Hey All!
During my time here at Celticsblog, I've noticed that many bloggers come from vastly different backgrounds. I've seen everything from entertainers to laborers to academics posting on here, and it's really interesting that something like a sports team can gather together so many differing walks of life, ideologies, and lifestyles under a common interest.
That being said, I thought it'd be pretty interesting to create a thread where we each name and discuss our career/occupation to see just how far Celtics basketball can penetrate these differing walks of life.
I'll start. Right now I'm a doctoral student in healthcare ethics at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I also work at Duquesne's Center for Healthcare Ethics as a Graduate Research Assistant where I'm currently doing research/grant-writing in the area of the Indian healthcare perspective in a Western context. Upon finishing my doctorate, I will probably find work as a clinical ethicist in a hospital or a professor in a bioethics, philosophy, or theology department at a university, though I'd gladly take a high-paying corporate ethicist or hospital management position, too.
On a side note, my (current) dream job is to be able to support myself by writing, both fiction and non-fiction. I have no particular area that I want to stick to, because I've wrote small pieces on everything from political commentary to philosophy/bioethics to fantasy. I'm currently working on my own fantasy novel, with underlying philosophical themes, that I hope to get published within the next year or so.
How about you? What do you do for a living? If you would prefer to do something else, what would you choose to do?
