On my side, I just got the ombudsman "job" for next year at my uni, very happy about it

Advanced master in business (but in practice it's economics), starting PhD next year.

Maybe my phrasing was bad, I meant student association, responsibilities, etc not your actual studies :P But it's nice to know who's in what.

Ah right. I was the student rep for my masters course. But with spare time being at a premium right now, I've dropped extra stuff like that.

Tho, I do (well, did, they finished the other week) have masters students to look after. There is some marking and demonstrating work. I also try and do as much outreach work as can be fitted in. Lots of fun little experiments and whatnot trying to keep/get school kids interested in science (this often happens at the uni, sometimes we go out to schools and get togethers and whatnot).

30+ years at three land-grant universities in video and audio production, teleconferencing, and for the past 12 years, running distance education programs. Currently Director of Learning Technologies for a Continuing Ed division...meaning if it moves electrons and it's not the website, it's mine to manage and keep working.

Working on my B.S., double majoring in Marketing and Management at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. It's my final semester, and I'm scared as hell about finding a job afterwards.

Double majoring in geography and history, while also seeking teacher certification. I'll be interning at a middle school in the fall, and then student teaching in the spring. I'm also Secretary of the Geography club, and president of the Geographical Honor Society.
