I work for a non-profit institute. I do public health policy research and program evaluation, mostly focused on tobacco use prevention. I've done a little bit of work investigating beer marketing practices as well.

What kind of engineer? Where do you go to school?

I'll call it biomedical... technically "biological engineering", but I'm in the biomedical stream (the other one is bioprocessing, much more relevant to beermaking but overall kind of boring to me). The school is the University of Guelph, better known for its agricultural types, but overall not a bad school for engineering.

Graduated last year with a BS in Biomedical Engineering, I am in grad school now.
 
I'm an Engineer/Installer for a major window coverings manufacturer. You know all those fancy homes where you can control the lights, window coverings, and dog door,with a small touchscreen in the living room? I make our products work with those control systems.

I'm a log scaler.I measure and grade round logs to determine net content of lumber,veneer,shingle/shake etc.(expressed in board feet).Basically i determine the relative value of each individual log.I've been doing this for the same outfit for 20 years and unfortunately have witnessed first hand the decline of the timber industry in the northwestern US.I'm 10-15 years from retirement but don't think my job will last that long......I truly hope I'm wrong:( .
Cheers:mug:
 
As of the last year, I am a stay at home dad. It is the best job that I have ever had.
Before that, I worked in a chemical plant in the mechanical reliability dept.
I have been home brewing only for the past year. I should have started earlier. In my last job I had access to all the stainless steel material I needed, and a crew of welders and fitters at my disposal.

So, I guess you have heard the one about the blind log scaler . . .
 
Dude, I swear I posted in this thread....but I just looked and I couldn't find a post anywhere.

Anyways, I'm a 4th year apprentice in the Carpenters Union out here in Las Vegas, Nv. Local 897.
 
I'm a full time student and I also work full time in a call center. :drunk: Luckily, I'm getting laid off (center is closing) in about 3 months. Looks like I'll be brewing a lot more with all that free time!
 
I am a power plant operator/mechanic. I work a a GE Frame 6 Gas Turbine in San Ardo oil fiels. I work a rotating schedule. I also am a freshman high school football coach and I am also the High School Cheer advisor.

Yep, I now work at the only brewery in Mississippi...Lazy Magnolia.


So, yeah, I get paid to brew and package beer. :p

:mug:


I am not a brown ale fan at all, but heard your Pecan Brown is killer - actually has taste to it (unlike that watery crap from England).

Also heard you guys are trying to hook up with a distributor for Southeast Louisiana. Will definetely try one, or two, or........
 
Environmental Consultant. I deal with petroleum releases and contaminant remediation. It's a good job but I miss my days of being a ski bum.

I work for HunterDouglas. I work with all types of systems. The most common are Lutron, Crestron and vantage. Our products don't actually accept instructions from the systems. I program (serial protocol) and troubleshoot the aftermarket (ESI) motor controllers used, for both AC and DC motors.
 
Possibly the coolest job ever, I work at a theme park in Orlando, Fl. My job is to maintain and repair roller coasters:rockin:

I'm a patrol officer for a police department in west suburban chicago...definitely glad summer is coming to an end even though I personally don't like the cold weather.

I know someone in Schaumburg who is growing weed at his house? Could you possibly arrest him!?;)
 
I have been in the copier industry for over 20 years. Done almost every job in on around or related to office equipment. I am currently an operations manager for a small KonicaMinolta / Oce / Lanier / Duplo reseller. Title means nothing - I still set-up, repair, and deliver equipment. Also do cycle billing, customer service, vendor relations, HR, repo man - you name it. Not a glamorous job but it pays the bills.
