I spent three years of my five in undergrad in EE, but ended up with a business degree. Mostly because I couldn't decide what I wanted to do for work. Now I do contract administration (I deal with our major OE customers that are under contract to buy parts from us, mostly helicopter fuel pumps and ECUs) for an aerospace company. The things we build are interesting but my job is crap. On the upside, the business degrees should help with this whole crazy "make a living making and selling beer" thing I'm trying for.

BS URI '05, MBA UConn '07
 
Well I teach in a building that houses both my School of Computing and the College of Engineering so I'm surrounded by Scottys at work.
 
I'm a cook at heart but since the economy tanked the local mom n pop restaurants have been hit hard in my area. Went into fast food management since my wife and I just had our first child for job security. Got tired of working for a year abs showing up to my shift only to find we were going out of business.
On the plus side, fast food eliminates the narcissistic executive chef with an alcohol problem. (I may have contributed before I knew what kind of problem it was)

I went to school for electronics engineering. 12 years later I'm a locomotive engineer. Yes, I drive the train. Does that count?

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.
 
I'm not an engineer but I am a Sys Admin which is technical and entails some engineering of networks, hardware, and process mechanics.
 
I'm a maintenance manager that has engineers who report to me. Me myself, not an engineer. I do sleep with a metallurgical engineer every night though and I gotta tell ya, does not help the beer taste better!

Years ago I was doing a roof and the the homeowner(engineer) came out with the entire roof and each shingle laid out to scale on graft paper.He tried telling how to lay out a roof.I looked at him with a blank stare and went back to work.

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!
 
BS in Electronic Engineering Technology.

Work as a process engineer for a wireless company.

Definitely want to design a brew station in the future.
 
Transportation engineer. A superhero of sorts tho I'd rather not toot my own horn and reign down my own accolades even if they are well deserved...
