    What do you do for a Job.
    I'm fairly new to the site and I don't know everyone yet. I know there's a few professional snake breeders in here but I was just wondering what everyone else did.


    I'm a Railroad conductor.

    Re: What do you do for a Job.
    Well since I have recently changed jobs I am an Advanced Generation Specialist for a large power company in Ohio! :rolleyes:

    In my old job with Siemens Power Generation, I was a Generator Services Field Service Engineer, which since it was not supplying a service to the public they were allowed to give me the title Engineer even though I did not have the license. Now since the company I work for does supply a service to the public I am no longer allowed to use engineer in my title. As an Advanced Generation Specialist though I do all the work a Plant Electrical Engineer would do except I can not sign off on design changes. Funny thing is all the newer engineers come to me to double check their stuff before they sign off on it and when I need something signed off on they don't even double check my work! :confused:

    Oh and now I am getting OJT for Boiler and Turbine Engineer. Granted again I won't be able to use the title and sign off on drawings myself. Go figure.

    Student - Biology Major. I intend to take the relevant tests to determine if Med School is right for me, but am also considering related options.

    Last summer I worked at the zoo as an intern. I helped care for Lions, Tigers, Zebras, Giraffes, Bongos, Hornbills, Cranes, Kori Bustards, and Wildebeest (plus a few other species). I decided zoo-keeping isn't for me, but that perhaps vet science is... ? I guess we'll see what happens :)

    does this mean you didn't do well on the tests, no med schools have accepted you, you're not sure if med school is right for you, or D: all of the above?????

    I'm not sure if Med-School is perfect for me yet. I have not taken steps as of yet to try.

    I have done my due-diligence, and I needed some time to think it over.

    I have yet to venture even to try, as I have not been able to focus most of my attention onto it, as it absolutely requires.

    LadyOhh,

    I hope whatever you decide to pursue, it ends up being the right thing for you.

    If i haven't decided to go a different path, I'll probably fling myself right in to it after i graduate. I already feel like i'm waaaaaay behind.

    Doesn't matter since I still make as much as they do base pay and since I don't have Engineer in my title I get Overtime where as they don't! :banana:
