Would you call Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs an Engineer? You can be an engineer if you want to.

Developer and company CEO.

Working until 6pm and then wasting my time on video games

not bad for the CEO!

[Ngt]

Well that's a little company so far. We created the company as 3 (2 friends of mine). So I don't know if CEO was the perfect term for it. Maybe that's another word in that situation.

when I actually show up at home base once a year (hopefully about a month each year).. I have the official title.. 无所事事者

but I'm usually well liked, because I always pay for drinks. that entire month.. it's like a
company bonus..

There may be a good amount of engineers on GH but essentially my job description as a millwright is to make engineers look good.  In a nut shell I install, remove, replace, repair, modify, and maintain machinery in facilities ranging from grain handling / processing to nuclear power houses.  Here are some pics from my current job installing a 50 ton and a 25 ton bridge crane.


One of the bridge beams for the 50.  This piece is 24,000 pounds and spans 65 feet.


The crane used to set the parts/pieces.


The 25 installed.


The 50 ton installed.  The combined weight of the parts we set for the 50 was around 65,000 pounds plus the 266 feet of rail that weighed 85 pounds per foot.

Edit:  Lots of spelling fixes.  I need to quit posting longer posts from my phone.

[Puddsy]

That's really cool, melvang.

[CPTBadAss]

Thanks for looking out for me Melvang. Someone's gotta make my drawings look good.

I don't so much make the drawings look good, that's your job.  My job is to make the parts fit within allowable tolerances.

Never too late man! After 7 odd years of hating life working as a desktop tech I taught myself Java, after a year of that I moved on to Android development and now 9 months later I'm working at an awesome company with great people. Best decision I've ever made apart from quitting drinking.

Nice! Well done.

A friend of mine that I met in my engineering school was working on construction sites before studying back up. He didn't want to make a living like that. So before the engineering school he joined a bachelor. He had to work every night plus had 3 different jobs during holidays, sleeping only 4 hours,  so he could pay the University. He graduated from his Bachelor and then graduated from the engineering school. I admire these people that create opportunities for themselves no matter what.

Yeah I was working a 40 hour week while studying, it really wiped me out for the better part of a year. Worth it in the end though!

[user 18]

Primarily, I'm a university student.

I also have a position with the housing department at my school -- I live in residence with first year students, and act as an academic resource to help them make the transition to university, provide general academic advice, and facilitate study sessions.

Hey man, it sounds like we have the same job!  CA/RA life! Going to host an event now actually...

I'm similar to an RA, but not quite -- I work with the RA in my community. Main difference is I don't strictly speaking have to deal with any conduct issues.

Experimental Fermentation Biologist.  Hindsight being 20/20, I wish I had switched my major from 3 dimensional design to M.E. instead of Biology, it suits my personality a lot better.

Just finished my second week at my new job at a software company. I have engineer in my title but i am more involved in sales and support than what geekhack would consider engineering.

"System Engineer" is my official title, but I mostly develop web-based and standalone applications and internal company software tools.

Previously "Unemployed", "Senior Software Developer", "Senior Software Designer" and "Software Engineer". The field has been a bit rough recently with Microsoft screwing over Nokia and laying off literally thousands of competent developers and engineers in my immediate area. Just happy I'm employed right now.

Aiming for "Inventor and CEO" title eventually, with the emphasis in that order.

I'm a system engineer too, but it has nothing to do with software or programming

[Lunatique]

I started out as a comic book artist/writer and illustrator.

I then was a songwriter for pop-stars for a bit.

I then worked in the video game industry as artist and art director.

I then worked in animation as a writer, director, and art director.

I then worked as a photographer for a bit.

I then worked as a composer for video games and film.

I then worked as an instructor for art/CG.

I'm now focused on writing novels in my free-time (while teaching art/CG). After having done all those different creative jobs, I find being a novelist the most agreeable with my lone-wolf personality. I can play well with others in a team and I'm a good leader and teacher, but my preference is to work alone and do my own thing.

I'm an old furniture in an old tech company trying to be cool and relevant.
