I am an Industrial Mechanic and welder/fabricator in the beverage industry. I also am a volunteer firefighter.

Sad day today....I was called to a fully involved structure fire this morning at 5:48. It was reported that an elderly disabled man lived in the home. He lost his life in the fire.

Fascinating how diverse we are.

I'm a Chargeback and Risk Conversion Engagement Specialist for a large EFT Corporation
Don't worry my family doesn't still doesn't understand what I do and I've been with the company for 6 years.
EFT = Electronic Funds Transfer, EFT companies generally provide services to banks/credit unions and do all things people not in the industry would assume their bank/cu does internally. I work w/new clients and help them use our Risk/Chargeback products.

Student by night....should be doing that right now

Dispute Specialist.. chargebacks, BBB complaints, etc, etc.. I get to argue all day, kinda fun.

whoa...you might actually know what I do! BBB - are you on the merchant side then?

I spent many years in medical doing everything from in home aide to cna in nursing homes, ward clerk, MA and phlebotomist. Disabled now, but am looking into trying to go back to school for law. I hate not being able to work in my chosen field, but if I can help people in another field, it has to be better than just taking up space. :p:D
 
Out of work mechanical engineer. Managed to get into heavy machinery maintenance just as the steel industry died, jumped to the mining industry and that died. Moved to commercial printing and that died so moved to facilities management at the local community college. Guess what? Yup, enrollment down for 2 straight years so maintenance is the first to go! Too young to retire, too old for entry level. Guess it's Walmart or maybe truck driving if I could ever learn to back the darn things up.

Wish you were in MI, mechanical engineers are in high demand up here, especially if you have experience.
