American Freepers - What's your job?

[Tomalak]

Free Republic has something of a reputation in many circles as being home of raving mad fanatics or rednecks like Cletus from The Simpsons. What always strikes me though is how smart, thoughtful and well-read the average Freeper is. It's not just compared to the stereotype, but to almost any news forum. Take the forums on Democratic Underground or The Guardian. You'd expect the Liberal Elite to be out in force there. But all you really see are morons who can't reason or think or handle argument.

So I want to know a bit more about the average Freeper. What job do you have? How badly wrong is the stereotype compared to what you acually are?

I'm a headhunter and if any of my fellow freepers need some assistance drop me a private reply and I'll see if I can help!

Whew...glad it isn't the 'Ministry of Silly Walks"...

LOL! If you knew me, you'd see some truth to that. I can't get from the kitchen to my desk without losing 1/2 my cup of coffee. Can't explain it - I just walk silly.

Take a look at profiles, a lot of them mention occupations. I'm a Quality Engineer and a part time bouncer (very part-time lately).

It seems like there's a lot of engineers and tech people on here. As a breed I think we tend to be conservative, we realize that "good intentions" won't hold up a bridge or make a computer run.

I'm definitely no redneck...LOL. I like a lot of rap and can't stand country. >:)

I've often thought we should have some sort of business networking chapter.
