Just stole this topic from a previous thread? Post what you do (for a job) and if you think you are a geek.

I am in college right now for mechanical engineering, but work full time as a Designer for an engineering firm. The previous owner of my 7 was was an electronics engineer......

 

College major is Computer network engineering/Administration...

Job history is short enough to list...

First job was Movie theater concessionist... Would never do it again. I hate customers and after that job, I now hate popcorn... That was 6 years ago.

Occasionally I was an Apprentice electician. The unions hire students over the summer here. Electricians make damn good cash. Loved it.

Hotel/Conference resort A/V tech... Had to wear a suit and tie. Hated that aspect. Made 4 digit paychecks every two weeks. Loved that aspect.

Computer technician... One time government contractor, another time for a computer rental company. Had to deliver computers for the rental company... Offroaded and drifted the Econolines, Neutral bombed and did burnouts in the 7 ton Isuzu NPR box truck. Got it to a top speed of 87 MPH when it's governed at 65.

Mechanic at local tire shop. Loved it, except for being rushed... I like to make sure brakes don't squeak, battery terminals are clean, and alignments are dead on perfect. None of this just barely in spec and coming back for follow-up repairs.

Right now, I'm an electronics technician for a Microwave communications company. We make satellite, radar, and cell phone transmitter parts. All custom, small production, made to customer's spec.

Yeah... I'm a geek.

 

I'm an engineer, working mostly with RF. I prefer the word "nerd", though.

 

College student here, but going to Law School in a bit. I'm still a bit of a geek nonetheless, but its ok I admit it.

 

Computer Science Major in High School.
A+ Certification
Work as comuter tech (definatly a geek)

 

Raises hand..... yup nerd here. Been involved with 'puters a very LOOOONG time. Right now I own a computer security firm that allows me to do battle with "black hats nerds" all_day_long.

 

inittab-whats a long time, were you around in the days of valves, water cooling and plug board programing?

I'am a nerd's nerd, an epidemiologist with two doctorates.

 

Put a check in the box marked "nerd" for my name too.

I'm a CAD draftsman now. In commercial architectural woodworking. I've also been really into computers since I was about 10. So yeah, im definatly a geek.

 

used to be an engineer, thats what i was going to college for, but i hated it, so i dropped out and started my own business. That and I take a couple classes at the local college, but for stuff I enjoy, not worthless calc classes. Guess I'm not geeky enough to enjoy math, lol

 

Structural engineer, and cool as ****.

Right on.

 

Nerd = used to mean a 4 letter word.

Nerd = now equals a 6 figure paycheck.

 

Real Estate Agent here.

inittab: WOW you have a picture of Kryten!!!!! I love Red Dwarf!!!!

 

Hmm....

I was an internet sales manager for 2 car dealerships for 3 years.

Then worked as a data technician for an internet company that collected car inventory info, took the pictures of cars, etc...

Now, I just sit home all day, selling junk on Ebay.

I don't know if that makes me a geek, or a nerd.......or just lazy.

 

umm... not really a nerd, head high school football coach, but I do teach a computer class along with a social studies.

 

Nerd/Geek here as well... Computer repair tech, Field engineer for NCR, just your plain ol' average tech head here. Looking to get into mill work and design stuff that I haven't played with since high school.

 

Nerd here, been on computers since 1988 (that would make me 5 when I first started) now I am in college as a CS major looking into going into software engineering, (I code therefor I am, Codito Ergo Sum) As said in other thread I am an avid Linux user, but have had to use windoze for games, and yess the 7 will have a mini-ITX Linux box in it hooked perminately to my Haltech, along w/ the pioneer sound system.

 

Biochemistry professor, which is nerd-like

 

**** i'm an outcast...i'm a mecanic. at the shipyard where were commonly called:
-knuckle draggers
-yard dogs

but how many of you get to build catapults for the aircraft carriers and then go out to sea and test them...ok so it was a despret attempt to glorify my blue collar job

 

i work full time washing dishes.. and i admit i am a computer geek.... but the ladies still like me

this ******* forum keeps me up all night... i swear to god its a curse... DAMN THE FORUM!!!

hehe..

I'm a self-employed electronic repairman specializing in analog recording devices. I suppose that's a bit nerdy, but at least I'm not a Cyberdork, or a Compudweeb.

 

No need to justify it man. It sounds like a good job.

 

rx-7 crazy: you are across the water from me! must be the closest forum member to Virginia Beach!

Maguire: I do Mechanical design for a Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering firm here! get to deel with casework drawings alot.

 

you should come to our rex mettings some time

 

Yup! You're a nerd too!

 

computer tech for the government over here = total geekness for me.
