What do you guys do for work?

I troubleshoot desktop computers at a call center for a major computer manufacturer.

-Dave

Telecommunications Engineer in charge of telephone switch maintenance and programming; voicemail; network cabling and connectivity; and audio/visual tech. And a part-time Grouch.

I'm the Training and Operations officer for my army reserve unit. I handle the planning and logstics for drill weekends, deployments, training missions etc. I work during the week as a civilian, during the drill weekends (the one weekend a month deal) I'm a first lieutenant. I should be promoted to Captain by the end of this month.

I also get paid to jump out of perfectly good airplanes.

Supreme Ruler of the Universe :D

and in my spare time I'm a graphic artist for a mid-tier defense contractor

IT Manager for a small bank. Was an IT consultant but when the bank got big enough...

I'm a student, studying music. I was working at a restaurant as a waiter/host, but I quot that job to concentrate on college. Now I volunteer at a local middle school/high school, and give lessons on bass through there.

I am a student, studying geology and geography.

Geology?

That's what I studied and am now doing. A whole bunch of geologizing.:cool:

Actually it's environmental geology that I do these days.

Studying right now, but I used to bartend.. fixing up drinks is quite fun I might add..

University student, majoring in Electrical Engineering.

Currently getting my ass kicked in calculus and geometry, eventhough I have never studied this hard in my life.

I'm in the Air Force.

but you all knew that already.

at night, I become the worlds preeminent mexican superhero:

THE AVENGING SOMBRERO.

i mark underground utilities for AT&T and Charter

That's what I studied and am now doing. A whole bunch of geologizing.:cool:

Righteous, where did you study? I really enjoy it, but I dont know what I want to specify in, although I am a fan of optical mineralogy/petrography, albeit not too great at it yet.

My last job was out in California at a petro-chem plant doing fire and safety inspections, and taking fire watches for missing employee's. It was gritty and rough but it was a lot of money! I am actually a retired Front End Manager and Trainer for a Super Market chain locally...........All the rules, regulations and specifics of being trained for each position in the company was all my responsibility from scratch and all the training manuals still in use there today were my blood, sweat and tears!..My husband is a Boiler Maker/ Rigger/Class A!

Rat, I was pretty darn close to that. I emphasized metamorphic petrology which, of course, involved a lot of optical mineralogy and petrography. It was really fun stuff and I did quite a bit of tectonic interpretations using metamorphic facies. Besides that, we got to do a lot of field trips with camping and drinking!:cool:

Oh yeah, I studied and received my degree at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Home of the world-famous Pink Lincoln!

Geez, Network janitor, uh, Network Administrator.
In charge of the firewalls, antivirus servers, dns servers, Microsoft update servers and other stuff nobody else wants to do.

Unemployed at the moment:(

i am an electrical engineer, emphasis in digital design and integration on FPGAs (VHDL). DSP, control and communication interfaces.

my other job is trying to help my wife keep up with our soon to be 3 year old (and his little brother due in january).

At the moment I work part time as a Stagehand with the I.A.T.S.E Local here in Toronto. Basically setting up the lights, sound, rigging ect... for theatres and large stage shows.

Recently I've worked on the Eagles and Tom Petty's tour when they came by ol' T.Dot.

Tomorrow I get to wake up a 6AM to do Alan Jacksons load in, then back in at 11:30 to work till 2ish in the morning, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's the most amazing job an 18 year old can hope for, good money, good benefits and really mind bogglingly cool!

that's cool who... let me know what you think of Alan- I don't know a lot of his music, but what I've heard, especially his cover renditions impressed me....

Same here.

Lawn mower mechanic... nice work if you can avoid it.

IT Consultant. Boring.

I build recycling/document destruction trucks.

Automotive Technician here.

That is when I'm not trying to figure out how to play this thing I started on 38 years ago.

I guess that 32 year hiatus didn't help now, did it.

LowDown:cool:

I am a draftsman for a local electrical contractor. I also handle document control. Basically I download and sort blueprints and set them up in the system for the estimators to bid on before they go to the draftsman. (me :D ) I am also currently a student on the never ending plan to be a middle school English teacher. If I stick to it I've got about 3 years to go. I've been at it a lot longer than that. :)

I imagine he looks something like this

Anyway, that's what I'd like to be paid for ^ , 3d artwork, games...

But instead I make signs, stickers, sometimes I get to do new artwork but alot of it's just regurgitated artwork that I have to clean so it'll cut/print correctly.

As little as possible, it cuts into my layin' around time...

...when forced to do something , I'm an aerospace company parts-boy.

I'm infantry in the Army. Trying to finish college so I can go to the dark side and become an officer, and also like to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, though being mechanized doesn't give me the opportunity to. Want to try Ranger school when I get home, but we'll see how that works out.

I'm retired and do part-time counseling over at the local county mental health office.

Holy dammit, BP, I didn't know you were an officer. Sorry, can't sell you my pedal now. Just as a basic principle thing. Nothing person. ;) Jusssss kiddin'! :)

I'm a self-proclaimed marketing and small business consultant.

I operate offset printing presses . Small union shop thats not doing well right now. I am down to 5-6 hours a day. Times are tough.

. Most people don't take me for an officer when they first meet me. I guess it's because I don't walk around like my sh*t don't stink. I'm pretty sure I've said it more then once on this forumThen again, who actually listens when officers talk?

huh, what?

Holy crap, officers talk?

Transportation Specialist/Customer Service Technologist - I drive cab.

I also do graphic design, computer repair and can drive truck.

Manual and CNC machining, fabrication, and assembly of many different product lines. It's not what I wanted to do when I grew up but it's kept me well fed and out of the weather for years

I've had the priviledge of seeing really good old-time machinists at work. Really amazing what they can do. A great marriage of art and science.
