I'm a building engineer and take care of a couple of office buildings. We handle all of the HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. The patience that I have developed by dealing with 1000 prima donna office workers has helped me immensely with my modeling!

I basically do the same as Cary, but besides the 1000 prima donna office workers, I got 600 psychiatric patients that live there, to worry about also. Plus a few sub-ordinates that fall into the patient category.

Just like the Navy, it's not a job, it's an adventure!

Being a designer and Art director by trade that is exactly what I do in my own company now for 2,5 years and business is going well.

Im a development engineer in a packaging R&D group, for a German medical company.
So plastic at work and play!!

A similar thread to this ran on Missing Links about 6 months ago. It ended up with about 50% of the modellers, being engineers, of one kind or another.

I'm a process unit operator at a chemical plant. I make catalysts that are loaded into refinery reactors to clean,breakdown,and reform crude oil into fuels and lubes. I also run another unit that makes catalysts that turn waste streams of Benzene into Styrene resins. . Being a Senior Operator I sometimes get to train and evaluate new operators and.................new chemical process engineers. God Bless you Propeller Heads!
