Nothing else to do for me since my comps busted... hope you guys can spare a little time for my survey... I just want to know how diversified are the Bryce artist... so i would like to know what you do for a living.... ME? well I'm an architect and content on building houses for now at the same time a Radio Announcer/ Disc Jockey on one of our City's FM RAdio.... When not doing bryce i try to learn other 3d programs, draw, paint and watch movies. And oh part of my job is to go to bars and party every wned. fri. and saturday... what about you?

I am a retired antique dealer. I love travel and movies. I am constantly taking online classes to learn new software and improve my skills. Diane

Right now I'm 20 years old and in the US Navy. My job title there is MSS, or Mess Management Specialist Subs. This basically means that I'm the Chef aboard a submarine. Previously I managed the kitchen in a Restaurant/bar in the lakes area in Minnesota. I planned on going to college in New York for culinary arts, but it got too expensive, so here I am in the Navy, earning credits and mulla so I can finish my college and hopefully someday own a restaurant I can call my own.

I am a clerk. My full time job, I am file clerk for social services. pays good. my part time job I'm a library clerk at the public library also pays good. My mother is naturally artistic and my daughter is planning on studying art. I'm more mathematical. But I love Bryce. I just need lots of help with it LOL. As a side note for all those Brycers who are having a hard time getting a job, look into county or state jobs. They pay well and there are usually openings every so often. Even tho they've been downsizing here where I am, people still retire, move on, die etc and they have to hire people. Good luck all. Ang

I'm a student in high school. Entering my junior year in the fall. I don't have a job, with the economy people around here aren't hiring much.

I run my own business creating custom stationery for small businesses/organisations. I edit newsletters for charities and repair/rebuild old photographs....the oldest one I worked on? ...1908! All done at home on my desktop.

I'm a Purchasing Agent for a local company during the week and on weekends I'm a cashier at a local convenience store. Unfortunately, those two jobs and my 17 year old son and husband, leave little time for Bryce but hopefully one of these days I'll go back to just one job and will have more time to spend on here and working with Bryce.

Your husband is 17?

Hangon! Let's read that again....your 17yr old son is your husband?

Domestic Goddess-HAHAHAHAHA!! I put in 16 years working at the post office and walked away from it last year, good pay and benefits, but hey, life's too short to stay in a job you hate. So, for now I'm just hanging out at home.

I feel for you squeeka. I hope that we both will be able to go back to just one job, its so hard to do after getting used to that level of income, seems like there's no way to do without the money (notice I didn't call it extra money). I had thought that I might be able to get a higher paying job and quit the library and spend more time with my family. So far the higher paying job hasn't come up and my husband walked out on me (I wasn't paying enough attention to him). Found himself a nice girl and they just get along so well. And my daughter is entering college in the fall. On a better note, we did get a wonderful letter yesterday, she's been picked for a scholarship. Every little bit helps. :-D As much as I hate working so many hours, I am very thankful to have the two jobs with the way the economy is. Best wishes for all. Ang

Well here goes... I'm 24 years old, basically unemployed, living in a wonderful coastal city called Wilmington, North Carolina. I attended high school and went to college in Fremont, Ohio. After getting my 2-year degree in Computer Information Systems, I moved to Toledo, Ohio in hopes of dabbling around in the computer industry. Not so...worked for Office Depot in the tech department for 3 1/2 years. Met my girlfriend through a mutual friend and moved closer to her in NC, we chose Wilmington as a destination. I have yet to find full-time work here, but hoping to get something soon. I often wonder if I went into the wrong thing, I seem to be really enjoying the 3D end of things, like gaming, but more school just scares me sometimes. :-/ Plus it seems like they all say you have to know programming, which programming doesn't appeal to me much either. Outside of that, I love Wilmington, the beaches, the historic downtown, nice friendly community. Outside of work and Bryce, I play softball and I am getting eager to coach youth baseball again (ages 14 and up). I was a baseball manager for 14 & 15 year old leagues in Fremont when I was 16-21 and loved every second of it. I love the competition. MD

I click buttons, oh and run and chairspin in continuous circles till I'm dizzy and go THUD!! :-)

Ang, I really hope we can both do that :) I'm thrilled to hear about your daughter. Give her my congratulations. One job would be great but as you say, you get used to the level of money and it's hard to walk away from it when it allows you to afford little extras for the family. Ahh well, enough of that...

