I'm studying car design. Right now I'm taking an intensive course with some very talented designers. I probably will move to another city (hopefully Tokyo) soon to continue my studies.

Juan - That school sounds pretty hardcore! Props for making it through

My company is into electrical engineering, but I'm the wicked merchant. 🙂

I run the pressroom and bindery for a small printing company. And when I say "run", I do mean "run", I operate all of the equipment necessary to turn a blank sheet of paper into a finished piece, from plate to press to folding, stitching, collating, numbering, padding, packaging, and shipping. In better days, I had up to six employees working under me, but for the last several years, I have been a solo act as far as offset printing goes, as the small short-run commercial printing industry has shifted toward digital imaging. Hopefully, I will reach retirement age before I become completely obsolete.

In my younger days, when I had younger knees, I was a pressman on large sheet-fed offset presses, up to six-color and 72" wide.

You'd probably never guess, but my on-line name might give you a hint. 😉

Yes. I'm the evil person your hippie friends warned you about. I'm a tree killer. Of course I'm also a tree grower.

[SimonSawSunlight]

...what career?

 

[raid]

Raid- you are a Scientist. No doubt about it.

Brian,

You take things apart and you can put them back together.
I study patterns and trends in data.

Both of us snoop around to find "things". 🙂

I spent 20 years on research in quality control.
I look for deviations from norms.
Now I check out how high cancer rates are, and I ask the question whether observed elevated cancer rates are random or not.

Photography is what keeps me sane.
