Hmmm, you're a Pscychoethanologist?

Either that or you work in a Bar :wink:

I tried that before. Too hard for me, and from your last sentence it seems like you're not too happy about it.
Other than having been through years of university and getting a piece of paper at the end, you're not too far from being a psychotherapist, you know :D

Yeah, I work in a bar. It's not so bad I suppose. Better than no money and being bored all day/night every day/night. And yeah, I've been told that I'd be a good counsellor, as I listen intently to ppl.

Hey, what's a few years and a paper? I was sorta close.
I just wish I could make it through four years of university with the proper amount/type of credits to form a usable degree! :roll:

Once in my life, I worked for a guy who owned several 'clubs' around Texas and New Mexico. The one I started at was called, "Cowboys", located in San Angelo, Texas, right across from the university.
This was back when the idea of 'responsible drinking' was to make sure you had enough booze to get everyone drunk 5 times over.

The students would pull into our parking lot, drop their tailgates (this was Texas, so everyone had a pickup) and sit outside the club to get drunk before coming in and getting... well... more drunk? I just know they spent more money that way and I got to break up more fights.

I eventually transferred to a club, owned by the same guy, in Abilene, Texas. This was the biggest bar I have ever seen (never been to Gilley's)!
We had 5 bars inside... seriously! I managed one of the bars for a while before quitting and moving on to jobs where I didn't have to deal with so many drunks :roll:

I'm guessing (actually, more like hoping) you're a surgeon, specializing in the digestive system.

Nah, I don't have the temper of a surgeon... well... actually I do, but I don't see myself as a prima donna! :P

Okay, for those who are still guessing and haven't read the earlier posts that identify what I do for a living...

The irony of this is that a foreigner is someone who is from another country that comes to your country,most military in the US and England are not fighting on their own soil and there for they are actually the foreigners killing the "natives".

So perhaps,you kill natives for a living AS a foriegner?

Goodness!, yes, you make me quite proud!

Maybe when I was in my own country, I was paid to kill foriegners, but when I got to thier country I was paid to kill natives?

The training wasnt that good actually, we just used to watch films of people of a differant culture being shot without being expected to know or care who they where, one of the reasons I left I guess.
