I am a civil engineer...

open up a custom rod shop That is my absolute dream job, but I am realistic (and maybe too scared) to try that right now... I have a family and a house, and know that starting your own business can be very tough (especially anything car-related in California)... At this point in life, I won't risk my families well-being just so I can "play" at my dream-job. I know most of the cars in the shop would be my own...

If I was young and single again, I'd definitely go that way...

I am a Quality Engineer (got moved from R&D due to new budget cutbacks) at a medical device company.

Automotive Engineer, Unfortunatly, honda is one of my biggest customers, we all know how they are in the performance area. :rolleyes:

I do custom woodworking. Built-ins, book shelves, cabinets, counter tops, custom furniture, I'm self employed so I can take off when I need to to do more important things like CB04, Maryland, graemlins/hurray.gif graemlins/beers.gif My wife is a special education teacher so she knows how to deal with "people" like me...

Parts Department Manager- Yamaha,Kawasaki,Polaris,Sea-Doo,Cannondale(ATK now)Dealership.

Broadcast engineer at a New York television station.

Collateral Examiner for a bank. I audit client's accounts receivables for quality and collectibility. Lots of travelling involved smile.gif

U.S.C.G. Marine Inspector. I inspect commercial vessels, both foreign and U.S. owned. We also inspect any ship that carries more than six passengers for hire. I sailed for 16 years prior to becoming an inspector, its sure nice to be able to go home at night.

Diffusion Furnace Tech for HP in their printer division. Also part-time F-15 Avioncs tech for OR Air National Guard. Been to some cool places (Iceland, Panama, Denmark, San Diego) and some not so cool places (but still interesting).

Chemist, I manage a quality control lab in the plastics industry.

Dream Job - Street/Strip Rides 'R' US

Do future occupations count? I'm only 17 and currently work with my dad with his plumbing/heating/AC company. I kind of want to work in a machine shop though. I plan to be an anesthesiologist though (most people go :eek: at that point), but if that falls through then I can see myself being found in a machine shop.

I'm a Police Officer.

SCADA (supervisory control and data aquistion) System Manager.

I design/install/service medium to large venue sound systems, and also the CCTV systems that accompany them. I'm also a licensed "Limited Power" Journeyman in MN and a member of IBEW Local 292. When we're slow I also do all the CAD work for our shop.

U.S.C.G. Marine Inspector Wow this is the second TC/ACES Coastie I have found out about today, Chevelle World Mag cover car is a Coastie.

USCG BM1 here, I am the XPO of an Aids to Navigation team in Venice La. I've been driving boats for 13+ years now, and happy to do it!

Title is System Specialist-Hardware

None-Retired. Former telephone company engineer. Doesn't pay too well but I love it.

A&P Mechanic for an Airline, Its been good to me but I have been lucky! I would stay away from this line of work! There are plenty of good careers for Mechanics and techs just stay away from the aviation ones.

Wow i always knew i was in the right place. So many engineers.
As for me im a soon to be Mechanical Engineer student. Over the summer i work full time for my dad in the carpentry buisness.

Machinist, it's getting pretty busy too, around here again

Right now m a water well driller, im 22 still young, going to UTI in houston in June to learn to be a mechanic, emphasis on performance building. Hopefully when im done with school ill open my own buisness. My buddy is body work grad, we plan on opening a restoration shop/speed shop. Not sure if it will fly but im young enough to try it without worrying about starving a family.

Machinist of about 10 years and a meat cutter, for 6 years, before that. How is that for a career change. But hey, I trippled my money in the first 3 years. If you plan on more schooling, I don't suggest the machinist route. It is a good job and great money, but if you go to school, you can make, at least, as much and not work the odd-ball hours. At least around here the machine shops run mostly 2-3 shifts daily.

I have a Tool & Die shop.....design and build Dies , Gages, Special Machinery, etc.......we were dead in the water for two years and now we can't get the guys to work enough hours to keep up.... smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

That was for entertainment industry software. It was real cutting edge, never seen before stuff. Too bad they ran out of money and shut the doors before they completed it. :(

I've been doing system admin since 1986 (U.S. Air Force)..AT&T Unix, HP-UX. With XP, Novell, etc. they really all integrate now.

We just purchased 2 new boxes this year, and just when you think you were "fast" before, wow!, thses new ones are 3-4 times faster in just a 4 year time frame.

We have about 15 branches, some as far away as about 25 miles, and we are real-time...meaning you go into a branch and take out money, that transactions travels back to this ONE computer and posts...

Most banks "batch" process. The vendor for our sftware supports Win2K, AIX, and HP-UX. HP-UX is for the "bigger" clients and there's hundreds of them running HP-UX, so I would say overall in the career field, there's plenty out there.

I left a good contracting job as a HP-UX system Admin a few years back...good money...easy work, but was never comfortable with the whole "contract renewal" process.....

You can add me to the list of "Computer Geek". Currently doing web based database application using Oracle running on multiple Linux servers.

Wilbur, happen to know Rocky (can't remember his last name at the moment, could be Shrade?) or Ellen Hicks? If so, say hi for me. smile.gif

As for me, Manufacturing/Design Engineer at a Aerospace company. Some of my stuff is on quite a few satellites (including Hubble), the space station, on the shuttle, etc. Also have a few parts on military aircraft, dabbled on the aircraft side before moving over to the space stuff, which has one big advantage: lots of scrap/out of date carbon fiber at my fingertips for "home projects." graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Also, fly-by-night sysadmin and techie for small companies owned by friends, Windows and Unix stuff mostly, and if they're really desperate, I'll touch their Netware boxes. tongue.gif

I spent ten years maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing power systems on a single drilling rig (and helping others on their rigs within the fleet).

Now I'm maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing more advanced power systems on many different drilling rigs in South Texas. I can't help but love working on 1200 Amp Variable Frequency A/C Drives (especially after working with DC all those years). :D

I run my own rig leased out to united van lines.

I could make a career out of just reading all the postings in this topic. ;)

I am a Combustion Turbine Technician for the largest electric utility in Nebraska. Basically I work on jet engines that are used to spin a generator to produce electricity. Also I am a Boom Operator for the Nebraska Air Guard part time. In that job I refuel other airplanes, all while traveling at 300 MPH and 20,000 feet above the ground. Hopefully I will make that my full time job again here in a few months.

Wow, this thing is really rolling along smile.gif

I would do this for nothing - I just this past week found a guy a 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniv Edition with 77 miles on it. Owner drove it home from the Chevy dealer and parked it. Got it wholesale for my client - what a rush!
