Let's see. I was a 67n Huey mechanic in the U.S. Army. Then a Ford Motor Company mechanic for 28 years. Now I teach diesel technology in a corporate sponsored Career and Technology High School program.

This will be my first summer off since 1979. Woohoo!

Nope, still need some 1000 hours more to be considered for that. I'm still the guy that does the papers :D

Ayia Napa... Got some nice gaps in my memory from that place.

[dotChuckles]

Video Producer and Media Communications Specialist

 

Used to be an Editor and Motion Graphics artist, but I got sick of never getting any sleep so I decided to cause all the grief rather then take it :-) *evil laugh*

[Avilator]

I'm going to start working on a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering in the fall. After that, I will hopefully work for an airframer and make my way up to test pilot status.

I work in social services. Specifically I manage one of the three foster youth group homes that my agency runs. Lots of staff scheduling, budgeting, mentoring/counseling, ensuring regulatory compliance, etc. Beyond the nitty gritty details which absorb most of my days, the main effort is developing means with which to keep our kids in school and away from drugs/gangs/prostitution/etc. Sadly, most of the kids we get are so messed up and traumatized by the time they were finally pulled from their parents home, that there is often very little we can do. I doubt I'll be in this field five years from now, to be honest -- the work is too sad and stressful, for very little reward. I'm actually a pretty competent hobbyist programmer in C/C++, so I suspect that in a few years, once my undergrad loans are mostly paid off, I'll go to grad school for CS and go that route: at least the problems you face in software engineering are solvable.

[Ratfink]

I'm a Project Engineer in Process Automation, mostly working within the UK water industry but also the other utilities, rail, etc.

Is that all?....

[RIPTIDE]

Is that all?....

:lol:

[Griffin]

Damn man. :D Depends on what you can call experience though. If I would list everything that I worked on for at least two months, the list would be over a dozen long ranging from Cessna's, museum jet fighters to cutting edge military aircraft and wide body airliners. And I'm not even 24 yet. :)

My only real knowledge and experience is just in a couple of commercial turbofans.

[xxJohnxx]

I am still going to school for some years. I am getting a 5 year crash curse about electrical energy, motors, etc. After that, I am not sure what to do. Either go there where the money is and continue studying electrotechnic or go where my heart wants to go and apply for a pilot job at Lufthansa. It gonna be tough, altough I made it to the youngest pilot of Austria half a year ago, so maybe I have at least some chances.

[badger66]

Probably forgot a few ..... Cessna Citations , and F-16 ..... Grumman Widgeon , Pitts Special , Cessna Caravan with pontoons for water . Think that's about it ..... and some sorta push , pull Cessna thing .

Well, I'm getting into this thread late ... gotta pay more attention to Chit Chat!

 

I'm retired and not finding it boring at all.

 

Was USAF 1961-1981 and retired as a MSgt. (E7) -- served as an EOD technician/manager while in the Air Force ... spent a year in Vietnam/Thailand as an aerial gunner on AC-119K gunships back in 69-70.

 

Went back to school and picked up a BSEE from Penn State in 1984 then worked as an engineer, program manager, and finally manufacturing manager for Burroughs/Unisys and finally Intel, where I retired for real in 2006.

 

I'll leave it up to you guys as to my age. :)
