    Electronic tech - or so our gub'mint would have you believe anyway. Past careers include bomb loader and "rough frame" carpentry.
    Luckily I've never worked fast food, but I've heard good things!

    Communications.

    I work for an agency where a 100k people use our system a day. It's my job to make sure they get the information they need, in whatever format necessary for the job (print, web, email, text message, social media, whatever), in a language they can understand (both translations and also just making sure it is in 'plain talk').

    I keep track of potential terrorists for the NSA. At the moment, I am charged with providing information on a small group of weed-using, gun-toting, godless, socialist, anarchist reactionaries who hide out on what they hope is an obscure website, hiding behind fake names that they think we can't see through. The information I have been able to collect over the past ten years has made it possible for a large number of them to be made to "disappear" already, and we are expecting to be able to round up the rest quite soon, perhaps as early as next week.

    Be afraid. Be very afraid.
