What are you educated in and what do you do?
 

Curiosity.

I have a BS in Biology and Chemistry, an MS in Computer and Info Sciences.

I'm a Purchasing/Packaging manager.

I tried working in a lab, also tried IT. Wasn't happenin'.

$2 hj's, $5 bj's, and $10 zj's.

If you have to ask what a zj is...you probably can't afford it.

BA in Philosophy.

Inventory Manager in an independent bookstore (www.lemuriabooks.com).

B.Tech. in electrochemical engineering. PhD in Chemistry (Chemical system simulation and modeling)

Working as a bio-informatician at the university.

BA. in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Creative Advertising.

Graphic Designer.

I have an associates in dietetics and nutrition though the AF, and I am 9 hours away from completing my pre-engineering associates degree, and will probably attend UTSA to complete my BS in mechanical enginnering if iam still here, if not, I will complete somewhere else.

2 AAS (2 year) degrees, one in computer graphics (CAD), the other in mechanical design. Nearly 30 years working in engineering fields, I am now classified as a "design engineer". I do tooling design for an optical microreplication company.

You've heard of Real D (3D movies)? I'm working on the next generation right now.

BBA accounting/MS Finance/1 year of Law School.

I run our family business that makes portable darkrooms for radiographic testing. I had no desire to do accounting after 4 years of it and didn't want to put in the 80-90 hour weeks it would take as a law school graduate. I love the hell out of some finance and law though. Keeping up with those is a second hobby after cars.

BS in Mech engineering with a major in Product development and industrial design. I work as a Senior Project Manager / "In house development" department manager (consultant firm).

BS EE
Have done C++ coding, a bit of DSP, and mechatronics control systems, and taught courses to PhD students.
Analog electronics manager, designing switching power supplies.

3D huh?

BS Mechanical Engineering + 99% of a Philosophy Minor

I'm senior design engineer for a high end virtual reality display company. our stuff is used primarily for military training and simulation. basically multimillion dollar video games. one fun one was a helicopter sim on a motion base with a touchie-feelie 50 cal and wind in your hair. it's hard to shoot the little bad guys from so high up with all that motion!

also, you may remember ads about this:

BS in Community Planning

Nation Flood Insurance Program Grant Manager

So you help the super wealth pay for their damp beachfront holmes after a storm with federal money?

Flunked HS. GED in Army. Worked my way up in Plastics and leveraged a buy out of the company for which I worked. Now quasi-retired playing with Miatae, putting off the grim reaper.

BSc in Computer Science. I write code.

Certificate in production media.

I run my own IT company after years of dealing with fuckhead managers and owners.

It's kind of funny how some people get their homes devalued on the "severe repetitive loss" list, then throw a double dip shit fit when they suggest I pay them more that what they insure the home for. It's even more entertaining when this happens to Senators. :giggle: Rich or poor, it doesn't matter. Some of these flood claim histories would shock you.

You are exactly right though, if you failed to plan ahead, tax payers will bail you out. I can't wait for the economy to rebound and leave after what I've seen in the last two years, but I fear the next person who replaces me won't have the same appreciation for meticulously reviewing each application.

Most of my BS in CS (still need to finish that...)

I split my time about 50/50 between IT administration for a commercial fishing company and writing code in a combination of python for admin tasks and VBA/SQL/Access code for the accounting/purchasing departments.

HS diploma. Zero college.

Currently putting 75% of my time into starting/running my own business and the other 25% into working for the foundation company.

Pretty soon I'll start up painting again for a month or two to get another chunk of cash. If I could get more commercial jobs I'd paint on the side year round, but I'm not a professional painter, nor would I like to be.

AAS in Ski Area Operations (basically a professional ski bum for 10 years)
AA for Advertising Art and Illustration
Presently CAD designer for my father's Architectural office.

We seem to have a big Granbury presence on the forum.

;) And MSR Cresson is only 12 miles from the house.

Its not honest work but I like to call it street pharmacy. Made 1k this week so far...

WTF am I only only guy who's hobby is his job?

AAS in Automotive Technologies. I'm an ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician. I work on cars for a living... LOL

1yr at UNC-Charlotte School of Architecture, got kicked out for having too much fun and operating an "illicit chemicals" business on the side.

Followed that with a 7+ year apprenticeship with a jeweler in Charlotte, and I've been in the jewelry biz ever since. I've had my own custom jewelry business in Colorado Springs since '99.

BS in Engineering Technology with emphesis in Design, minor in Computer Science. I am the Mechanical Engineering Manager for an automation machine builder. I get to design assembly and inspection equipment primarily for the automotive industry. I am also part time IT support.

If you can fuse marijuana to the tobacco plant, then I'm going to become a farmer. High yield, plus pesky helicopters wont' be able to see any funny business. I've heard you can get the tobacco plant to do anything you want.

B.S. Physics, M.S. Medical Physics

I am a medical physicist

BS Biological Sciences
DDS (pediatric dentistry)
Fellow of Craniofacial Genetics
MS Orthodontics

HS flunky, GED received, 2 years in a local tech school for AST to work in the automotive field and to get my ASE certifications. Quit a few months before I was supposed to be finished. Went back to school at a community college two more times since, once for mechanical engineering and another time for computer science to begin a career in networking/IT. No degree yet, and I work in a medical lab. I'm versed in a lot of skills, just none well enough to make a career of at the moment. Still indecisive in choosing one field to stick to. Maybe before I am 30 I will decide what I want to be when I grow up... :giggle:

Working an IT internship with a big local health system. Seems promising, hopefully moving up soon, been there for 11 months now.

