I'm with speedy66, I'm just a lowly milkman. And for ten years before that I was welding and machinist trash (inside joke). I always hated school. I vowed never to return after high school. Thats why I do manual labor everyday. Hey, all you young'ins GO TO SCHOOL !

I'm a mechanical engineer, I currently work in an industrial fabrication shop. Basically, I get to build/design/test stuff and play with heavy equipment all day.

"Phone Guy"; install/maintain/troubleshoot POTS, Centrex, and PBX systems; now doing mux'd and "dry line" DSL, 256k/256k up to 4MB/7MB (up/down)data rates.

That is, when our Area Manager isn't out of town and I'm strapped, chained and velcro'ed to his stinkin' desk! I may be good at it; but I hate running the crew for weeks at a time!
