Gee, after reading about all of these interesting jobs I wish mine was more exciting to talk about...  I'm a litigation lawyer and practice predominantly in the area of insurance defence work.

Wow, at least I can talk about my job in public.

Just kiding - Lawyers are hot

But most of us are not very good with the pole

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I think that you're being way too hard on yourself, and we need to bolster your confidence on this one. But of course the only way we can come to a consensus is through direct feedback. So I will suggest that on the next SD.com get-together you provide us with a demonstration of your ability, a little "visual aid" if you will, and we'll give you all the constructive criticism we can offer. You in?

Well, I learned to SCUBA dive in high school, then joined the Navy. The Navy thought since I dive, I'd work with survival equipment real well, so they sent me to school to learn to pack parachutes, life rafts and life perservers, oxygen systems and related equipement. Got to work with the Navy's Test Parachute group, who also did some work with NASA and JPL. Got out after 8 years, and went to work for the same group as a civilian. Now I do quality assurance work testing parachute textiles and hardware, making sure when the Navy buys emergancy equipment for our pilots and aircrew, they're getting the best stuff we can get. Still get to work with NASA on the space shuttle survival equipment, and JPL, testing some of the stuff that's gone to Mars, Jupiture and astroids and comets. It's actully fairly dull most of the time, but kind of neat to think my finger prints are in space, and my name is on stuff sitting on Mars.

JPL= Jet Porpulsion Lab. They actually do robots and hardware that go to space.

I think we're looking at a specialty certification here--and most likely a distinctive specialty at that.

And since I am qualified to teach that specialty . . . I offer plenty of hands on training and 1:1 quality instruction.

I am a applications engineer that manages clients in Dallas, Oregon, Mississippi, and Louisiana. We control the airflow in critical spaces like research facilities, Clean Rooms, and Isolation rooms. As a thought..if you have ever walked down a hospital corridor and on the patients doors it say something like tuberculosis or some communicable disease. Ever wonder why you do not cath this stuff? That’s because of the things I do

Cool...and how come you haven't called us when you are in DALLAS????? Heck we'll even throw a Happy Hour in your honor if you do come and visit us!!! -ww

Very interesting professional group here. I'm new here but have enjoyed getting to know everyone. I'm a Union Lineman here in Alaska / commercial Bush Pilot. I hope to get to know everyone better ,and participate in a few of your trips they all sound great and I bet the company is outstanding.

The company is definitely outstanding....out standing in a field...in the sea...uh...you get the picture!!! But dont' let that dissuade you from joining us on a trip!! On THOSE occasions we are really FUN!!!

Not to be redundant but I was also in the Army (Combat Engineer) then the Navy (SSN 671 USS Narwhal) then Sub repair.
Now I wholesale scuba gear and teach diveing on the side. I may start selling fishing lures also.
