What do you do???
What do you do???
I've posted these topics in the past and it's been quite some time so I thought I'd ask again. I have an interest in different careers and career fields.
I'll start. I am a C#.NET Application Developer. I currently work in the financial industry for an online bank that has no physical branches. I dabble in some web development, but the bulk of my work involves the development of our back-end systems. We use a service oriented architecture so I develop WCF web services for use by our front-end internet sites and internal intranet tools utilized by our customers and employees respectively. I also work on most of our processing systems that handle processing our daily financial transactions.
I absolutely love being a developer. It truly is my dream job.

Im in the electrical field. I inspect and repair high voltage underground lines and equipment. Every once in a while I get to dabble in the engineering side of it also. I work in the D.C. And get to work outdoors all year round which is a blessing and also a curse. It's something I enjoy doing and can't complain honestly, and if I did who'd listen right? I'm also a volunteer firefighter and EMT in my community. So basically I'm just the average blue collar dude :) if you actually want to see a little bit of what I do check out this link to a thread I posted. There's several pics there.

I retired about four years ago. Before that, I was a computer programmer and systems analyst for New York State. Began working in COBOL and CICS against a DB2 database, spent the last ten years working with Oracle Designer and Developer against an Oracle database. Enjoyed the work, hated the politics.

Retired CPA. Spent last twenty working years as the CFO for a midwest distributor; was the MIS Director for a road and bridge construction company before that. I've built financial analysis worksheets in Visicalc, Multiplan, Supercalc, Lotus 123, Quattro and Excel; complete Sales Analysis systems in Condor, RBase and Paradox - all ancient history now except for Excel.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

I wear many hats. Short answer is Sales Manager and Chief Designer for a small design/manufacture/build firm. We hold a dozen or so patents for proprietary structural steel beams using cold-formed steels. Most of our business is residential design with specialization in suspended concrete deck and garage floors. I have been with the company for almost a decade and have moved up from the lowest designer to the "go-to guy". I wish I had gone thru with my degrees further and pursued my license.

Same boat here. I'm perform the function of a project architect, but since I never got the full degree I never got licensed. As a result I can't call myself an architect so they put project manager on my business cards. Been at it a little over 20 years now.xceptnl wrote:I wish I had gone thru with my degrees further and pursued my license.
Gonna be showing my age here, but whatever we're all friends here. I'm a student, graduating college this year and still looking for a job once I'm out. I work as a contractor at an LLC but nothing I'd make a career out of. Had to sign an NDA when I joined though so I can't say anything too specific, but pretty much what I do is search eBay, amazon and some other online shops for knockoffs and counterfeits of the company that hired the LLC I work for.
