What do you do for a living?Follow

I am senior technical project manager/engineer for a top-10 bank. So far I've been able to ride out one of the worst IT depressions in the past 30 years. Thank god for the innate wisdom of knowing when to jump ship at the exact right moment. A good friend of mine told me that "corporate executives are like rats...when the ship is sinking they are one of the first to jump off."

One of these days I hope to switch from system engineering to programming. Trying to do this without taking a huge cut in pay will be a good trick.

LOL! What do I do for a living? I have a job that consists of signing in drunk people on Thursdy nights.

I live with my parents so really I'm not doing it for a living.

I feel for ya when dealing with engineers that come up with a great design; while using a paper napkin; with crayons; at the end of a 3 martini lunch. Then they give it to somebody that knows how to design something for translation into something that has a chance of being a completed project. A week or two later this engineer suddenly proclaims to the world that they "Glamerous Engineer of the Century" has come up with this magnificant work of art.

Of course whenever this happened I would do something low down and mean. Leaving out one small nearly insignificant detail that isn't a huge "problem" and is really a 5 minute fix on the drawing. A couple of days after the design has been presented to the world some non-existant designer takes a mini vacation and the engineer is left floundering when the tiny detail has been uncovered. Now the part can't be built and there's an airplane sitting in the factory that can't move forward until this part arrives.

Ok, shutting up and getting coffee.

im at school, i help the economy in no way and leech off the government all you hard working tax payers made, harhar!

I am a Marine who works in the Sig Intel field also. In Tape's defense not many people in the service make the distinction between NSA and CSS. When we are stationed at Ft Meade we all work in the same building often in the same offices right beside our Civilian counterparts. NSA/CSS are like one in the same pretty much.

Recently had a career change from lobbyist to event planner, and am struggling artist on the side.

I am presently slumming at Macromedia as an admin whilst studying Game Design.
