What do you do for work?

kgoings · 10-15-2008, 09:53 AM

IT crap, have done Cisco routers and switches for over 12 years, and this year have been getting into Linux servers, Perl programming, and all that fun stuff.

Oh and I know some IBM mainframe stuff too...like the dinosaur

I bartend 3 nights a week at a friend's restaurant just to have something to do, but for the past 3 years I have been a stay at home dad. The wife does the real earning.

Full time college student, studying to get my ba in criminal justice. I want to be a Sheriff's Deputy.

And part-time park ranger at a campground/lake. It's a pretty fun gig

Electrical Engineer. I work in R&D for a very large semicon company. Cannot tell you who, but chances are if you bought a computer in the last few years you have a patent or two of mine at work "inside".

I'm a fireman ... which is to say I run around all day putting out fires started by the idiots that work here.

Pyrotechnic chemist, working with military and civilian pyrotechnics (in Sweden!). Fireworks is in my heart but sadly enough not a part of my job anymore!

Getty, pitman is right. go to usajobs search the areas your interested in working. If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me or email or whatever. I can elp you with KSA's (which I hate) if need be. Also, apply for whatever you want, let them tell you no rather than saying you only have xxx experience. Trust me on that. Also, be paitient as like anything with the GOV (unless you owe money) they move pretty damn slow. Again, fell free to ask anything

Thanks, KSAs suck. I know how slow the gov can be. I tried to become a secret service agent, got all the way to the polygraph (2nd to last step) and after that got a letter saying there were more qualified applicants. Whole process took 6 months.

I've done a lot of stuff in my short working days. However, right now I work for TexCigars.com doing orders and customer service and whatnot.

Partagaspete · 01-09-2009, 02:41 PM

I am an Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT) or as I like to say "I Do Medical Things" because basically I do everything a Medical group does on a limited degree. I see patients, do dental, pshyc, Bio, Public Health, etc. etc. etc.

Medically speaking I am Jack of all trades master of none.

Currently flying a desk as a Flight Chief in a Medical Group.
