Quote, originally posted by AtWork Â»(rasermon) A trip to the US is not complete until a visit to the grocery store is made (and of course the liquor store) So true! They got double the selection of Hamburger Helper there (the best food on earth!), and they have deep dish H.Helper too! Even Chef-boy-ar-dee has a few deep-dish casserole dishes. I thought that stuff would only be in heaven!By the way, I am a CAD technician (draftsperson) who designs layouts for the temporary support structure used to hold up huge concrete slabs on high rises, while the concrete dries.

There are some pretty interesting jobs out there. After scrolling through this thread, I guess I'm the only boring accountant. I've been thinking of making a move (I really want a crack at selling autos, but I'm too chicken to make the jump while the kids are still in daycare).

Guess I could post an update from my earlier post now that I'm actually employed. I'm a Systems Administrator for a community services organization here in Montana. The best part of it is that we have offices all over the state and since there are computers in all of them, I get to do a lot of travelling. Can't complain about a company funded drive through Glacier National Park for certain.

I work as a Planner / Scheduler / Toolmaker / Machinist at a large Tool & Die shop in Nashville, TN.The work is as fun as work can be I guess, since it stimulates creative thought - stress level gets to be extreme to much of the time though.The work load flip-flops between working towards impossible schedules or standing around with nothing to do worrying about losing your job.Does this scenario sound familiar to any of you?

I know what you mean about going crazy at home though. I recently spent 11 months unemployed (not by choice). I wish you a speedy return to the workforce, and all the best in these times. I hope everything works out for the best for you.

I just realized that I'm the only female curtain engineer in my building. We have two other girls in our group, but they are both working side airbag projects (seat mounted bags)..making me the only girl working on side curtains. I know I'm not the only one in the world though, but it's still pretty cool.

I know I'm not the only one in the world though, but it's still pretty cool. There's getting to be more & more women in engineering, but the numbers are climbing very slowly. I would assume that the automotive industry would be a leader in recruiting women, considering the number of advancements that come from that industry, you need all the brain power you can find.The ag industry is not the case (for hiring women, especially in engineering). I walk around trade shows that showcase farm equipment, and the only women I see are farmer's wives and women in front-line sales (not technical sales or engineering or such).And the fact that I was promoted to the head of the department at such a young age just makes it that much cooler. While there are benefits for working for a large company, the rise to the top of a small one is much quicker, as the "ladder" is pretty much a step stool.

Way to bring this thread back from the dead!I'm an administrative assistant/office administrator at a mid size tax company.Most of the time I like it and it's the first job I've had that everyone likes each other and we all get along really great. February 1 - April 15 I can get all the overtime I want so that is awesome! Our office does over 1200 tax returns in the year and most of those (about 1000-1100) are during those two and a half months... I have to process every single one and do my regular work which keeps me busy by itself during off season. So I'm really really busy during tax season.This year we switched computer programs and our office was the pilot office - so the end of April I may be travelling to Illinois, Kentucky and California to train the other office administrators!!

Wow, holy old thread!! I'm in the Air Force as an EOD technician (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) which is basically bomb squad. We're the people that take care of the roadside bombs and IEDs (same thing). Robots, bomb suits and lots of blowing stuff up. It's pretty cool and I've got to go all over the world, unfortunately to Iraq/Afghanistan a few times. I actually had a story done on me while I was in Marjeh, Afghanistan http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35...asia/ I'm the one with the metal detector.
