Cool What do all you guys do........?

I've been using this board for about 6 months now and like lots of others have obtained some valuable info about my 944. Reading the posts and replies has been informative, amusing, frustrating but never boring. I get the impression that 944 owners come from a wide variety of employment and I'd be really interested to know what everyone does for a living.........I'm an analytical chemist in the water industry (in Australia)......

Cheers
Rob

I babysit computer servers... (no really, I sit on my butt, watch movies, play pool, eat out of the company fridge, etc - and just call someone if there's a problem). *snickers*

I'm also a perofessionally trained/certified motorcycle mechanic - but that's more of a hobby gone out of control than anything else.

I work for a titanium bicycle company, and recently promoted to VP of Sales a month or so ago.

I'm on my second year at the University of Helsinki, studying computer science. I'll probably specialize in parallel/distributed systems or software engineering/architecture...

I'm a mechanical engineer for DEKA R&D (the company that brought you the Segway). I work on the Stirling engine project (if you think Porsche engines are finicky...).

I facilitate profitability in manufacturing operations through process improvement and culture change, or I am the hatchet man.
