"Retired" engineer / engineering manager / project manager / tech writer for the old Bell System, including a stint at Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ.

Primary area I was in was high-speed digital commuications systems.

Waaaaaay back before those 25 years, I worked as cameraman / maintenance tech at a TV station and did a stint in the USAF.

Now my job is curmudgeon and general annoyance . . .

Hey! Lost those professions in your profile would ya?

I am a High School student as well. I want to go into engineering, perferably automotive. I'm not just any High School student though (Softomore/10th grade) I'm a School of Technology student. That only takes 3 of my 8 classes though--one of my other classes is Stage Productions. I do Audio stuff. If engineering was to fall through I'd probably do something in productions (Film/TV/Live)
 
I work with computers for a government agency. The more you learn about either, the more you're surprised that either ever works.

Prior to this, I was an independent computer consultant/programmer, a hired consultant, and owned a computer business - in no particular order.

For fun, I teach people how not to kill people by accident with pistols. This should somehow relate to my profession, but doesn't.
 
I build and customize paintball guns for a shop in Houston.

Paintball Maxx

I also do some contractor type work for a gun manufacturer from Chicago at the national paintball tournaments as a gun tech.

Airgun Designs
Thats about it.
 
I am a dimmer and moving light tech for a production/rental house in NJ. I install and upgrade theatres and fix moving lights on concert tours.
 
Technical Director for a 2000 seat theatre, we did just over 300 shows last season and even more this season. That means I contact each show coming in and arrange crew, times, setup and tear down of each one.

lessing have you been through our theatre with a show yet?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Same here. I did programming for a while and now I'm into Network/System Administration. I do a little bit of consulting as well.
 
23 years with BellSouth as a central office wire tech, record storage, mailroom, warehouse worker and now a service rep that handles broadband and switching orders for wholesale/resale customers.
