What type of work do you do?

This will be a surprise to all ... that's right, I'm just one more lawyer.

But I go after the big guys for screwing the little dude or dudette. I have a home office and no staff (technology is wonderful). I sue corporations mostly for various unlawful employment practices such as discrimination or wrongful discharge and also consumer protection law violations. It's so much fun making the big guys write checks. Heh-heh.

I'm a retired scientist, now a professional songwriter.

I'm a Bartender, my ears get sore sometimes but the stories are well worth it.

Also works mornings reading to Veterans from WWII who's vision is impaired.

Hmmm.... seem to have a problem with people who are visually impaired.:w::w:

I'm a forex trader and run a nutritional supplements website *psst want some pills*

I am a designer/craftsman/metalsmith
I have a flyfishing/guide/outfitting business
I play upright bass in a blues band in beerjoints and the occassional festival.

It's all good!!!!

I am an OSP (outside plant) Design Engineer for SBC/AT&T. I design the fiber and copper cable plant that you use everyday for phone and broadband services.

Yay me... =(

By trade I am a machinist, but got out of it for a while. I would probably only get back into it as a hobby or my own business, but currently I work as a CNC plasma cutter operator at a steel service center. I don't consider it machining as it is like hacking steel very crudely.

Soon I will become a millionare as Bill Gates gives me the money he owes me.

I'm a Auditor and security for a hotel/resort. I basicly put numbers on spread sheets, fix others mistakes, make sure people arent in places they shouldnt be and read the ATS message boards all night.

In April I graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, but I don't currently have a job yet, though I am looking. Right now I am staying with mommy and daddy...

I've worked doing landscaping, security, warehouse, and those were all sucky jobs, lol. I've got some funny stories about the security one, but due to privacy reasons, I can't talk about them. I worked in a hospital doing security for three summers, and one of them was full-time in the psychiatric ward, which was interesting, to say the least!

The kind of job I want to do in EE is either design or research. Of the ones who have my resume right now, Eleven Engineering, who actually asked to see my resume after seeing my design presentation at school, and Micralyne are the two that I really hope I get either one of. Eleven does a bunch of EE design, mostly for wireless, and actually made a wireless controller for the Playstation, so they know what they're doing. Micralyne does a bunch of MEMS and other microfabrication type technology.

Someday I might go back to school and get either a masters or do some more undergrad, like in physics or something, but for now, I want to get some money, because I'm dirt poor and can't afford to go back. If I was a millionaire, I'd probably be a professional student or something like that.

Im an "automotive technician", otherwise known as a mechanic. Mechanic is such a dirty word though

I fix cars, coming next tuesday (new job, woot!)I'll be working on some high end stuff, merc, jag,bmw, porsche, etc...
As of right now Im an automotive electrical specialist. Say that 10x fast, heh.

I'm a college student majoring in human services/gerontology (the study of old people, to put it in simpler terms)
I currently work in a nursing home as an occupation therapist assistant. I enjoy my job and the stories my patients have to tell of the "good 'ole days."
Many people think that old people are crabby, crazy, and uncapable of relating to younger people...in my working with them, I have found these stereotypes to be far from the truth. The elderly are great, you can learn a hell of a lot from them.

I am a computer engineer. I drive around to various businesses fixing problems, carrying out installations/upgrades etc. Its not a bad job

This thread is invasive and really has nothing to do with conspiracys of any sort. It belongs in BTS at best. What someone does for a living is not indication of what type of person they are, it's just a job.

Wow, it looks like we have a lot of geeks on ATS I'm hearing a lot of people working with computers, engineering, and college students. You guys are all too smart for me. I haven't even gone to college yet .

Well, I've basically finsished school now, then I'm going to go to college for a year, then join the British Army as an Ammo Technician.

I can tell you my ex- jobs.

Airline Industry- you name it. Stewardess, Info and Reservations, ticketing

Computer World/PC World telecommunications analyst (Publishing)

Right now- House wife engineer.

This summer- selling burgers at the beach! Oh, and Donald Duck inflatable tubes for the little ones. Funny- THIS job, will pay me more than the airlines!!! Go figure!

Um...It is in BTS, you are posting in BTS.

Invasive? Its voluntary, it’s not invasive by definition.

And I will reserve my last comment as it would most likely jeopardize my ability to continue posting. But it was quite funny...


Back to the topic:

I also have a small web based Tee Shirt business specializing in video gaming shirts, make the shirts all by myself!

I am the CFO/CIO for a scrap metal company. My undergraduate degrees are in accounting and computer science. My graduate degree is an MBA-Accounting. That said, I am not a normal accountant! I played football through college and do not resemble the stereotypical accountant.

My interest in UFOs comes from my father's occupation as an aerospace engineer for Martin (Martin Company, Martin Marietta). Wherever the missiles were, we lived there!

Hehehe...! That was funny!!! (Sounds like someone is embarrassed about his profession...)

Interesting to see what professions allow enough time to hang out at ATS all day.

I am the "Systems Manager" for two sister companies. Big meaningless title that basically means I get to sort out all the IT problems. Yaaawn. The more exciting part is doing (technology) research and development for new projects for IT solutions we develop.

Part time, I'm a freelance photographer - but no $$$ there. But I'll get there. Eventually.

Surprised not many electrical engineers, they could help debunk/validate all of those ufo post's on ATS! before i got into computers and game dev i took classes in electrical engineering. Was pretty boring so i stopped and went on to architect, then got into CAD and started to mess around with maya and max, now its all i do.
