Poll: What's your profession?

Manage medical practices. Currently a community mental health clinic. I use MS products because I was sick of paying the "apple tax" for a stagnant product that didn't allow me to incorporate the various hardware/software I use at work and home.
 
Cloud Systems Design Architect. IT Consultant prior. Been on MS phones since PPC2003 Phone Edition. Passed on WP7 as it was too consumer-oriented and lacking key features. Got an LG Quantum once WP7.5 arrived as the Quantum was the only WP on ATT with a keyboard and it had a free tethering hack. I will not be moving to WP8 unless a device with keyboard is produced, which is fine. I am very happy with the Quantum and don't see much about WP8 to be excited about. In fact, they depricated one of my favorite features which was wireless sync. All I really would like is more onboard storage as I don't use cloud services, ironically. I do like Nokia's Optical Image Stabilization and wireless charging. Having a camera with a good zoom is the next feature I'm hoping comes someday.
 
Military strategist/Tactician.

I like the lumia 920, except for the battery life. I do a lot of video calls and conferencing and the battery drains pretty quick. Other than that, the phone is extremely practical.
 
Technical Support Rep for AT&T. Iphone 4 was my first smartphone believe it or not. Thought the iPhone 5 was coming with something great, but it was the same as the 4s just longer. Thought about the S3 but not a fan of Android. So went home to Windows. Now I have everything Microsoft except a tablet, which I will have when the Surface Pro comes out.
 
Right now, I'm unemployed but going round recruitment agencies out the wazoo to try and get a job. The aim is to become a photographer as well as work in the radio industry, while also being a live DJ. Yes, in the end I want to have 3 jobs at once! As the live DJ/photography will be self-employed, I'll be aiming to work 120 hours a week across all 3.

Edit: Oh strood I should probably add Windows Phone 7 development in there too! I've dabbled in programming before *glares at Adobe Flash CS4* but I aren't overflowing with experience. Currently trying to teach myself Silverlight, C#, and Visual Basic.

BIM Implementaton Manager. So Bit of 3D CAD, animations, presentations, paperwork, big chunk of IT, more paperwork and lots and lots of meetings

Edit - Better add in app development as well for windows 8 seen a few holes for work related possibilities so currently self learning Visual Basic and a bit of C#. Not getting paid for it yet but will hopefully soon be a big part of my day to day job.

Telecommunications Estimator. I price out networking systems in commercial eniviroments. Buried in blueprints all day.
 
Used to be a security guard, but currently a student. Studying to be a priest in some years time.

As a student the office integration, cloud and syncing is just really great. I miss a lot of features from Symbian, but generally speaking I really like the user experience on WP8
