So, what is your profession?

[Coop]

Started 2008 with a new job. I'm now an operations & maintenance engineer for an international supplier of telecommunications equipment. Basicly, I monitor and do faultfinding on cellular networks to keep them running smoothly.

There's a huge variety of different professions on this forum. Anyone want to know what happens when we all got sent back to the dawn of civilization? Can the combined expertise (and EDC) of our members allow for a grand society to be built?

On topic... I just finished a Master's degree in engineering and am currently a research scientist at a university, advancing the evil liberal global warming conspiracy. In fact, as an undergrad I was the (uncredited) intern that did the grunt work on the sea ice extent measurements, which involved loading and unloading discs full of data, processing them and then tabulating the results. I'm currently waiting for scholarship results to see if I can be fully funded for a Ph.D. in engineering.

During my undergrad days, I also interned as an IT analyst, as an MRI imaging scientist and as a visual effects software developer.

WOW! Its been a while for this thread. lol. Ill partisipate. I work for a company that is contracted through all the railroads to clean up train wrecks and train de-railments. I know what your thinking. How many trail wrecks are there? well if everyone knew about them the railroad wouldn't get much buisness and enviromentalists would be all over them. . I thought this would be a cake job when I first hired on lol. Just wait around for train wrecks huh? sweet. I was wrong, still an awesome job though.

 

[fisk-king]

Union Electrician/Hydro Tech. for one of the local Dams in the area. Former Judo/Aikido player then dabbled into BJJ. Get to use my lights everyday (Quark neut. tact. AA2 or pd30) which is *one* of the neat things about working at a 11 unit Hydro Plant. Its pretty spooky to go into a scroll case w/ lights on high and notice the nice little leaks spewing from the head gates ( the only separation between you and the Tenn. river). Thats when I switch back to *Low*.
