What do you do for a crust?

I wish I could work. Went to school for welding but last year of high school ended up with a pace-maker so that dream was shot down. Now I try and enjoy my 'early retierment' as best I can

[Tusken RTT]

I am a Radiation Therapist at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.  I started early, so I can actually retire in 5 1/2 years at age 51!  The job has been really rewarding, but I will have a chance to get into something else soon, more hobby related, where I wont have to worry about what it pays.  That's the plan anyway!

I'm a Deputy Sheriff. Unfortunately the most hated profession in America, it seems. I've been a cop for a bit over 17 years.

 

I'd much rather wear my plastic armor than my real armor though.

 

Hey, I just was pulled over yesterday and got a ticket by our NYS Troopers. Most people seem to make it unpleasant experiences for themselves, but we all have jobs to do and it doesn't make sense to be nasty to any officer. From my point of view, there is not hate for your profession, only admiration. Much appreciation goes to you and Dark CMF, and anyone else providing that type of service for me and my Family. Sorry, I'm done with that. Not a fan of that viewpoint.

 

Anyway, the company I work for does Federal and state contracting. I mostly do Medicare and California Worker's Comp stuff. Sit at a computer all day working and researching on FISD while I wait. Working here shows me that the Government really really does not spend it money wisely.

I served 8 years in the U.S. Air Force as an avionics system specialist on F-16 and F-117 fighter jets (they basically have the same avionics package).

Radar, radios, GPS, ring laser gyro navigation, digital flight controls, radar threat warning systems, electronic countermeasures, etc...

I've been all over the world and spent a year in Kuwait during/after the Gulf War, but fortunately, never spent any time crawling around in the woods.

 

I got out of the Air Force because all my friends were earning A LOT more money than me (mistake! - job satisfaction is worth A LOT more than money!).

I went to work as an avionics technician for United Airlines at Chicago O'Hare airport.

I ended up seeing some "scary" work being signed off by other technicians and leaving the gates, so I decided to look for a career change.

 

I did lots of things to make ends meet in between jobs, including Canon copier technician, QA lab at an industrial powder manufacturer and concrete construction. 

 

I finally took a controls engineering job for Union Carbide/Praxair and I've been moving around within the company ever since.

Right now, I work in a centralized control room optimizing the production of liquid/gas oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, krypton, xenon and neon for 10 facilities.

 

What's crazy to me is I don't have a degree, but they have me using my experience to teach/train chemical engineers fresh out of college.

On paper, I'm not even qualified to replace myself!

I'm a Linux systems administrator (think Snowden) by education but recently I've managed to reach my childhood dreams and thus -

I work as a consultant in IT security. Usually as a "penetration tester". This is basically a fancy term for "hacker". But it's at the same time a lot less glamourous than what most people think it is.

 

Basically, a customer of my company hires us to find problems with their website or product (usually before launch) and they let us "hack" it so that we can write them a report telling them what is wrong with their site/product and how they can best fix it before the "bad guys" get there first.

[usaeatt2]

Must be cool to describe your occupation with terms like "hacker" and "penetration tester".

These were your childhood dreams?  No fireman/policeman/soldier phase?

I wanted to drive a tractor/trailer rig or be a garbage man when I was a kid...

[Garbz[TK]]

I sell jewelry at Jared. I sell mostly colored gems and watches... Great job except I miss out on most weekend trooping events.

Yeah they were, and it does lift a couple of eyebrows at parties when I'm asked what I do. But the PC-answer is just "IT security consultant". But we in the business might just as well describe ourselves as copywriters, based on you much time I spend in open-office writing reports based on your findings during the test.

 

The report is the most important thing of any assignment, as that is often all that you leave behind for the customer once you're done. So in a sense, that's what they pay you for.

You do an admirable job, respect to you and anyone dealing with the general public, and the scum out there on a daily basis.

You may not be serving my community or country, but you are making a difference to people's lives.

See now I've been doing CAD for 11 years and never thought about that.

12 years in the Royal Air Force as an airframe technician.

 

Now I work as a subsea controls and communications specialist in the oil and gas sector

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

Never quite got to my goal of "All master of time, space, and dimension", so I became a sailor, then an artist/muralist, then a restaurateur, then a chef, and now I own a construction/remodeling company.  Thinking about making a tool pouch out of ABS for my armor, and showing up at a clients door dressed as a TK.  Just can't seem to figure out how to make a butt crack in my posterior plate.

[Chip]

28 years as an RAF Aircraft Engineer (Avionics) done a variety or roles in my time; various helicopter types, software programming duties, Electronic Warfare systems and instructing duties. Don't tend to get my hands on the hardware anymore, more shuffling emails and paper miss getting stuck in and getting my hands dirty.

[bobojuice]

I process and manage Video On Demand operations and digital media for a content distributor. This includes but is not limited to copious amounts of pornography.

 

We also do major motion pictures, kids content, karaoke, TV stuff. It's mostly sent to Latin America and the Caribbean, but we also have a contract with a very large provider of hotel systems for in room porno. That all topped off with a generous helping of IT work.

 

My next plan is to start a brewery in South Florida. I'm hoping to have that up and running in the next year or two and then I'll be switching over.

[MinionTK[TK]]

Work for a plumbing wholesaler as an inside sales rep in Toronto. Nothing too exciting as some other jobs I read on here, but this is really cool to see what everyone else does besides serving The Empire 

[zebedee[TK]]

Studied computer science, joined the reserves (back then it was called the Territorial Army) when I graduated, and got a job working in the local Jaguar garage.  After 3 years I quit and joined a large British broadcaster, and have worked my way through IT support to now building and supporting web servers.

I still think back wistfully to the time when I got to drive the XKR on the test track before it was released, and fire AK47s on the firing ranges, but I wouldn't trade my E11 for any of it though, trooping with the UKG is living the dream.
