The short version: software developer.
The long version: semiconductor test engineering for equipment that costs more than I'll make in a lifetime, that processes things you can't even see (transistors on microchips). I can truly say that I've never "touched" or "seen" what I work on.....at least not with my hands or unaided eyes.
However, the technology world and it's stress level makes me wonder about starting a Vette restoration shop. Restoring things is tough work but at least I can hammer on the Vette when it gets demanding!
and don't relish in the Gators losing this last weekend. There's a lot of time between now and when we play the "girls" at the end of the year.

I'm currently an associate lecturer in chemistry at UW-Stevens Point. I'm classically trained as a biochemist, and may be looking for a good industry job.

Didn't we have this thread a couple of months ago?
I am VP Sales for a company that manufactures restaurant equipment and aftermarket automotive parts. One day I hope to be a pro surfer. Or at least just look like one.
