Re: What do you do for a living?? (76 Red)
I'm a studio technician for the Baltimore CBS affiliate. Depending on the crew for the day I could be: Techcnical director-pushes the buttons that changes the pictures on your tv during live broadcasts, Audio technician- controls the microphones and tape audio, Stage manager- controls all aspect of a show from the studio floor, Prompter operator- rolls the script that the news anchors read, Robo camera operator- uses a single controler with two joysticks to move 6 different cameras during live and taped shows.
I'm also the president of the technicians, IATSE local 833 so I negotiate the contract and make sure it doesn't get violated :boxing
In my spare time I try to enlighten people on the evils of Pan & Scan movies on dvd and install theater systems.

Service Program Manager for the leading supplier of metro router equipment. I get to dream up ways to take customers money in exchange for promising to fix their equipment. Sort of like the service plans at Best Buy.

Re: What do you do for a living?? (427V8)
Worked 23 years as a manufacturing/quality engineer for GE; mostly in aircraft engine stuff. Spent my last 5 years in management - now semiretired and contracting back to them after having quit to move my family closer to grandparents... I fixed boats for awhile after moving here to Maine.
BTW, in most provinces in Canada, it's illegal to call yourself engineer w/o professional certification.

Re: What do you do for a living?? (72vetteman)
Mainly, I swallow pride.
Was an Investment Officer for an investment advisory firm in Connecticut with $250 million under my care. Now in Florida working in a small "Financial Planning" firm (another word for insurance sales) doing whatever it takes to stay employed, "Sure sir. I'll call and set up a tee time for you". :U Man this sucks but I guess I'm happy to have a paycheck. :rolleyes:
