I do sales in the science field. We take on projects that pharmaceutical companies outsource due to capacity, specialization, or time constraints. Specifically, we make products that go into clinical trials and sometimes into the commercial pharmaceutical market under other company's names.
I also am a partner in a 20 something employee company with my brother selling into the science field and quality control departments. Specifically, we sell really fancy refrigerated refrigerators and rooms.

ROV Pilot and Technican
ROV Pilot and technican. ROV stands for "Remotely Operated Vehicles". These are unmanned submersibles that are controled from the surface. ROV's today are high tech, with fiber optic , sonar, Video , amd computer systems. And we maintain and repair it all, from 5 vdc to 3000vac. Also hydraulic sufrace handling equipment (winchs, booms, etc).
We operate in deep water up to 10,000 feet. I don't know if any of you watched the "Liberty Bell" recovery, or seen the Titanic on the Discovery channel, well that is the company I work for. :cool:
For fun when I am home, every day I am in the shop making sawdust. I get several weeks off at a time, so this is ideal, cause I get to work on a project everyday til it is finished. :D

IT Monkey
I babysit applications running on computers all day. And darn if it don't feel good to go home in the evening and do/make things that are physical and tangible. IT can be very engaging and challenging, but it still boils down to futzing around with ones and zeros.

Almost retired. I work one day per week. 27 Years at IBM in Corporate Finance followed by several Controller positions in smaller firms. All my life my avocation was DIY jobs (personal only). I've built and remodeled two kitchens, installed two central a/c units in my homes (including ducts) built some furniture and now I am assembling my first real shop to play with. If i ever get my ClearVue installed, my wife may let me build something.
I consider myself a beginner in woodworking and frankly I am awed by the knowledge and goodwill and willingness to share on this forum. I feel that I have made many friends just by ready the Q and A's. Thanks

For the past 8 years i have been making furniture and cabinets in my own shop. Started out primarily with log furniture and railings, but that seems to have just been a passing fad. 2 or 3 years ago there was probably 30 shops in my area that did just the same(log) stuff. Today probably 10 remain, so i had to retool for cabinet making(purchase all kinds of toys), but i am having just as much fun as the first day i took the leap into self employment. Steve
