Thread: What is your profession or real job?

Tweet

I am a design engineer, specializing in the design of prototype machinery and factory automation. I worked from 1965 untill 2002 for big engineering firms, and since 2002 I have my own design engineering company www.rupnowdesign.com . Right now I seem to be spending more time dicking around on hotrod websights giving 'unsolicited advice' than anything---business is slow getting started this year. ---Brian

best of luck to you that it picks up, brian.

Three jobs in my life:

- Corporate VP, Engineering of a major natural gas company. (No, not Enron, although I worked for a division of Enron that was sold off in the late 1980's - thank God.)

- President of a small machine design and fabrication business designing and building automated plant machinery. (How 'bout that, Brian?)

- Planner-in-charge for airfield facilities at Naval Station Norfolk.
