Machinist for a company that makes high-temp vaccum furnaces for the likes of NASA, the US millitary and others for all of their high-temp vaccum furnace needs.

We make furnaces that produce fibre optic cable and ones that have been used in testing of the ceramic tiles of NASA's shuttles for instance...

I work for a large outsourcer (*gasp*.) I am the global desktop support lead for one of our very large customers who makes very thin cell phones.

Before the pouncing begins, I have not offshored one job. Outsourcing is very different from offshoring. I wish the press would use those terms properly.

BTW there was a similar thread a while ago:

For the non computer folk, "applications developer" usually equals "install store bought software, reset client computers when they lock up."

My Bussiness Card says I am the Coordinator, for Training and Development, for a Branch Campus of the University of New Mexico.

This is why I hate bussiness cards.

What my job boils down to is one part technology trainer, one part jargon translator, one part AV tech (we do 2-way videoconferencing over IP, and someohow that job fell to me), one part PC tech, and a varying amount of BS artist. I also teach some entry level IT classes part time.

I'm a control electrician/programmer, working mainly in the water/wastewater industry.

I build big control panels to make all the stuff that the real engineers design play nice together.

And, yes, from my point of view it all pumps the same. Whether the water is clear or brown is of little import.

Holy crap, people go to school for that? Most companies I have worked at have had the least competent people they could have possibly found, beaten them into lower competence, and then made them HR reps.

So that's how you got hired!

That would be funny if I were an HR rep.
