Retired from the US Army and now working on my second retirement working for the US Government

I sell motorcycle/ATV/Personal Watercraft parts and accessories. Its easy and sometimes fun, pay is decent depending on the season, but if you want an idea of a good portion of my current clientele, watch the "12 O'Clock Boys" documentary...

I steal from the poor and give to the rich!

I am a mid-level executive at a Fortune 50 company. I.e. expendable.

I'm an ex RAF Airframe Fitter, now a Technical Trainer in Saudi Arabia.
Working on a Mech Eng degree too.

Forgot "Lawn Guard" there Frazz

Super Villain. My evil lair is hidden in Mount Rushmore - Lincoln's nose to be precise. . My plan is too brain wash politicians and make them incompetent and corrupt, then flood congress and the senate with them. The chaos will bring the USA to its knees, and Britain will rule the world again. Evil laugh

Keeping an eye out for a certain MI6 agent

Edit: just noticed a flaw in my plan to make politicians incompetent

Looks like your plan is working perfectly.

I'm a Chemical Engineer that worked 15 years in manufacturing focused primarily on process improvement and Lean Six Sigma projects . I now work for my companies R&D department, trialing new equipment, raw materials, and products at our various plants.

Sometimes I mix different acids and metals to see what melts what! We call it "Can you melt it?" Sometimes we even remember to turn on the hood!

Interesting! I am a Clinical Scientist working in Rehabilitation Engineering.

I teach the mentally ill life skills in a home setting to rehabilitate them back in to the community.

Union steamfitter for 15 years and I currently work in a huge ass data center in Northern Virginia. I also taught trade school for five years.

Dreadwinter: That is an important job, fair play to you.

I'm a biology/physics/mathematics teacher, depending on what the school needs at the time.

How do you guys with jobs in science/engineering let the hobby co-exist with your career? What's your social group? More than one group? Mostly gamers? Mostly co-workers?
Also, do you like your jobs? (Rate 1-10) maybe? (1 is depression causing and 10 is you enjoy it as much as the hobby

I am a game designer

I design games and I am basically a freelancer, though I am currently studying as well. But that doesn't mean I won't take a job in the industry.

At times I wonder if anyone ever read the MSDS concerning chemicals......forgot I did a brief stint as a Certified Surg Tech my brief time I got out the Army......and dragged back in to the mayhem
