Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I dont think anyone one else on here does what I do.
I design x-ray machines (bit like the ones that do airport carryon baggage) - but these look at food to make sure its not contaminated.
If you have eaten a mr kipling pie, its been throug one of my designs.
Essentially, I am an electronics person, but I can hash a bit of 'c' together.
Im also prowd owner of 3 1/2 years of a 4 year degree in computing - I stopped the course after I changed jobs and realised that the degree was total
tosh and had little use in the real world. IT stuff is 99% office related, and has very little of use in industrial embedded control.

ps - I think jet engine stuff is cool, and mr ashurst is way too modest - he designs bridges...real mans kinda engineering

I spend all day guessing how much it will cost to fix a smashed up car - or build a new one for £250 - b*ll*cks
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

kinda inbetween trades....
in the army, was employed as a vehicle electrician, but then they killed my trade off 
so now i'm just about to retrade as an aircraft technician (starting on the 24th)
the main bonus on the net is i've gone from an average dial up speed of 30k at the last house to 42k here in arborfield (broadband to be
hooked up next week)
Please feel free in advance to: correct, update, ridicule or laugh and point at any comments made by myself in this post....

Software Quality Manager - sounds grand, and when I joined the company I was supposed to get them through ISO9001. At the time I told them that I
hadn't programmed for years...
...so I ended up writing test harnesses and user simulation applications in C++ for Windows/MFC! I didn't mind tho' - quite enjoying a
bit of creative work.
If you ever see adverts for betting or share dealing software on a PDA, then it's a fair chance it was written by our company.

Computer programmer with an artistic bent. Interactive Multimedia that is.
Specifically, I design and develop Internet enabled broadcast screensavers (mostly for professional sports teams). And also a Tray-based Communication
delivery system that sends news, video and images directly to the desktop in real-time.
Before that I did 3D animation for broadcast and film, and before that I was an Architect.

Oh God,this is going to sound really sad. I have a gift/card/florists shop. The upside that it is in Cornwall and 95% of customers are female. I used
to be an antiques dealer/furniture restorer which is a very slightly less camp job! I do get to stand about drinking coffee and smoking all day
long,no access to a computer there,so no nedding.

Job title is Design Engineer, but I've got a degree in Electronic Engineering.
I design hardware, write firmware, and design mechanical bits and bobs too.
Our company design Sound Level Meters, so if I fail the noise test at SVA, I'll be pissed. Especially as they all use our meters!
I can also see the sea out of my office window.

nothing sad about that - you own a business and decide what you do, rather than most of us that have some dick to report to......
if I had the funding and business skills and it made money id have a card shop too...... would be nice to do summat different!

I'm a Senior Technician in the Computer Engineering Dept. of a PC manufacturer and supplier of PC's and components to the industry,
schools and general public.
In short, I build PC's, as in slot the bits together and install windows.
In the past I've done several things, including working in engineering, selling hairdressing products, driving a fork lift truck and finally and
unsuccessfully selling vacuum cleaners.
