What do you TB'ers do for a living??

[RayG]

I got laid off after 22 years with the same company...so, I am unemployed.

Same result here. Eighteen years + three consulting at my last firm as a VP in the IT dept. We got bought and we got shown the door over a year ago.

Still looking, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for....

Regards--------------

Tires. Very tiring.

I work in Public Health research, specifically substance abuse treatment.

We seem to get busier every day!

Our founder/managing director is an inspirational man - he used to be a hippie living in a van before he founded the company, and now he's really making a difference to the country, maybe even the world.

That's awesome - If I was the science/engineering type I'd be trying to get into that field. In the meantime I'll just try to educate you and your co-workers about the merits of saving for retirement.

I'm afraid I'm not a science or engineering type, but there are plenty of those highly qualified types at the company.

My job is basically a whole load of Math from 8 til 5, 5 days a week. Keeps my brain active though.

Part-owner and Director of a biotech based company developing and marketing diagnostic tests....moved away from the sciencey stuff I originally trained in and now operations and marketing-find I enjoy the strategy and business more than the science these days.

I also think that it's hard for regular people to understand the engineering mind / process. It makes you into a crazy person. You just start measuring everything with calipers that go down to micrometers, and freak out when your 13th fret is 2 micrometers taller than your 12th fret, because in some cases, 2 micrometers mean the difference between being dead and alive.

I can't turn it off. I've definitely got the "Dilbert Knack" thing going. I've got to be into everything to figure out how whatever it is works. Drives everyone aronud me friggin' bonkers at times.

To think I live a hop skip and a jump away from the Nuclear Boy Scout!

Not to mention the crushing workload and the faculty actively trying to fail people out...

I can deal with hard-ass teachers. I left because of the workload. My ex wife was helping me get through engineering school. She left, and I was trying to swing engineering school, and working part time only making ~$800 a month on my own. It got hairy and quick, so I got out of school

I landed this job through a person contact, and I'm thriving doing media / advertising sales, so it worked out.

I wear a uniform for a living, and generally consider doors on vehicles to be an inconvenience.

That's why I went to engineering school. I've torn apart every guitar / bass / amp / cab I've ever owned, as well as a myriad of other things. Now I just do it for fun instead of for college / career, and I think I like it better that way.

I did 4 years in the Army as an infantryman and am now back to school majoring in microbiology. May end up heading toward physicians assistant or nurse practitioner.

+1000 Thanks for keeping our country safe!

My real name is Matt Tracker and I'm a millionaire playboy from a wealthy family, although I'm probably more famous for piloting the Thunderhawk for M.A.S.K. while keeping the world safe from the evil forces of V.E.N.O.M.

Im a vice squad agent, posing as a druggie musician to bust heads and bring down the crime element.

Though, I think I took too much. And Im losing my identity.
