kiwi303 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm a farm boy... wandering around 740 acres with a rifle killing any wild beastie that doesn't make us a profit, and looking after the animals that do I'm investigating the possibility of planting sunflowers for their oil, the growing season should match well with the climate here.

X64v Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 U of A pays me 5k a year to audit 10 classes for them. However, to even audit the classes, I'm forced to pay 5k a year to enroll, which seems like kind of a gyp to me. Then, to make sure I'm auditing the classes, they make me actually do what the professor says and keep what a student would call a '3.0'. So in the end they pay me with 34 of these 'credits' each year, which are good for nothing except 128 of them gets me a fancy piece of paper after 4 years. Apparently the paper is like a coupon that I give to my employer in exchange for more salary. I guess on the bright side, I get to chase girls around all day at work, and don't even have to show up on the days I don't feel like it. I'm a lube tech by night Aren't we all...

Trevor Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 which are good for nothing except 128 of them gets me a fancy piece of paper after 4 years. You will be surprised in a few years how much smarter you are than 98% of the adults you will have to deal with, as a result of your college years.

Over the Top Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 You guys all have way cooler jobs than me... I’m an account specialist with T-Mobile. It’s only a couple steps up the ladder and all I do is tell people that the reason they have a high bill is because they didn't get off the phone for 8 days straight... and because they are stupid... The trick is doing it politely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I develop software/firmware that contols handheld x-ray spectrum analysis instruments. In other words I do embedded software development. The instrument bombards a material with x-rays, the material returns x-rays of different energies determined by the constituent elements. The returned energy spectrum is analyzed to determine which elements are present and their percent weight concentrations. Currently the primary use of our product is metal alloy analysis. I also supervise 2 software engineers and manage all the software development aspects of product development. Wheelman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
