What do you do???

[ASmitty]

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.

Did we meet at work? I had a server meeting with the Browns 6-7 years ago. Can't recall if I was with IBM or Foresight at the time.

Those bulls better watch out for MY horn lol.

Wait...that didn't sound right at all.

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.

Has it been completely modernised or is the place where the man in black performed still there ?

Lol! :D I'd hate to see your personal injury insurance premiums. :eek:

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.

[Invective]

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.
