Geologist and Project Manager for a large national environmental consulting/engineering firm (NASDAQ TTEK)...managing to stay employed in this crap economy!! In college I had dreams of doing "geology"...in the real world I manage projects, try to keep my clients out of trouble with the state and federal regulators and spend most of my time going blind looking at a computer screen.

Very interesting thread.

Journeyman System Operator for Pacific Gas & Electric PG&E. Roughly, I trouble-shoot 12kv/21kv electrical outages and then re-route power back to undamaged areas.

Cool Thread, glad I was bored and snooping around the forum...

I am currently in the Army working as a IASO, Information Assurance Security Officer. Big fancy title to say I work at a computer all day long.

In the civi world I work as a Level 2 helpdesk tech, meaning I get to fix computers when they break, hardware and software issues.

I've done many different jobs in my past, Truck Driver, Residental Contruction, Medical Records Clerk, and a few other odds and ends from time to time.

Congradulations! I know the feeling of finishing something almost but not quite as hard just defended my (Masters) little over a year ago! lot of work for a little sheet of paper! :)
Since the job industry is currently sucky I own a computer repair/network company on the side and work for Hamilton County (Chattanooga) as a Health Inspector.

Work in Engineering and Operations for the local electric utility down here in southern Maryland. I mostly sit and stare at computers. Not the most exciting job, but people like it when their lights stay on.
