    LOL... They used to call me the train driver. I've never been aboard one so if you're actually driving one? Yes that counts... ;)

    Network/Server 0perations manager. Refused to be called a techie or engineer. That's almost as bad as being an Apple Genius, well maybe not as bad. Oh, and I hate computers and non brewing related gadgets.

    Clinical mental health counselor. I assess people who are homicidal/suicidal/psychotic and determine if they need to be in a psych facility against their will. Brewing lets me challenge myself in a much different way.

    Stationary Engineer. I work with Boilers and Chillers/Absorbers. Great Union job!



    Not as fancy as some other types of engineers... but at least I don't work in a cubicle!

    Just a plumber but I have fixed a lot of engineer's problems. Usually takes a screw driver or a pair of channel lock's and just a little common sense.

    Earthquake geophysicist here!

    But because studies on seismic hazard and ground motion have rather important implications for the built environment, I've worked with engineering seismologists/geologists, civil engineers, and structural engineers on things.

    I guess, if we're really going to walk that fine line, I was part of an engineering department for six months...

    Electrical tech with a background of startup and comissioning of combined cycle/peaker generation plants. Most recently I got off the road and took a job at the city's waste water treatment plant. Oddly enough the process is pretty similar to brewing.....

    That if you ply any other trade than engineering, you're not "one of us"? :D

    It is an interesting way to put it - I've met some engineers that certainly think that way but I don't find it favorable. :drunk:

    I can't remember whether or not I was studying in Mech Eng when I posted here before - but Ocean Engineer BS and MS.

    I run an EDM dept at a machine shop. Lots of medical stuff, high end o-ring molding, and other things. Engineers are useful and necessary, but are normally a PITA.

    Looking at correlation between brewing process and engineering regimen. People who like process control and technical side of brewing have engineer tendencies or are engineers.
