What do you do for work

[leighthal]

Is there an aviation theme going on?

I get paid for: grocery manager/merchandiser

Things I work at but get no moolah just good perks: mom--aka slave, secretary to my fighter pilot husband (theme condition) and various volunteer chores.... ahem volunteer opportunities.

I'm a full time wife and soccer mom of 3 (Ages 8, 7, and 3) and a part time RN in a neonatal (newborn) intensive care unit. I'm hoping to someday combine my passions and volunteer my time with NILMDTS once my skills are honed in.

 

[kundalini]

I put 5lbs of crap in a 3lb bag.

I do site plans for fluoroscopy equipment. The kind that zaps you with X-rays to see if anything is in your head or heart. I 've only shown the floor and electrical plans, but the drawing package also includes structural floor, structural ceiling, reflected ceiling, mechanical, safety service, conduit schedules, details and notes.​

Maybe some medical theme is being weaved in also. Thank goodness for sick people.... it keeps me in a job. ​

Hey, "Jeep-Man-Josh"!! ...My hubby is an Avionic Tech!

Cool. I'm in Structures.

Aviation is (usually) good money, plus it can actually be fun too.

Commercial aviation (airliners, cargo carriers, that kind of stuff) can get hit pretty hard by high fuel prices though. Corporate aviation (rich people's toys, large corporations) isn't affected by it so much. Government/Military is pretty much safe until Congress decides that we don't need that program anymore (I know a bunch of people at Lockheed who are panicing because they're afraid the F-35 is going to get cancelled).

At this point in the thread, my job seems a bit trivial! Military, pilots, medical workers...

Hey, PreludeX-thanks for your service. BTW, at any point in that first picture was flatulence introduced into the situation?

I'm an electronics and mechanical engineer.

While in the Army I worked on the the Pioneer and Hunter UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) as both an electronics technician and mechanic.. As part of the mechanical portion I did structural repairs on the wings, body and wheel skirts.. They're made of all composite material, so we did many fiberglas and carbon fiber layups.. I also crew chiefed on these planse, directing the movement of them down the runway into position for take off..

no, just pinned down by a 6'6" 270 lb guy for a few drawings i drew onto his reflective belt.. i would mention the drawings, but then this thread would be nsfw

Cool! I'll tell ya, you sell those bumpers for a lot more money than we do. I couldn't believe it when out of curiosity we called the Chevy dealership and asked what a replacement EA was. We sold it to GM for about $12 and GM parts department sells the parts for replacement for about $169!
