Since my post on this thread, I have changed jobs. I'm still a Systems Engineer, but now I work for MITRE Corp. and the Air Force Air Combat Command keeps be busy.
By the way Capt. Saaz, "Am I up here because you're down there, or are you down there because I'm up here."
your job

This thread is a real piece of North American socio-economic modern history...
Meanwhile, over in Europeland, job titles have gone crazy (Brits blame Brussles). I met a "nail technician" last trip home. I thought he was in the building industry, but he was infact a manicurist. the guys that collect your rubbish/garbage, are now "Cleansing technicians".
As for me, I am in just a plain old fashioned "money for old rope" line of work - or in modern terms "management consultant, specialising in communications/organisational change in developing/emerging markets" (yes, it is an uphill struggle...)

Remember, email is an inefficient communications forum. You may not read things the way it was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt before firing back... Especially if it is ME...!

I'm a Mechanical Engineer stuck in the aerospace industry for 21 years now. Currently working for the FAA. So I guess I'm more of a government bureaucrat than an engineer these days, but hey, somebody has to do it.

I work for one of the largest telecom companies in the US, delivering broadband digital and analog data circuits. My work takes me into a variety of places from government, high tech buisness to field work. I spent most of the wee hours of this morning babysitting a cell tower. Mostly my job is fun, but sometimes it is very stressfull, like the night the entire com system crashed at Lakehurst Naval Air Station and I was the only tech stupid enough to answer my phone. Yeah, that was a fun night...
On the side I would like to be a writer or photogtapher but I suck at both so I stick with my day job lol
