Hey Denny, what were you doing as an audio engineer? Studio work? Live sound?

It seems that I responded to this thread some time ago, but I'll say it again for the record...

By day I'm an acoustician - I generally work with architects when they are designing theaters, concert halls, auditoriums, recording or broadcast studios, or with owners of apartments, hotels, or similar facilities, when they don't want neighbors to hear each other. I also design AV systems for these types of places (not the hotels or apartments).

Nights and weekends I run sound at the local school district Performing Arts Center. The pay is not as good as the day job, and the hours suck, but I love interacting with talented musicians and actors (we get touring acts in addition to the school-age kids). They also have a pretty active internship program, and it's great working with the high schoolers who are interested in running sound and the behind-the-scenes aspects of the theater and live music world; this is probably the most rewarding part of the job.

I also do some freelance audio recording, typically bringing my gear to a live performance and often working under a videographer.

Both...for 30 years I owned and ran a post production studio doing audio for film, video, and radio. I was also the head engineer at a large performing arts facility here. Now I have a small studio in my guest room to produce podcasts about beer.
 
I like how your profession has progressed, Denny. From someone that has the passion but never had the opportunity to work in the industry

Quite frankly, I found that turning your passion into your job for 30 years sucks. After having to be creative and write music on a deadline, to this day I don't enjoy listening to music.
 
I work for a major oil company you have all heard of. Probably use their gas stations at some point. I am a pumper, the guy in the field at the wellhead bringing the gas and oil out of the ground and sending it down the pipeline.
 
former construction worker (framing, siding, roofing, concrete). Then a sheetrocker, now a deputy sheriff in a small county. I miss construction some days.
 
Pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
Figure with the German heritage of the Lutheran Church, brewing was a prerequisite!
 
Retired Army officer, married to another retired Army officer (we met at Ft Leonard Wood Missouri). After retirement i drove semi truck, operated earth moving equipment, became a ski and snowboard instructor, taught motorcycle safety classes and worked in the admin section of our local Police Department. Now i have lots of time to pursue hobbies; homebrewing is one.
 
Industrial designer, consumer products. I designed powertools for one of the pro brands for a decade, half of those years living in Germany. Now I design kitchen products, which I enjoy much more tho I do miss living in Europe. I spend most of my day sketching which is enjoyable regardless of the subject.