Maddog, don't worry to much about going into the wrong thing. The way the economy is lately, I don't think it matters what field anyone goes into. So many places are closing or downsizing, there's a ton of people out there looking for work(especially in my town where 3 major employers are closing or laying off this summer). You'll find something eventually and in the meantime, enjoy Wilmington and coaching :) It's better than working 60+ hours a week and wishing you had more time to spend with the family and Bryce :P (I do agree with Ang tho, I'm thankful I have those two jobs)

Hugz to all of the Brycers in this forum. You all make it a great place to come and relax, post work, or just blow off some steam when things go wrong(big hugs to EYECON til the computer is fixed) :)

Squeeka

ps Clay, I want to do what you do :P Sounds like fun :)

Ang: Congrats for your daughter..what a nice birthday present for her!

Tnx for the hug squeeka.... i need that.. the thought of no bryce is killing me! two more days.... two more

lessee..according to the 'people page' at work, I'm a Senior Helpdesk Analyst at the local corporate campus..I maintain all the Print Queues on the Print Servers (locally), work on printers, PC's, and software, and play in the company band..;). I (change to squeeky high voice..;) render things in between calls, and late in the evening (which is why everything gets rushed..and explains the 'quality' of my work sometimes..;), I make models and smart comments in the forums..;)

37 yr old Health insurance claims examiner

Personal Assistant/Administrator for my boss that owns three companies. It actually tends to allow a lot of flexible time for being a Mod...;oD AgentSmith

Help Desk technician for state agency AKA Nick Burns your companies computer guy.

Nuclear Security Specialist... Basically a SWAT team guy that stops the baddies from blowing up nuke plants. It's been a dicey job for twenty years, but I must say, business has been a little "better" than I care for. As I tell my wife, "An exciting day at work is a really bad thing..."

Technically, I'm a Bible college student, although I'm only taking one class currently. I'm also an author and a songwriter.

I work in a mail house. (Ringbearer... Looks like you and I have something in common. heh heh heh ) I am an inkjet operator and work in the computer room cleaning databases of adresses, eliminating addresses that are not honored by the USPS ( US Postal Service) as legitimate addresses. So you never know.... some of the junk mail that you receive may have just come off my inkjet. Lol... The mailhouse I work in does a volume of about 15,000,000 pieces of mail per month. I also have 17 years experience in printing as a pressman working Offset web presses and 6 color sheetfed presses. ~ Swade ~

Me.. I'm just a lowly factory worker. I just stand infront of a large plastic mold injection machine and wait for it to spit out parts, which i just make sure they are good parts then stick them in a box.. fun fun.... The parts are made for honda cars.

Self employed Contractor Since 85. New Construction & Renovation. I do it all(build,renovate,customize) but my specialties are: Flooring & Painting(Special Applications) In a short: I cover things that the traditional trades don't know how to or want to due to special licensing & regulations. I fix repair & bulid PC's on the side. Oh yeah my 3rd job is my home.

I'm 46 and currently work at the UofA where I just got a promotion to Secretary II. Doesn't sound that grand, but it's a 10.7% pay increase. (Hurrah!) I work for three research writers who write curriculum on child development and childcare which we then train trainers on and who then teach it to caregivers and teachers throughout the state. I take their text and format it to be consistent within the series, add graphics and such (basically I make it pretty). I organize the train-the-trainer session, supply the trainers with the curriculum manuals and various supplies. Right now I'm struggling with three manuals that are in the final stages and trying to get the database of the students who've taken these classes in the last gazillion years together. Before this, in my past life, I worked in the travel industry for 20 years - 19 years with the airlines, 2.5 as a travel agent (one year was an overlap). Other than that, I make Ukrainian Easter Eggs (aka pysanky) and cook. And Bryce! :o)

