I'm a psychologist as well. My doctoral thesis has gone down the drain due to too many trips to India while I should have been doing research. I'm really a wannabe painter/artist. Sometimes. Right now I teach for a living...

Talking

Quite a few interesting professions….I recon a dialogue in a the novel ‘ The Saga of Dharmapuri’

The ousted king wanders in an alien kingdom with bizarre customs.

Someone asks him “…by the way what was your profession?”

He says, “Mine was a king’s job.”

The stranger exclaims “ interesting. People do so many kinds of jobs to make a living!”

vasko: I decided to finish my thesis FIRST before going to India! But my thesis is on memory, not indians! I'm curious about what you study--but if it's too painful to talk about, I fully understand!

Nick, in one of my landscaping projects, a housing development estate they dug out a large lake and I had to design and plant out most can't say all of the plants needed to get the wildlife nesting and living there as it was a really nice project but the cold water in NZ made me shift to Aust in 1997.

I'm a concert pianist (went to a musical academy) but work as a part-time SysAdmin person (my other hobby) as there are not many (paying!) jobs for pianists in Korea.

I'm a student in computer science and business administration and work parttime for Siemens as a programmer.
Additionally, as already mentioned by someone other, I'm also a nighttime Hindi student.
Next winter term I'll take a Hindi class at university, and I'll even get credit points for my studies
In fall 2006 I'll hopefully have finished my master thesis and then I'll move to India for some time,
either employed by an IT company, or 'self-employed'
