    Own a business with my youngest son designing and building dust suppression equipment and electrical control systems. Started this business when I retired after 30 years in the power plant business. I like my hours now better than b4. :D

    For the last 5 years, Network administrator. Before this I was:

    peach picker, farmer, bus-boy, Janitor, Singer/Banjo Player, Package Handler/Lumper, Assemblyman (bucket trucks and digger derricks), Welder/Grinder (Stainless), Brake Press Operator/Setup, Fork Truck Driver, Electric Motor Builder (GE), Inventory Cage Attendant, upholsterer, Construction sub-contractor, Cabinet-Maker, P.O.S. Installer, owned my own computer business, and mechanic.

    But after turning 30 this year and having 14 addresses in the last 12 years, I have finally stayed somewhere for a while. I like this job because it changes every day and doesn't get boring, and I found out that your job doesn't make you who you are.

    Went to school to design either chassis or powertrains for Ford; ended up running a company that 'tunes up' auto plants. Thought i'd end up bein' an engineer - now there's a whole bunch of 'em reporting to me.

    scary.

    My "normal" job is teaching 5th grade in Corona De Tucson. I have taken an unpaid leave of absence for this school year to be a stay at home dad for our first child (a boy), who is now almost 6 months old. After my leave expires, my plan is to return to teaching.

    Industrial Designer. Now working freelance and semi retired. I've designed a variety of things from arcade game cabinets to medical equipment housings.

    [​IMG]

    On a side note, it's a small world. In the 1980's I worked on a video game called 720. We built a half pipe at the company and had pro skateboarders come in and perform. This performance was video taped and was part of the design process for making a game. One of the skaters that came in to perform was our own hamb'er CAB.