At the moment I'm an attorney. Past professions were... EMT - ambulance medic. Offroad VW engine/trasmission Helo Mechanic / director of maintenance / turbine engine inspector. Helo pilot / flight captain / flight instructor. Fisherman (tuna super seiners) Church pastor Truthfully, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that the student loans are real killers! I got into Bryce in 1998 and Poser in 2002. Not sure what the next horizon is with CG. EIU? Maya? Softimage? Some good CG school when I get tired of lawyering? Maybe I'll go to the Jamacian Blue Mountains and learn the secret to what makes really good coffee beans.

This is a very interesting thread! I enjoy reading what we all are in our 'real lives'...heheh...this is fun stuff. :) It's like hearing what celebs and athletes do in their spare time (besides spend their endless amounts of money.) I think we're all celebs in some aspect. :) I once had a roommate who's girlfriend got a job holding those 'slow' signs at construction sites on the roadways. I told her, "You know, you make twice as much as I do and you could be replaced by a bucket of freakin' sand." Moral of that story, there's gonna be some sort of work anywhere, just gotta find it...that's the tough part. ;) MD

eelie, which UofA?

Happy Birthday - Have a great Day Creations Roch222

Right now? Probably that thing Clay does. But that's ok. I have "liberty savings" (didn't blow $ on trinkets or booze during my cruises) from the last 5-1/2 years I've spent in the Navy as a lowly MM3 (I felt more like a janitorial specialist, but they didn't have that rating. lol. Also did an out of rating thing as a techrep "parts guy" aboard ships Maintenance that I was pretty good at.) Anyhow got out, as I felt cooped up being there. I could go on about previous jobs I've had. So, I'm enjoying the summer. I'll soon be looking towards getting back into school and/or getting a job of some sorts.

Thanks Roch222 :-))

factory worker..10yrs.stand there and trim wires..very boring moderator at a Deltaforce Comanchee 4 site married 20 yrs..or so (hehehe) Tying to learn bryce,photoshop,lightwave,maya,zbrush,wings3d,and a host of others, besides making missions and terrains for the Deltaforce series of games (and Comanchee 4). Live 15 mi from where maddog used to live.

Hmmm...well, I was a pastor for about 10 years, then I learned HTML out of a book and started a web design company about 7 years ago...company name: Claymor :) Then I started climbing the corporate ladder and most recently was Chief Technology Officer and VP of Product Marketing for two different software companies. All that means is that I climbed high enough that now my resume looks too pricey...been unemployed since last June. Oh, and Happy Birthday creations...I turned 42 on what is now yesterday...the 13th.

Happy birthday, Claymor and Creations! I'm a journalist. In print. Before that, I used to be TV and radio journalist. Translator. The editor of an SF magazine. And bouncer, for a summer. It was a way to have a free vacation. :-) This last year has been pretty hectic, so I changed the job a little. It will hopefully make it possible for me to spend more time on Bryce and learn more. Learning Rhino and MojoWorld. Have some knowledge of Photoshop and Poser, but I'm still learning. Finally, after buying a digital camera, I'm also trying to learn that. The current results can be seen in my gallery. :-)

Right then, I work for a software company creating Web Portal Solutions for the public sector (mostly fire service) All began about 3 1/2 years ago when I was unemployed. I went on a traing course to learn the 'basics' of a PC (MS Office). Got a place ment with a web design company and it all snowballed from there. I write in HTML, ASP and SQL. Stash ;0)

Right now Im a proffesional layabout but back when I was employable I drove tourist buses all over the UK, showing our beautiful country off to our foreign guests. After that I drove a limousine doing the same sort of thing but also in central London and met some interesting people. I drove Sylvester Stallone when he came over for the premirer of Rocky, (didnt like him at all), Bette Davis when she did a stint at the London Palladium, (wonderful lady), Ray Charles, (boy, could he swear) and I was taking Carrie Fisher to drama school every morning in St Johns Wood when she got the part in Star Wars. And loads of others you`ve probably not heard of.

