    Househusband, retired. I stay home, work on my cars in the shop. I also pick up the kids and do the homework with em. Cook some meals but draw the line at housework. The housekeeper does that.

    It is truly a wonderful life spending time with the kids. When they are in school, it's car time!!!

    I am a computer driver for a composites company, designing and documenting various components for the aerospace industry. Among our customers are Boeing, Eclipse, and Rolls-Royce (for the Joint Strike Fighter). First direct job in 10 years (on the road doing contract stuff before). It's nice to be working close to home!:Comp:

Anybody need a new best friend? Anybody want to work for Doughnuts? Oh by the way my new big title is Regional Director of Sales. Of course Josh is a student in high school. Soon to be changing his harem over to Texas girls.

    I don't have a title.... but I've been in engineering for 14 years, with only 2 years with my current employer.
    I was hired by a small, family owned, fab shop to start a new division for them, to help take the company "to the next level".

    We now build automation equipment for mostly automotive related plants. I exceeded the 1st year sales goal they set for me by about 40%, and this year I'm 8% over the goal with 3 weeks left to go in December. (patting myself on the back) :gt:

    I do everything for the new division from Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Purchasing, Acct's Payable/Receivable, Bookwork ..etc..
    Mostly material handling type stuff (conveyors), but a few times a year I get into larger, more sophisticated automation cells. But not quite as sophisticated as robots.
    Within a couple years, I'd like to be doing full scale robotics too. :Brow:

    I've been an oil finance speculator for about a decade now. Pay's great, and I get all the free gas I want!

    J/K, don't shoot! :bla:

    I used to be a licensed fuel/gas tech up until a few years ago. After that, I started working for a small business doing antique auto restorations. While that is something I would have loved to have stayed with, due to a lot of complications, and disagreements with the ethics of the owner, I left.
    Right now I am working alongside of a master electrician, and it's pretty cool learning that field of construction.

    Hey everyone, I just saw this thread, thought I would chime in,

    I have been a scientific glass blower since 1973. This means I make all kinds of lab ware out of Pyrex and fused Quartz for universities, research labs, and the petrochemical industries. For the last 12 years I have also been working at a company that makes xray tubes for CT scanners.
