I do engineering/assembly validation for a major bike company...in wisconsin...pretty easy to figger out.
the plus side: work from 6a-2p every day. so i have all afternoon to ride/f-off. have the kettle moraine mtb trail right on my way home and sweet roads all around. get to try out new stuff. sweet, sweet job for a bike guy.
downside: i live 30 miles from work and commuting by bike at 4am is pretty unappealing.
But I love my job!

Civil engineering design technician...
I work in a mid-sized engineering consulting firm and have been there for 18 years or so....A major recession has a way of making you stick around longer then planned...
I'm basically a jack of all trades type guy at the office. If they need something designed and/or drawn up I'll do it...
Actually life is pretty cushy here with enough time to surf BF and lots of other bike porn...

You're all a bunch of Johnny Lunchpails.
If you were like me you'd own the company.
Now I've got to go and meet that Simpson fellow, I've been hearing good things about him.

I like this thread.
The equivalent over at our 50+ forum would be something like this:
-- retired.
--retired.
--retired.
--ROAD (retired on active duty, for you military types).
--consulting (between jobs).
As for me: gastroenterologist.
I've heard almost all of them: to go where no man has gone before, getting in 18 holes a day like Tiger Woods, one Ahole looking at another, etc. etc., I'm depressed and going out riding now.

Schooled in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
Now I'm a metrologist. That means I use big machines to measure things and get paid to do it. So if you pay me enough, I can tell you how small your johnson is, accurate to the 0.04 nanometer.

I'm a controller firmware engineer for data storage systems. Developing everything in C++ from SCSI-level to high level applications in an RTOS environment.
I tell my dad I'm a software engineer. I tell my mom I work with computers. It's easier that way.

Neuroscientist, although according to the BF spell check my chosen career doesn't exist.
