i've been in construction since i was at age 12 and love beeing outside working
all schooling i have is highscool and some few courses to get licensed ;-))

Im a geek for a webhosting company

I'm 52. 21 years as plant Operator in Natural Gas Process plant in Andrews County, Texas. Took four years: 1999 to 2003 to finally attend College At Midland College: 2 associate degrees: Biology and Professional Pilot. (A younger man's game but hey, I had a blast boring holes all over Texas skies in a 2002 Mooney!) Instrument & Commercial rating. 2yrs, Mud-Logging on oil/gass drill locations (Geologist wanna be ), Wireline operator/cassed hole completions (blowing lots of holes in well bore casing for fluid entry), 2yrs. Production logging tool operator: (determin for oil company customers where the oil, gas and water is coming into the well bore so they can stop the water if favor the hydrocarbons) 2yrs. Now back in a new "state of the art" CO2 recovery facillity for re-injection and enhanced oil recovery in Ward County TX. Working 7 12 hour nights, then 7 days off then 7 12 hour days then days off etc. What a beautiful way to earn a living! With all this time off I think I will just continue to work until I am 80 (Good lord willing and health holding out) I just love it! The Texas Oil Fields have been very good to me indeed. Advice: don't wait until you are 46 to start College if you can help it. That said, do attend college whenever you can in your life. It is absolutely worthwhile....(Lot's of very pretty girls! )

PC Development Engineer.
Get ur education kid. Its worth a ton

I run sales and marketing for a company that sells uber high end custom home theater systems. Think of a surround sound system, projector and screen that cost more than your house.....yeah....it's a fun job...

31 turning 32 in a few weeks - Current job is equipment specialist at Intel; I diagnose, repair and work on upgrading dielectric semiconductor equipment. Been there 8 months, prior to that I worked for the vendor that builds the equipment and sells them to Intel, did that for just shy of 8 years. Prior to that I was a helicopter crew chief and mechanic in the US Army, flying around on CH-47D's.

Maybe this would make a good first post.

I work for HP Voodoo PC in Fort Collins Colorado. Excellent place to work and game.

I am also a mad folder. (pistolkilla) for team EVGA.

I am 16, and when school finishes (only a week left now) I'm going to be an apprentice mechanic.

I have been going to the garage that is taking me on for 2 years, just on fridays, the rest i'm in school

24, Officially a Software Engineer for Cisco Systems! wee
Prior to that, a software engineer intern for IBM
Prior to that, tech support at Penn State's Computer Center
Prior to that, a audio visual tech for Penn State
prior to that, a dairy farmer
prior to that, working at long john silvers (actually got fired from long johns, kinda impressive.)
prior to that, a full time teenager where all I did was game, lift weights, and drink the cheapest of beer.

I guess my job title has changed since the shop I was working for as a computer technician closed (also the reason I haven't been around in a while). Can't really make money on parts anymore, unless you sell huge quantities of the stuff. The majority of our clients were always looking to save a buck, so after throwwing parts at what they thought ws wrong, they usually ended up heading off to one of the big box stores and buying a new complete system. I geuss I would be, what people are calling an "IT specialist". I actually have these forums to blame for becoming good at all the IT related stuff I get hired to do.

New guy so I guess this is a way to introduce myself a little. I'm 22 and I'm an unemployed welder/fabricator running my own business out of my garage. Started an apprenticeship with the Plumbers/Pipefitters/HVACR Union last august. I went to college for a year after highschool and realized I'm never goi g to be able to work a desk job so I went to a welding school to get my certs and have been doing that for about 4 years now.

age 32, manufacturing engineer. I worked as a machinist for 8 years and went to college and have an associates in manufacturing engineering. I am currently going for a bach in the same field. I now use computer aid drafting (CAD) and solid model software ( 3 dimensional ) work on a daily basis. I over see document control of the blue prints that are generated here, incoming prints, and out going of prints. I also handle quality control of all incoming parts. I enjoy my job, and the knowledge that I have learned over the years has come in very handy in all aspects of my life.

Hooray for putting american car manufacturers into bankruptsy because people charge 60 bucks an hour to screw in spark plugs...

lol, I'm in a government union and the "compensation" isn't exactly spectacular at my level, but I can't complain about the pension, health and dental benefits, 4 weeks vacation and almost free school (which I am not currently taking advantage of).

Slot Machine Quality Assurance. I literally, take slot machine software, and test it (against a list of things we look for) and play play play it.

Nope, there is no way i can know which machine will pay out, or when, its all huge random number generators, running off the newest (1ghz) processors. Doesnt take much to run RNG's apparantly.

Its the best job i have had, (im typing from work now ) and i have alot of freeedom here. I mean, who gets to work at a place where u can listen to anymusic you want, watch DVD's (dont get caught or you are fired), surf on the sly and goof around.....while the game boots up or you run builds on them. When there is work, you work, when there is not, You play GTA 3 on a linux (ok, thats what my friend matt does...)

It pays the bills, and its alot of fun. Freedom is more important than money, but the money doesnt suck!
