you've got to remember i don't pay taxes working for them as a full time student and it being a public university. also they are extremely flexible with my schedule...i basically get to make my own schedule.
i hate the job because it's so mindless, same a lot of factory jobs....
i don't want to be just a "picker-putter"....basically a robot that moves things from point a to b.
i want something more along the lines of the design faze.....or thinking of better ways to do things....of being more efficient.
i want to be an artist...but dont' know how to support my self while doing that.

You want a supervisory job then, usually they are hard to get but with your background you may get extra consideration if you have experience in that field or a similar one as a picker-putter. Is this sound right? A lot of jobs are picking and putting, the plan I had sounds like it's grandiose and requires a lot of planning, but in practice there is a little planning and a lot of picking/putting. This is good though, I like the exercise.

economist may be a poor choice for you at first. Don't get me wrong, I've thought of doing it too and if I coulda got a job managing a resource or environmentalist themed resource investment fund. I woulda loved it and done well, but In the end there is a lot of the profession where you are doing the bidding of others and it becomes painful and monotonous.
