I'm a Manufacturing Engineer for a major manufacturing company. The equipment that I'm working with now cuts the hell out of trees (Forestry Equipment). If interested, watch the video, this is just one type of forestry machines that I help get built everyday.

Well, for the time being I am a purchasing manager for a small chemical company but I'm waiting for them to draw up a severance package for me. Not sure what I want to get into next but the petro-chem industry is booming in the Houston area so I shouldn't have a problem finding a job even if it is in procurement again.
I work in Crash Safety for a company that preps and crashes all of Ford Motor Co vehicles. I actually worked for Ford for 28 years and took the buy-out package last year and went to work for the supplier doing basicly the same work. It's neet seeing all the vehicles 2 or more years before they actually get to the public.
