My Dad is a physicist/software engineer. He writes simulators for integrated circuits. My mother does volunteer work, and has just started a small music education business.

I am pursuing my PhD in Chemistry at the University of Washington, and am financially independent.

My dad deals with all things dealing with computers over at Racing Champions. He's supposed to only deal with the mainframes, but it called on to help with everything from simply pc problems to networking.

My mom is a psychiatric nusre. My dad is a sales rep for AMD, symantec, logitech, and a few other big tech companies. Basically his job is to hang out in best buy for an hour or two each day.

My dad is a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer (thats the "official" term, it means he fixes planes). Right now he's in Taiwan, apparently theres some new regulations over there and now he's the only one outside the US qualified to overhaul this plane. My mum is a desktop publisher, she works from home. Unfortunately, neither parent is in a position to get free stuff. I am a full-time student, which means I have no job and sponge off my parents. In 4 years, I'll hopefully be starting a career in computer systems engineering.

My Dad is a plumber and my Mum is a housewife. One of my brothers is an electrician, so I've got everything I could need for my apartment; the water, gas, electric, and housework are all covered. ;o)

My mum was a nursery nurse then secatary and now a sales manager for some craft company.

My dad is a CNC machine programer/operator he worked for Cosworth for a while on the F1 engines he's also worked on jet engines for planes and on cruse ship engines in Norway but now he lives in Canada and works on something I dont know cos I havent spoke to him in a while.

I live with my mum while I'm at college doing a graphic design course and am kinda supported by her cos I have a job and pay rent.

Used to live with my dad in Canada for a while doing the MCSE and CCNA courses but I ended up getting kicked out of college cos I could nologer afford it so I helped my dad to program the CNC machines

He, most of you seem to have pretty [wealthy] backgrounds. (As in you pups are Brokers and stuff) When im older Im gonna do Computer Science (Huge demand and very high pay). My mom doesnt earn that much from her lil' business so most of the net comes from my Dad, whos a Chartered Secretary (Does legal work etc.) , and I think he is pretty high payed (Ie, average middle class income is R15,000 -> R20,000, and my dad earns +- R30,000.)






I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

My dad is a cold blooded assasin, who hunts down "freedom haters" for big money. He used to take me along as a kid, sometimes, and let me play 'cleaner'.

My mom is a robotic deep sea welder.
