Trades?

[CanadianCobra]

Another professional student.
Have CADD/Tech. Illustrator degree. 6 classes away from Bachelor of Pro. Arts. Going into Computer Integrated Design next year. Plus plans for more after that.
Right now I'm not doing any classes, so I'm working as a draftperson at a playground manufacturer (I put together pretty 3D models) and a cashier at night (which is not as cool as a superhero).

[Dano78]

Was a Turboprop/shaft Engine and Propeller rebuild tech in the USAF. I got to spend YOUR tax money at WILL! Pretty cool playing with multi-million dollar 3500hp jet engines and watching them at work!
Now I work for the City of Vancouver in the Street Dept. asphault paving/constructing roads. Quite a flipside in jobs and not really all that fun, but pays really good considering I'm just a HS graduate. I'm also that guy in the snowplow that buries your driveway and car as I tear down the street at 45mph, and sander whailin!

Another satisfied IT guy here (NOT). I have spent 14 years too long solving other peoples problems and am investigating becoming self employed.

 

[dmoody]

I'm a software engineer. I work designing and implementing the diagnostics that go on heavy duty trucks,pickups,military equipment,buses,etc. Occassionally I do some mainstream automotive diagnostics for GMC, Ford, etc.

I put myself through college building houses, so like others on here... I know a little bit about a lot of things. I've also taken welding classes to help me restore cars, but I'm not licensed.

I have worked in seating, windows, window regulators (lift), just left fuel systems and am starting with a metal forming supplier tuesday. I have a wall full of patents (if you have ridden in a car with the seatbelt attached to the seat instead of the car body you have used one or more of my patented items) and another handful pending. you can see axamples of what I do here: http://www.pasternakengineering.com

Good thread. I knew there were a few engineers here but I didn't realize how many and what everyone did. Chris (cobraII), you have some interesting projects there.

Add me to the list of engineers, mechanical. I just recently became registered as a Professional Engineer and also recently switched employers. After seven years at the previous company, I was getting bored and had lost my motivation. A change of pace was overdue. So now I'm now working for a company that develops power electronics products (inverters, chargers, etc). I get to work on interesting and challenging projects, I'm learning lots, and I'm getting exposure to the high-tech industry.

Hmmm, ok, did the education ladder. You can call me prosecution Case Control Supervisor, Investigator, Detective, Network Administrator, Web Master, Courtroom technology expert, etc., all in one job for over 18 years and still at it. Yes, badge included. It is not without it's drawbacks....exhausted at the end of each working day not including the 24/7 office nextel. Oh, more importantly....hobbies: dedicated to the rebirth of the mustang II and condemn falsities to the point of pronounced prosecution.

 

[THE COBRAMAN]
