods brokerage.
We do marketing, sales and promotion of these foods to the specialty distributors who sell to grocery chains and gourmet food shops from Maine to South Carolina.
Our best line is Briannas Salad Dressings from TX
They are a fantastic client of ours since 1992 and are currently the 2nd best selling specialty dressing in the U.S.
2nd company handles real estate investment.

Anyway, what avic software are you running? I'd be happy to help you out. I orginally was running 1.0, and then today I upgraded to 1.2 and it wiped out my custom screen, so I have to re-do it. Grr...

This is a neat thread...getting to see what people do.
I am an engineer for Caterpillar. I get to design planetary gear sets for our Large Off-Highway Trucks. The "smallest" I work with is the 130 ton payload and goes all the way to the 400 ton payload. Nothing like 8 turbos feeding 24 cylinders making 3500+ horsepower and I get to play around with it.

Cool thread, about time you starting something worthwhile
I am a golf professional. Not the kind you see making the real $$$, the kind that babysits adults for a living, and unfortunately that description is somewhat literal
From running the course to club repair, to lessons for the young to the too old to learn, I do it all

Well other then a full time student, I do car audio at Circuit City (my store does good work, gasp crazy thought I know), as well as I work at a bicyle shop, so my garage is car audio stuff and bikes everywhere.