Unix Systems Administrator working for an international Computer Services company (EDS). Unix is good fun, pity it doesn't help me when Windows goes wrong, and that Bryce doesn't run on Unix or Linux.. 8-( In answer to the other survey I live in Basingstoke, England, which is about an hour's drive south of London. Not a great town, but surrounded by lots of beautiful english countryside.

I couldn't resist this topic! I am a IT/Networking junkie who works in a health care facility. hahaha. Employment for IT is so so difficutl here in Southern California. MadDog31, I know exactly how you feel. I finished top in class but the only job I could find was a technician! They need experience and lots of certs, also I can't stand being so "professional", I hate wearing a tie! I am also a college student going for a degree in... ummm I don't know but something in the medical field where the job market is so much better. Yeah I don't really, really like the medical field but I do like(and need) money and stability, so I'm fishing where there's a lot of fish. Other odd past jobs include: fast food (KFC), autoparts warehousing, postal, airport security, child counselor... and others i don't even want to remember right now.

We ( Willem and Madeleine ) are retired sculptors. Mainly due to a serious lung-disease ( Willem ) we were forced to find other means of being creative. About a year ago we've bought our first computer in a attempt to translate our language in stone/bronze and acrylic into 3D computer art. A dear friend gave us Bryce 5 because he thought it was the right program for us to create the world where our sculpture forms could be living. He was right! It was however a great culture shock for us. Coming literally from the stone-age into the computer world. We are trying to find our way in Bryce/Amorphium and Xfrog. In the southern part of The Netherlands were we live we opened our own gallery and at the end of this year we will exposing our first steps in 3D images.

This thread is interesting indeed! It's nice to get to know you better... I'm a writer and a translator, both job concerning fiction. I started when I was 19 writing some essays on Stephen King and then moved on writing my own stories. So far I have published three novels, two short stories collection and three novels for children. Next year I'll publish other two novels. I translated in Italian books by very cool people, like Jeffery Deaver ("The Bone Collector" was a hit even in Italy), then JG Ballard, Poul Anderson, Douglas Preston, Peter Straub, JR Lansdale, Jonathan Coe, Isaac Asimov etc. This (the translations) is my main source of money, but I hope I'll sooner or later be able to write for a living. Ah, btw, today it's my 37th birthday... Creations, we were born in the same day! S.

For Creations and DoubleCrash Oooohhhhhh, he's a jolly good fellow, Oooohhhhhh, he's a jolly good fellow, Oooohhhhhh, he's a jolly good fehellooow, and so say all of us! Happy birthday you two!

:)

Happy Birthday! Claymor, Creations and Stefano!

Happy birthday folks, as to work I'm a Tools Manager / Process bloke. I create/manage the tools and processes the company I work for use in systems engineering. i.e. I do a bit of programming, a bit of processy stuff, a bit of web design and a lot of shouting when things hit the fan :-)

Happy birthday guys! :) Im infact an alien, from a binary system not so far away. While conducting some surveys for a possible invasion, some street punks busted up my craft pretty good, and im stuck here ever since. Doing Bryce just to kill some time until you guys invent an anti-matter reactor...

(bows to all of you!) Ahh, but my theory about all of you being 'bots is getting dim...! It's good to see that you ARE people, with real lives, and not just a collection of super-artists out to make me feel inferior! I co-own and operate Dragon PC, a local computer company we bought back in January. Mostly we make gaming and graphics rigs locally, some small business stuff... But my main job is at Northwest Exteriors here in Auburn. We design and make and sell new, well, Exteriors! Steel roofs, vinyl windows, stuff like that. Vinyl siding. Japanese-style steel tile. I do the brochures and promo graphics, and lots of pre/post shots of model homes. But mostly I convert Rhino models into real objects that can work on a real house... Which means I do just what Clay does. No sense trying to be TOO original! (grins at Rochr)
