    I'm a Clinical Data Associate I (CDA I). I work on the data portion of clinical trials conducted by pharmaceutical companies. While it sounds nice, the pay it pretty sub-par. image I do have a side hobby of playing poker which has helped pay for my coin and element collection. (Though I wouldn't call it another job since I don't make enough to report it to the IRS. I just make enough playing poker to not have to pay for things like gas in my car, some food and some beer). I have a B.S. in Forensic Chemistry, but thanks to that OJ bandwagon I graduated college right when the job market was horrible. It's been a few years now since I was deep into my forensics studies that I have little confidence that I can get a job in the forensics field over someone who just graduated from college with that type of degree. image
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    Nope, don't mean a thing.

    It always amazes me to hear what people do for a living and I have no idea what they are talking about.

    Having said that, I'm a title examiner and 9 out of 10 have no clue what that's all about eitherimage
