What do you do for a living?

I am a glorified bus driver. Not that there is anything wrong with driving a bus and really the glory of flying airplanes belonged to the 60's and 70's. But if I have to do something day in, day out, I'm glad that I get to fly. Best office window anywhere!

Process Automation/Power Management Operations Design Center

or

Technician, though my "official" title is Electrical Systems Designer II

I'm a trekking guide in Colombian Paramos.

One more COP here.

I'm a Solutions Engineer, which means I spend less time at a command line prompt and more time with people talking about technical requirements and explaining how things work.

I make car parts.

I am a QA manager for a recruitment software company.

I'm a barista/cook.

aeromechanical engineer!

Attorney – one of five or so here, apparently.

Mechanical Engineering & Physics double major: student, graduating spring 2012

I am a business and marketing analyst in the soft drink industry.

Pretty interesting. Not the engineers, because most of the guys I backpack with are engineers, but the people that aren't.

I was a journeyman welder. Went back to school, now I run the welding and metallurgy program at one of the local community colleges. I also run the metal art program. On the off time, I also am a photographer.

Environmental Engineer – designing the remediation of toxic waste sites.

I studied Chemical Engineering at Berkeley so now I'm cleaning up after my former classmates.

But I've also worked as an (exploited child) computer programmer. And have been the Treasurer of an electric utility.

Does cover all the possible geek bases?

I'm a construction project estimator.

Am now a finance lawyer but my first degree was in Fine Arts and English and I actually started a career as a curator before switching to law.

I also started at uni in a science degree and then switched to Arts after a couple of years – I've always straddled the science/engineering and humanities divide.

My father is a farmer/electronics engineer.

Of the corporate variety.

I am a head golf professional at a private country club…with a BFA in Visual Communication.

Embedded Firmware "Engineer". (Guilty as charged)

I was at Purple Lake on the JMT this summer and we had a little camp fire which attracted everyone camping there to come by. We did a poll and found that out of the 8 of us around the fire we had 6 engineers, 1 accountant, and one Microsoft PR person.

Your logic holds up :)

a Landscape Designer and going back to grad school this coming fall for Landscape Architecture/Urban Planning

Similar response, guilty… I am a Controller of a real estate company with a CPA background. My skills at work do come in handy since I use spreadsheets to compare gear choices and to track the total weight of my backpack. Obsessive compulsive?? Maybe… I've got to make my pack lighter…

I'm an RN.

Critical care nursing for 20 years with a 12 year break when I had a computer repair business for 7, then did Hospice for 5. Now back in critical care with a great schedule of working 6 on followed by 8 off (12 hr days). My wife is a nurse too.

About to finish up my last semester of graduate school. Then (if I pass the boards), I'll be a physical therapist.

While I do enjoy school, I enjoy the amount of free time it gives me to get outside even more…

Regretfully I can't join the group of engineers/accountants. I can't even have an association through family members. I spend most of my time praticing orthopedic surgery.
