with all our new members I thought I would bring this up again. Just curious what everyone does for a living, since I know what everybody does on their spare time(visiting TechZonez). Well me and Stripe do tech support for a Automotive software company. Doing tech support for insurance adjusters and grease monkeys.

I am an English teacher in Japan. I teach high school students ranging in age from 15-19. I love my job, so much so that I plan on getting an advanced degree in education in the coming year.

Electrician, I spent my last years as a Bio-Med tech repairing the equipment in the O/R of a large Hospital, I also installed the computer network systems for the Hospital.
In 1995 I retired cuz of an injury, since then I've been a F1 driver, NASCAR driver, Starship Captain and Monster killer. Right now I'm in the Army fighting in Normandy.
It's fun being a gamer :D

Ok, I used to work for Western digital in the material review board (costa mesa) - I was an MRB tech engineer. I'm the one that blew the whistle on the board and the shipping department as they were stealing chips and sending them overseas. The shipping department head and my boss were also arrested for cocaine distribution. My boss did not even work - her nose was always running and I went to all the staff meetings for her and prepared failure analysis reports for the engineer department - then I noticed that things were not right with the handling of certain chips. These chips were handled in a locked cage - anyone in there is locked in. I happend to see the chips (a whole pallet) being moved out of there -and I know they were not failed chips.
Other jobs - I was a hospital purchaser - materials management for 3 yrs.
I then moved to Oregon and after several jobs decided to become a contractor. I got my license and built a few homes - mostly sub-contracted out all the work. - lol - now I’m caregiver for my elderly mom for a while since my dad died.

Looks like a great course. I am now at Victroria Hills. This was my second "grow-in" of a new course. We were named "Best New Course" in the state for 2002 and in the top 10 best new courses in the nation.
Here is a couple of pics I took. This was right after the "grow-in".

My father just kinda naturally fell into the superintendant position, he maintained the place, maintained the equipement, and even paid the employees from his own pocket when things got bad - and now that were gone the place is crumbling.

Twenty-three years working with U.S. Army Explosives and Ammunition. Last assignment was manager of conventional ammunition test programs.
The only thing anyone needs to know is that I still have 5 fingers on each hand.
Now have a small computer repair business. Not much money, but I meet a lot of nice people.
