    What does an "other" do? Does it require a degree?

    It does indeed. A BS in Cannabis Cultivation with a minor in Fermentation Sciences. If you don't think those are real degrees, google them. :)

    I was asking if anyone is in that field of study so that I could talk to them about how they like there job. I am just about to head off to college and go into mechanical engineering possibly specializing in aerospace.

    I sort of figured you for a Chippendale's guy, lol, but you don't have to post any pics.

    Seriously though, no pics.

    Nice Scottish I haven't met any professional fluffers before.

    I'm a transportation auditor, but really that translates to accounts receivable/payable.

    I am retired but was active in commercial real estate. Both as agent for the developer during construction and in the leasing side of the industry. That makes me an "Other".

    Next time you are at an airport or a shopping mall, look at the escalator, chances are I made some of the parts that you see when you are riding it. Or if you ever go to the capitol visitors center in DC, much of the bronze work was done by me and my coworkers.

    Wow, thanks for castin' your valuable votes, gang (42 votes so far ... very sweet)

    .... so far, one outta three is an IT-techy-engineery-type ...

    I guess that makes sense, eh?

    "fascinating" ...

    I found the list interesting, because many of my Numismatist associates are actively engaged in multiple professions. I believe that credible currency accumulation is enhanced by an understanding or practice of varying disciplines/professions.

    From many of the learned discussions I've viewed in this venue, I suspect that there are many others that also have been actively multi-discipled while enjoying the multiple sciences/arts and nuances related to Numismatics. I've found currency collecting to be a common denominator amongst multi-talented individuals.

    Since the selections seemingly assume mono-disciplinary employment, I suspect the category of "other" will be an apropos selection for many of the talented members I've viewed/met on this site.

    JMHO
