I was just on the "where are you" thread and got the idea to start a thread to see what everybody does for an occupation. Put down what you do now and also what your favorite job has been.

I am a design modeler for a heavy construction company. I use SolidWorks to design concrete structures such as, parking garages, high rise business buildings, prisons, etc.

I think my favorite job--if you can call it that, was being an actor in a passion play about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. I was a part of the show for 6 years. It is called The Promise and it is in Glen Rose, TX. There is also a show of the same play in Branson, Missouri. I played everything from a mounted Roman soldier to the appostle James son of Zebede, and in my later years of the show I was one of the Pharisees. I got to be the bad guys and good guys.

Let us know what you do and your favorite job.

I retired after 35 years with Lockheed Martin as a military contractor. My last job for them was to design install and maintain an Audio Visual system in a multi-use facility. The system collected data from various equipments and we could record or display this in a number of locations. I tried retirement for two (2) years and got bored. I'm now doing catastrophic adjusting to stay busy.

I don't work for Dallas, but in a suburban department. Photography is one of our primary functions in Crime Scene, but not quite the kind I like to do in my side business.

The fancy title I put on my resume: Industrial Piping Designer.

The truth: I'm a CAD drafter.

I just finished my first college degree - an Associates in Engineering Technology - at age 38. Before that, I was a self-taught geek and internet developer.

I'm still a geek and live in a fully wired home (ethernet in the garage!) with a half-dozen computers, numerous game consoles, and so on. After my procedure, I'll probably need to get outside more... not a bad thing.
