Printer/Slotter/Diecutter Operator.  The wonderous manufacturing of corrugated containers!  (ok,ok boxes) But ya gotta have something for them to ship your Craftsman tool boxes in, and your Mercury Marine stern drives and outboards, and your Kohler sinks and faucets as well.  Those are just  a few of the companies I myself produce packaging for.

Project engineer for local transit authority here is Phila Pa.  Rail power, signals and communications are my speciality.

We are currently replacing the elevated railroad structure thru west philly, trains are in service during the week, and we do all work on the weekends replacing 2 deck sections per weekend. Each deck section is 2 pieces, averaging 80 ft long, and weighing 160,000 to 180,000 lbs. We use two 600 ton capacity cranes to lift the deck sections, going rate for these cranes is around $1K an hour plus operators. Fitting tolerance for these deck sections is 1/4 inch!

[TeeWJay426]

Work as a Hardware Quality Assurance engineer at a large defense contractor... mainly missiles and radars. Am a part-time call firefighter as well- would have liked to have done that full time, but engineering pays too well, as unexciting as it is by comparison.

[dawgs 73]

I am the police; 29 years worth and counting. Been a K9 handler/trainer for 20 plus years. Current dog is "CUDA" and has been with me for the last 3 years. I can retire anytime I want, and am one A$$ chewing away from doing just that...........  After retirement, have no idea what I am going to do. An awful lot of excitement in what I do now and I just don't know if I can deal with pure boredom.
