What do you do for a living?

This forum is for talking about non-music-related stuff that the DBT fanbase might be interested in. This is not the place for inside jokes and BS. Take that crap to some other board.

I teach people about cancer prevention and early detection -- employers, health care providers, insurance companies, organizations, etc. I also work in the political arena to advocate for better health care coverage for all people regarding prevention - and specifically for better coverage for cancer patients - for increased money for screening and research and for tobacco free policy

That is really cool CG. I'd love to be able to say "yall" to people from all over the world 8-)



Still incomplete like my high school short film "The Bionic Hippie" but I'm working on it thanks to some new shots
of the band, crew and associates of the band. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the year :roll:
Just have to finish the short film first in time for 35 yr class reunion. I ain't going but I'm sending the film.

Aside from my theater job, in real life I'm a litigation paralegal for a small family run firm. I had my first job interview in about 7 years today for a really nice guv'mt job. It went 90 minutes and kind of felt like a half-marathon. Please wish me luck!!
