[brewthunda]

Corporate and transactional attorney - I help companies get up and running, help them sell stock, acquire other companies, do random business deals, etc. I also do trademark work, financial modeling and intellectual property licensing. It's fun because my clients are generally pretty amazing entrepreneurs and the goal is to get deals done quickly in a mutually beneficial manner. It's not to argue, stall, obfuscate, etc - like what you would expect based on lawyer tv shows. Too much stress though . . so things like woodworking and beer are nice obsessions to have to keep me balanced.

I am 2 weeks into a job in the tech support/customer service department of a
large company. They manufacture bath fixtures, and own a bunch of other companies relating to home improvement.
I am the guy that answers the phone when you cant figure out how to install the product.
It's ok, pays the bills, but the benefits are awesome! Saves me almost $500 a month on the healthcare alone.

Also am a mortgage guy, let it taper down to basically referrals and friends and family.
