Game Programming.

I started off wanting to be a 3D Model artist, but when I did programming at College I loved it and haven't turned back since. I'm currently at Uni studying computer games programming and I'm getting a job in London soon.

I like Finance. Believe it or not, understanding (and modeling) financial instruments is very very interesting.

I have experience in Enterprise Systems, and i like it too. The only problem are the non-programmers that you have to work with.

Maybe Academia (as the more specific branch that I'm interested in is not listed), although this is meant that I would be interested in contributing to some specific projects that personally interest me, not just being a code monkey for a professor (it would be work toward actually achieving a goal, or completing some software system, not merely making some toy programs so that the professor could write his paper and dump the project - instead it would be pursuing an idea fully to its completion, not just making a demo prototype - such projects tend to be either a mix between academia and commercial or open-source groups).

are produced from an improper union between so-called distinct species.  We
have also already seen that there is the closest similarity in all respects
between first illegitimate unions and first crosses between distinct
species.  This will perhaps be made more fully apparent by an illustration;
we may suppose that a botanist found two well-marked varieties (and such
occur) of the long-styled form of the trimorphic Lythrum salicaria, and
