What do you do for a living?

[BeasTT]

Curious what everyone does for the daily grind and what degree(s) you have.

I work 3rd shift driving a street sweeper, and work part time doing home construction. Also going into my 4th year of college and still have no fucking clue what I'm going for

[frijolee]

I'm a mechanical engineer for the Walt Disney Company and I'm presently working an install of a couple new attractions at Disneyland Paris.
 
I have an BS ME from UC San Diego where--last I heard--I'm still the only person in the history of the university to ever win all three major engineering awards (two design competitions plus best senior design project).  Did a bit of FSAE there as well.
 
I've been dabbling in entreprenuership since I picked up an MBA from UCLA.  Did the swap while working on the grad degree.

I'm crossing my fingers that I just earned my professional engineering license.  (Don't have official word but I walked out of an 8 hour exam in April with a smile on my face and that's always a good sign.)

I went have a Associate's Degree for I.T. from PTI and a Bachelor's  Degree from University of Pittsburgh for Electrical Engineering. I currently do residential appliance repair work and would keep that job over anything else.

I just moved up from doing accessory installs for mitsu to the quality assurance position. Something i always wanted to do and am currently trying to get into is law enforcement.  Part time i do residential and commercial painting. I dabble in the finishing arts

[frijolee]

I dabble in the fishing arts

That's what I mistakenly read the first time.   

[HTh3r0]

Mechanical Engineer, 1991 honors graduate from Texas A&M.  College was so much fun I thought about getting advanced degrees but being broke it was too tempting to get out and make some money.  Worked in the petro-chemical industry ever since and currently do front end or early stage equipment engineering on large capital projects.  Some times this feels like a part time job with the full time jobs being a husband, father, car enthusiast, etc.

Undergrad Accounting @ Auburn University
Masters of Accountancy @ Auburn University
CPA Exam passed and awaiting licensing
Currently working as an Expatriate/Inpatriate Tax specialist with a Big 4 Accounting firm.

Joel, your tax situation is pretty much what I deal w/ on a daily basis: Company sends engineer(assignee) to foreign country for a project. We do the US tax side of the assignee's tax return, whether it is his/her home or host country. Things you'll probably deal w/ because of the assignment - tax equalization contract, hypothetical tax paid by company, and grossups for assignment-related allowances. Your W-2 Box 1 should look quite nice this year, haha.

you guys are legit.

Primary title:  Network and Systems Engineer - Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc.
Secondary Title:  Technical Implementer - Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc.

It's actually two separate jobs.   Essentially what I do on the primary job is helping oversee one of the nations largest RHIOs (Regional Health Inter-Operability Network), as well as our server farm for our electronic health records software.

Secondary job is designing, testing and implementing (and occasionally installing) server and workflow solutions for electronic medical records and digital medical imaging for onsite installation throughout the country.

I also help in our technical support department, with issues that are too complex for our help desk and support staff.

I have about half of a EE/CE (Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering) degree from Purdue university.   One of these days I'm going to go get an MBA instead.

Mechanical engineer, Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering Calvin College 2007.  Three years as a piping engineer for oil refineries (thank God I'm out of that), currently working as a design engineer designing fruit harvesters.

Lots of engineers here lol

I went to school for Mechanical Engineering and  dropped out in my 3rd year. I hold no degrees lol

For many years I have worked with cars, www.actiontire.com, www.cecwheels.com, Dealer Direct Services and a few others -I went from being a sales rep to basically setting up satellite stores. Got tired of cars and went into building, installing and tuning very large sound systems and DJing -did this freelance for about 7years and just got sick of constantly chasing people for money...  at the end of it all I prob had $50,000 out there floating in debts owed to me that I just walked away from...  taking legal action would have had me in court forever -frankly it would not have been worth my time. 

I now work for a company that specializes in commercial window cleaning, I am a pure water system specialist -basically sales and troubleshooting of RO/DI water systems ranging from portable to huge...  I like the job -but the company is struggling with it's own success -basically a disaster at the moment.

 I'm contemplating finishing school so I have a degree, it just opens so many doors.
