What do you do?

[Moki]

Software entrepeneur. I have been involved with several startups. Our last company was purchased by a larger software company and I am still working for them doing product management.

[Coach]

I teach at Esperenza High School in Southern California. I have been teaching for 13 years now. I teach Earth Science and PE. I am the Defensive Coordinator for the Varsity football team and also coach frosh/soph throwers in track and field. I coached frosh / soph wrestling for 5 years but 3 sports was too much. My wife makes all of the money allowing me to have a sweet hobby like boating and coaching. If you ever get board here is our football web site

I sale Fiberglass Reinforcements to a number of different end-use markets throughout the Southwest US including the marine industry . Aside from the heavy air travel, I like the challenge of working with mfg'rs on new composite product designs.

I spent about 15 years turning wrenches on cars. Good money but a damn hard way to make it. The last nine years were in a large GM dealer where I worked 2 years as Asst Manager. 4 years ago, my wife and I had the opportunity to purchace the Allstate agency that she had managed for 6 years. I left the repair business, got my insurance license and went to work for the wife (like she wasn't already my boss ) I also taught Auto Repair for a post secondary school with a racing theme. Right now, I work part time buying and selling used cars whole sale

I design the air conditioning systems for buildings. I have worked for two companies in 38 years, starting when I was 16. All but three of those were with the current company that I own. The engineering was fun. Managing 80 employees and worrying about two offices isn't as enjoyable.

I'm an over-worked and under-paid Engineer in the Semi-Conductor industry. The company that I work for designs and manufactures micro-controllers.

[Razzman]

Technically i'm a graphics and web designer for a large wireless communications company in the California Central Valley, you know, the one that has the death star as a logo! Been with them 7 years now and i seem to spend more of my time project managing and supporting than designing anything . I work from home so it's easy to get on these forums and chat with all the other bums! LOL!

[Domsz06]

District Engineer for a Major Oil Player. I enjoy it. See where it takes me

[dogbert]

I'm CTO & EVP at a venture-backed software company (so basically a software entrepreneur). With the exception of a 7 year stint at the company that Moki now works for, I've been doing start-ups in and around the Austin, TX area for the past 21 years.

What I Do For A Living

I have been involved with computers for 38 years doing software development. I now do web applications and provide IT support for my organization. I work for a non-profit organization with only 10 people.

I am currently at the bottom of the food chain and have no chance for moving further up the ladder. I have managed a datacenter for a larger credit union and commercial banks. It was not worth the toll on my free time. It is not fun to get paged when you are out boating and have to terminate the day. There is more than one pager in the bottom of Watts Bar Lake.

Now my weekends and evenings are my own, no pressure at the job, and I could not care care less about moving up on the status ladder. Life is too short to spend it working.

I also do photography, weddings, special events, layouts for magazines, etc. Sort of the Larry, Daryl, and Daryl approach to photography; "Anthing for a buck". I do photography because I enjoy it and will never do it full time as it then becomes a job.

The water is good 7 months out of the year in East Tennessee. I have a job that lets me enjoy the time on the water.

[raythompson]

I'm the Operations Manager for a city of 10,000 people in Oregon.

Where in Oregon? I am curious because I spent my teen years on a farm in Southern Oregon. I lived 15 miles outside of Rogue River and attended school in Rogue River. I also attended Southern College part time while I was a junior and senior in high school. I left the area in 1969 because of a Viet Nam war commitment. I have been back to the area several times and find that little has changed.

Ray, I like your philosophy. I am curios to know what datacenter you managed, if you dont mind?
