there isnt a choice for "I'm only doing this until I figure out what I want to be when I grow up, but it pays the bills"?

bummer, man.
I would have voted for that one.

My title sounds better than what I am paid.  I am assistant to the Manager of Exports Department at a large logistics company.  I am responsible for logistics on shipments to Oman and Tunisia, as well as the Department of State.  And its definately not what I want to do, as what we ship is against my morals.  Basically it pays the bills.

I was previously a structural steel welder/fitter for a shop in southern Utah, where I started building the structural bones for a few buildings on Nellis Airforce Base (formerly known as a section of Area 51), and I fabricated galvanized steel structures for The Alaskan Gold Company ships, oh and I welded quite a few 4" thick steel i-beams specifically for Bass Pro (California regulated, earthquake safety etc.) By a few, I mean I spent 2 hot as fuck summer months, and 4 cold ass winter months standing most of the day with a rosebud in my hand.  Those are the three major companies I remember welding for.  Oddly did a lot of welding on the steel my Dad's company manufactured, and had no clue that I was for like half the time I was working there.  I just told Nick the other day I found this out after I made a steel rebar golf club for my Dad for father's day, when he noticed that it had his company's numbers on it.

Prior to that I was a customer service representative, a retail manager and etc. etc.

My goal is to work for a comicbook/toy distributor.

this was all in the last jobs (11years) starting in '97 from current to past.

-Intel Development Fab perfecting the processes that make the wafers what they are and then pass it on to the HVM (High Volume Manufacturing) Fabs. I've been here for 4years now.

-FEI Company configuring the computers for the wafer/defect analysis tools which were Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). Anything that had to do with a computer, it was my doing. 2years

-Bestbuy working in the Tech/Service Area as it was the only job I could find because of 9/11. Had an interview for Flight Dynamics (Rockwell Collins) that would have had me working on the HUDS (Heads Up Guidance Display Systems) and the Surface Guidance Displays systems. Was to be hired, but job freeze was everywhere. if only I didn't have the interview on 9/11. 1year

-U.S. Navy, Aviation Electronics Technician working on the AN/ALQ-99 Electronic Warfare System on the EA-6B Prowlers. Basically the Waveform Generators (Exciters) that controlled all of the signals outputted to the RADAR transmitters.  yes, I came out with disability as well. -4years
