What do you do for a living?

Retired in 2011 at 55. 34 years of service in the Carpenters Union gave me a bad back and million dollar pension. Got the back fixed and have been a Pattern Day Trader for the last 7 years. Nice to trade from home with no schedules.

 

I'm currently an Engineering Technician for a defense contractor. I program a robotic conformal coating machine used to ruggedize fighter jet electronics. I was in IT for 12 years before that doing everything from help desk tech to network tech to systems administrator.

 

After reading what everyone else does, I suddenly feel like Cousin Eddie and I dont want to play. LOL

 

Retired U.S. Navy submarines...CDR. Now - Dir. of HR.

 

Currently a parts advisor for Mclaren, Lamborghini and Aston Martin. I was a Service consultant for Lexus for 15 years before.

11 years this July at General Dynamics Land Systems. Civilian contractor for the army working with Strykers. When I first started, I was embedded with some units and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Now I'm on the fielding side issuing vehicles/BII to units all over the country. Basically a warehouse guy ordering parts and whatnot. Lots of inventory and keeping property books squared away. Best dead end job I ever had.

 

I do digital production for a high volume photography company. More of my work has shifted to IT/server admin of late. I also don't have a team anymore, so I'm doing all the work on the last set of jobs photographed before everything went to shit.

Manage 3500 machines with cellular based telemetry and maintain those links with the main server. I have been in the industry since 1980 and am respected in my industry circles.
