"Do you have a job?" Of course! Universities have this awesome invention called "tenure". In the US it means they can't kick you out unless they close down the Department. In most of Europe it means they can't kick you out. In the UK it means nothing because they elected Thatcher :).
Anyway, I'm a professor of mathematics in an Italian university. The pay is low but the job security is comforting. And I get to teach about Emmy Noether's work every year, which is amazing.
I'm awed by artists, of any kind. Arts usually require the use of one's hands, and I'm the clumsiest person ever.
