Professional game developer. I've helped make shovelware Wii titles to AAA ones. Moved to the West coast and worked on the trains (and pipeline tools) for Red Dead Redemption. I got laid off from Rockstar Games right around when MWO started development and I totally would have moved to Canada if I've known about MWO and PGI was hiring. :)

Now I'm back in my home city Philadelphia, writing the graphics (DX9) for slot machines. It's starting to become dull and I've been itching to get back into the game industry. Thinking of starting my own indie game if I can manage to find the time.

I work at a grocery store mainly as a cashier, but I can do pretty much anything asked of me since I've been there almost eight years.

I earned my Bachelors Degree in Biology, but the jobs aren't there.

That was my first job. Believe it or not I felt much better about that work than my current kind. It may be physically harder and outdoors, but you get exercise have a work environment with interesting decor and best of all you are saved the impossible duty of trying to please people so diverse that no one is completely satisfied regardless of what you do.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

Well if the US somehow develops battlemechs then they will have no shortage of volunteer pilots. :)
