I am an Electrical Engineer and design wireless communications for natural gas pipeline SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition). I work in DT Houston.

[genettim]

I work for the government.... I'm currently stationed in Texas, but nobody knows where they'll send me next! My primary job is doing what I'm told... and being at the correct place, at the correct time, wearing the correct uniform. It's too easy.

[Chewer D-cl]

a reply to Vicegrips about getting an administrative degree....having been a high school administrator principal/vice principal/asst. principal for 25 years, would recommend the following regarding getting your degree in administration: GO LAY DOWN UNTIL THE THOUGHT PASSES...PERIOD! If you are a good school teacher, then stay there because that is where the real need is...with the kids! Making an impact is in the classroom and that is where true leadership begins and ends!!!!End of story!

I probably sit by you on the 217 bus and just don't know it... LOL...

I am an IT Infrastructure manager (Manager of IT propeller heads) for a Fortune 500 oil and gas company located in DT Houston. Yes, I love my job and the company that I work for.

[CPJim-cl]

I am a full-time student teacher (which I pay 12 credit hours of tuition to do)
I am a part-time Children's Pastor (which helps pay the bills)
Both in a small town just west of Wichita, KS called Goddard.
Both are incredibly rewarding on SO many levels-except financially

[kevink868]

Political/public affairs advertising consultant (though currently on a looooong hiatus). Poll analysis, strategic development, and finally ad production. Cool gig, though it has a ridiculous churn/burnout rate.

[ER Doc]

Board Certified physician in Emergency Medicine. I work in ERs in the metro Kansas City area. Long road to get where I am, but I really like my job.

[pv1191-cl]

I am a Gaming Regulator. What is that? Well I work in the Indian Gaming business. In short I have to make sure that all rules and regulations from the state and the feds are in line. Truth be know Indian gaming is the most regulated gaming in the world. I am the first line of defense. I am proud to work for a tribe that is committed to doing things RIGHT. They have to pay us, we have to be there, but, in reality they have little control on what we do or what we decide. I spent many years in law enforcement so that prepped me what was in store. Now I'm a supervising agent....or Stupidvising Agent...........Anyway I like what I do and have become very proficiant in my craft. Wanna count a 6 deck shoe? Been there done that. Don't believe the hype. ANYONE with the proper training can beat the system.............JUst don't get caught by me!! There will a polite conversation to leave the tables. The second time you will receive a bright shiny pair of handcuffs and strip search in your future.

[Mr. Mojo Risin]

*Law Enforcement*

I'm a police officer in the Baltimore, MD area.

Eighteen years has taken its toll and the job has lost its allure for the most part.

[Toasted Coastie]

I work for a government contractor. The same one that makes the SM-3 that knocked out the satelite. I also work for the government part time (only 2 years left) as a Chief Boatswain's Mate. They let me run a reserve unit in Mass.

Besides all that fun, I am a part time student working on a BS in Homeland Security/Criminal Justice/Emergency Management. It's a mouthfull, but it sure is interesting.

Most important of all, I am a dad to twins, and they rock!

[Jimmy Ray]

New York State Corrections Officer for 261/2 yrs. It ain't that bad, it pays the bills.
