I' am a geek working as a UNIX systems administrator for the last ten years. Lately I've been spending most of my time on virtualized environments using VMware and Xen with system security running a close second.

I'm planning to make this part-time contracting soon and go back to school to become a mechanical engineer.

I'd like to say I am a guitarist but I don't get paid for that very often.

I am fresh outta college with nothing to show for it, due to the 'financial crisis' and cannot obtain any loans to continue my studies. I was going to school for Network administration specializing in network resources (routers switches etc). During my studies I took a job providing technical support with various companies, starting with Lockheed (aero division), IBM (supporting Hess oil), now United Launch Alliance. Although Im taking the IT route Im still not sure of what I want to do... only time will tell though.

thinking of pursuing MCSE for Server administration cause network terminals are boring as hell...

Just a lowly labourer in the forest industry. Do the overtime thing during the winter to pay for summer. No worries just take off when the mood strikes me.

Momaru · March 5th, 2010, 03:27 PM

For the moment, a research technician/lab manager working on mammalian perception of the magnetic field. Interesting but frustrating work due to small tolerance window for testing conditions, amongst other things.

250fan · March 5th, 2010, 04:08 PM

up until a year ago I was living the dream as an Airline Pilot for Continental Express.....but the economy took a toll on the profession and the company parked a lot of airplanes......I did a career change and now work for Chevron!!!

Alex · March 5th, 2010, 04:11 PM

You landed with a good company, the wife really enjoys working for Chevron.

Voodoo Rufus · March 5th, 2010, 04:12 PM

VoIP really isnt the "telecommunications buster" most people think it is. Even for VoIP to work...somewhere along the line...there's a telecommunications company.