Still going to school, major undecided, just want that piece of paper :).

Business Sales for a large telecom provider

BA in Special Education.
Minor in Sociology.

I defend the country.

In 3 weeks I'll have a BS in Aerospace Engineering. I'm slated to be a developmental engineer in the astronautical engineering field for the Air Force, just waiting on orders.

B.S. in Fine Arts (industrial design).

Working as an Industrial Designer in the lifescience/med product realm.

I heart my job even though it seems I'm always designing boxes:

BS in Information Technology, Minors in Business and Economics.

I am System Administrator. I play with Linux and browse mt.net all day.

B.Comm Marketing MGT minors in Business Admin and Econ with a bit of computer programming in there.

I'm in a BA Mechanical Eng program focusing on robotics and automation now.

I'm working as a banker (mind numbing) and a junior prof at a college.

Decent HS education and will soon complete my 25th year as a Goldsmith. The last 15 of which has been running my own business making and repairing jewellery.

This is pretty interesting. Good thread. OK, here goes:

BSAE
MSAE
JD

I've done a lot of different things. Started off as a Navy F/A-18 pilot. After that, worked a bit in industrial controls, went to law school and worked in patent law for about 4 years. During my time as a lawyer, I started a company that manufactures aircraft displays (the pilot displays). That's what I am still doing. Get to do lots of flying using cutting-edge equipment, lots of engineering and a little lawyering. I also dig wrenching on cars . . . always have.

I'm in my 4th year to have a BA in English. I work for the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia which is a government crown corporation that insures every vehicle in BC. I work on their computer technical help desk, and I love it.

Who'd of thunk it...two jewelers on the site. I hardly meet one in person. :wavey:

Cool thread, nice to know we have a nice mix of people and jobs.

Barely graduated HS (find out I could walk three days before graduation)

Slumped into Florida Keys Community College and started my AA
Found out I have a knack for math. Started with basics and then started taking Col. Alg and trig together. Then took Calc.1 and 2 together. AA is done. Still taking some classes online and doing more advanced mathematics.

Got accepted to UCF for Mech. Engineering and want to do Army ROTC for my remaining years.

However, I am on the verge of enlisting and finishing school after I get a chance to go over seas. I am bored with school and really want a change of pace for awhile.

I don't know what I want to do for a living.

Im about to finish a 3 year program in Auto Tech. AS coming soon, but I think I may go for Mechanical Engineering...
Basically, it's going to be like starting college all over again. I turn 21 next month. Awesome. :facepalm:
I realized working on cars is going to get old after several years.
On the good side, I don't know many people my age who make as much money as me.

Currently work at a shop, its a large company that most of you have probably heard of.

Awesome, I didn't figure this out til I moved to TX, but I recently took an internship at NASA for engineers, and they are recruiting the hell out of engineers. In the AF you will probably end up in Vandenburg, Cape Canaveral, or somewhere up in North Dakota babysitting ICBMs. But NASA has bad assed internships. Any TX residents should check out TX aerospace scholars to get your foot in the door, and escalate as you see fit.

I'm almost done with my AS in Pre Engineering and will be entering UT's BS-MS program for either Mechanical or Chemical Engineering.

3.5 years of manufacturing engineering, including maxing out my local CC's math series to vector calculus.

3 years as a gear cutter/machinist (amazing experience for my manufacturing degree) and made a lot of nice parts both for the company and my car and bike. I was doing amazingly well there, but it was too intellectually boring, and not very gratifying.

Currently a CNA2 (certified nurse's assistant). I've been doing this for a year now, and am starting at a local hospital on Monday. Moving towards being a nurse. Might do EMT/paramedic.

BA: Communication

Diploma: Nursing

Currently working as a Psychiatric RN

Snowboard instructor in the winter.

Odd jobs in the summer.

I guess i don't quite have it figured out like some of you..

Wow, quite the list of accolades in this thread. I am very impressed.

Well...both of my adopted parents passed away before I was 16. I had to drop out of high school and find my way very early. It's a damn shame too. I held a 3.92 GPA out of 4 in 8th grade with honors in math and science.

Bounced around for the next 2 years never seeming to be able to stay in one place very long. Got my first full time job at 18 in a fabrication shop in the assembly department and worked my way up to a Welder/Fabricator/Machinist. Did that for 8 years in 5 different shops then started working construction as a Heavy Equipment Operator.

I have been an Operator for the last 14 years but it slowed a lot after the housing market crash. I am considering getting my GED and switching careers but I'm not sure if I want to do it since I'm already 40 years old. I would hate to have to start all over again but whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

I suppose if I really want it, all I have to do is apply myself.

Intelligence Analyst turned Cryptologic Linguist with the US Army.


I do stuff.

Degree in mechanical engineering. Now my position is "nuclear engineer" but I'm really just a paper pusher. I'm looking at grad school for off-shore wind power development.

Two years of EE
Then, An AA and BA on HFT (Hotel, foodservice and tourism administration)
Specialized in F&B, worked at hotels for too many years.

5 ASE certificates, about a dozen others on diagnostics from various institutions.

Currently have a small company, partnering with my wife, providing communication consulting and translation services, and having the time of my life.

I decided I didn't want to risk getting burned out on my hobby, by doing it for a living. That and the pay for an IT job is higher, and I wanted to do something computer related before I decided on the car thing, so I fell back on that. Otherwise I would be a mechanic myself.

AS in Computer Networking

Fixing medical electronic equipment as a Biomedical Engineering Technician in a hospital.

BA in Graphic Design and Advertising
Graphic Designer.

Wanna be like Brain do you?

Busted... :brain:

BBA MIS
