There you go. I'm in Surface, so thats probably why the Surface bent.

To bump this very old thread.

Interesting to read what everyone else does. How many have changed careers since 2006? Especially wondering about DFF and a couple others.

I own and operate my own design and build company (renovations), everything from full scale kitchen or baths to replacing a faucet. My current project is a wine cellar. I also Have my own line of wall decor (clocks and artwork) that I am developing and selling.

I have aspirations to start into a line of coffee tables, bed frames, headboards and lamps etc, featuring reclaimed/salvaged wood used in a modern setting. Lots of designs ready to go, I just have not gone into prototypes yet.

Yeah, there's actually been a lot of change in my life in 4 years. Back in 2008 I didn't even know my field existed. Probably switched around that time. Started taking some museum studies courses and am now working at Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. Currently as a project manager assistant. But I started there as a curatorial assistant helping to curate and install the exhibits.

I would like to get involved with evironmental consulting, or wildlife/habitat work though - so if anyone is hiring....

Lol... well I did it, I'm living the dream. I have been in consulting since about 3 months after this was posted.

That's an awesome job. When I was in university, I was seriously contemplating going and doing a Master's in Museum Studies/Conservation, but ended up in Archival Studies. I'd still love to work in a museum.
