Like Yankee Girl, I'm an engineer (in my case, electrical) by training, but went over to the dark side into management. After more than a year of having two jobs (they couldn't find anyone to do what I was doing before I went into management) I had enough and decided to "retire" as soon as I turned 55. Basically, I had planned for my future without them but they had failed to plan for the future without me. So now I'm a consultant working an average of 4 days per week.

Should I select "Skilled Labor" or "Unskilled Labor"?
I suppose that would depend on your level of skill.

Student at UH (Construction Management) and retail at a grocery store. Career fair is coming up in a month so the retail job will be getting the boot. For the record most construction jobs are skilled labor (drywall, roofing, electrical work, etc.).

I used to be a professional musician, and now play for the fun of it. Technically, I'm an Audio Engineer, both in a studio/live environment, as well as an audio/video designer for churches, schools, and private organizations. (No I don't design speaker boxes for car stereo's
)
It's hard to truly describe exactly what I do without a lot of technical jargon, so I'll put it this way... People pay me to make things sound good, and/or design things that sound good.

For another few (very few) months, I will be a federal civil servant, working in the "space biz" (Space Shuttle operations and training).
Soon I will be retired, likely continuing to be a part-time flight instructor.
