[hso]

Wow, just the one I've done for 15 years or before that?

Currently a health and safety professional for a very large science and engineering consulting firm. My boss and I are responsible for industrial hygiene, occupational safety, radiation protection and emergency response for 3,000+ people scattered all over the U.S. and Canada. Most of those folks work in the environmental investigation/remediation/engineering field, but some are involved in other things.

Previously I was a researcher at DOE and before/during that at a major SE university.

I also buy, sell, design and play with knives.

[sharkhunter2018]

Co-owner of a lawn service. I mow more people's grass then I care to know, and when I get home...mowing my own, is the last thing i want to do.

The grass may be greener on the other side.......but it still needs to be mowed!!

 

[PAshooter]

Systems engineer... actually Systems Engineering Functional Manager for a mid sized defense contractor.

So, basically, I'm a cat herder. We make all kind of cool stuff... biggest product line is UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), followed by training and test systems for military stuff, plus we dabble in small arms. Never was active military, but am proud to be doing my part to help equip the brave men and women who are.

Plus, as a manager, I don't really have to do any real work... what a country!

[Blackbeard]

Applications Developer for a large healthcare company.

 

[SCmarksman]

Analytical (al)chemist for a chemical company.

As a group, chemists tend to be attracted to fire and making things that can go boom, so my affinity for the shooting sports and my choice of profession are probably related.
