I assume there are a lot of students/young'ns as well as industry people up in here.
Me? I'm a business intelligence/marketing web analyst for a search engine. I basically look at how our website performs relative to our marketing costs and how much revenue we bring in daily, monthly, quarterly, annually. Numbers, numbers and more numbers. I provide reporting data and actionable analyses based on the data.
Alas, I think I'd rather be outdoors, shredding, or doing something related to that. Any resorts looking to hire a BI analyst/manager who can report and optimize their marketing/media? I only ask for shredding days, working nights and a season pass...oh and some money. LOL

I do not have a job right now. In the winter, if I choose to continue it, I'm a lead /tester on the Breck Park Crew. I got a few other things up my sleeve, as Angry said, the Breck social networker is something I've been mentioned to about. So, who knows.
What would I rather be doing? I get paid to shred four days a week, have three off to do whatever I feel like doing. So, gosh, not really sure.

I work for the Writers Guild. I am in charge of credits. So, basically, when you see the credits roll on a movie or television show? Thats me. The companies have to get my stamp of approval before anything goes to the silver or small screen. I arbitrate disputes, titles, and everything else having to do with credits in the industry. What would I rather do? Shred of course... oh and collecting my winning lottery payments...
let me ask you a question honey....why do you put the credits before the movie starts, I gotta wait 20 minutes un previews then the movie doesn't even start because Joe bob boobaloob is in the movie and wants his name recognized eventhough he made 13 million to act...then mr boobaloob gets his name at the end too!! cmon dude, a surgeon saves lives daily, doesn't care if his name is on the medical record, and makes 10% of what a movie star makes? dont even get me started on rappers.... i went off on a tangient there, sorry, my original question..why are they at the beginning and end?
Awww man... there are a bunch of rules depending on the circumstance. Not all movies have credits in the begining (front titles). Some will have just the company and the rest in the back (end crawl). What happens is, if a certain person is contracted for a certain credit PLACEMENT, then the company has to oblige.
Front titles are considered most prominent, therefore more desired, with the producing companies, the writers and the stars.
The end crawl, you can find the caterers and the people who picked the gum off a star's shoes. It depends on how the companies want the credits and what the stars are contracted for. So you can have super long fronts, and then the super long end crawl because the gofer and his grandmother got a credit too.
I know exactly wht you mean about names appearing in a million places, I can say that is ALWAYS a problem, but sometimes unavoidable. Explanation:
Joe bob boobaloob, may be a writer, director, producer, and everything else in between, therefore earning him a credit in whatever department he worked in: Writing/Producing/Directing. Most times, this credit can be combined. There are certain circumstances tho, that dont allow for that, therefore his name appears several times.
There are also "Possesory credits" - i.e. A FIlm By Joe bob boobaloob. < I won't even TRY to explain this one....
Sometimes, what happens is "STAR Joe bob boobaloob" doesn't want to read a line on the script, and ad libs...then goes ahead and tries to get a writing credit because the ad libbed most of the movie...
NORMALLY, we try to keep a name from appearing a million times to a miminum. No one respectable in the industry likes their name plastered all over the place, its pretentious and what we call in the industry "very CLOONEY-ESQUE."
Did this make any sense???? LOL it can get complicated.

after reading this i felt 100 times dumber then i normally do. For one you used words i can't even pronounce. Second I thought they were just credits...you made it seem like it's hella important, which is awesome cuz you have enlightened me, 3 WTF did you just say?
LMAO. Yeah it's a complicated, egotistical, dirty business. But hey, that's how Hollywood rolls. Remember the writers strike?? This is what they were all on strike for, so yeah, it is hella important to them. Also, every credit determines what people get paid for in residuals too, I didn't even get into that aspect. No credits, no dollars. And no, I cannot sneak any names in there (lord knows mine would be in every movie and TV show if I could).
