OT: What's your job/career??

[Makinus]

hey, cool, 3 lawyers already! what about we make a lawyer/advocate shipset? with special weapons like "civil lawsuit", intelligencce projects like "habeas data" that give all information on an enemy empire and special engines like "habeas corpus" that allow free movement? (just kidding)

My post was a little shorte previosuly (had a court audience in a few minutes and had to hurry), but i do love my profession, even being a little overworked at this time, and in today´s courts a lawyer needs to have a very good grasp of computers, bacuse toay, computers is and indispensable tool of every law office...

And i love to play strategy games in my (very short nowadays) free time...

Not hardware but it might be fun to add it to intelligence projects. Legal actions to take when they put a colony into your claimed system, or when they destroy a population transport full of your people, or they get caught stealing your technology.

Nuclear Test Engineer. I work with US Navy crews to operate/maintain/repair/test reactor plants on navy submarines. (That's about as much detail as I can give.) I am a middle-level supervisor which requires anywhere from 30 minutes per day up to 100% of my time to be spent on board the ships - depending on what we are doing. Although my job doesn't actually require me to go to sea with them, I have been invited to ride the submarines several time for training, sea trials, etc. I am responsible for operating the reactor plant safely under all conditions during the maintenance period. This is important because much of the complex maintenance is beyond what the the ship's crew is trained to do. We "qualify" under a rigorous training program to be as proficient and knowledgeable as the Navy operators with special emphasis on performing maintenance (as opposed to the crew which specializes on operating the ship at sea). We operate the plants to set up safe conditions for work/maintenance/repairs, allow the various shops do complete the work, then test and certify their work when complete. Currently I am 8 months into a 26 month project to refuel one of them during an overhaul. The 8 months doesn't cover about a year spent doing planning.

Not too long ago, I was a full-time Realtor and a full-time cab driver, while in my spare time I did computer repair.

whew!

Now I travel throughout the largest real estate board in the world (geographicly speaking) teaching technology seminars to realtors.

But according to my kids, I'm really a superhero. They claim I'm a Jedi and I travel all over the place saving people from the bad guys. (I watch Star Wars a lot with my kids).

Since people may not feel like reading all the old posts, the original intent of the thread was to share what your job or career is.

Update from me: Working in the warehouse of a molybdenum mine in central BC. Freight shipping and reception is pretty much my job. Busy job. Hectic job. Makes the days go by fast
