Retired Navy Officer, You used to pay me to fly jets off Aircraft Carriers. Now I'm a Combat Systems Engineer, I teach guns, missiles, radars, etc to talk to each other.

But generally my Boss makes me supervise the PC network at a large home security company.

Retired US Air Force weather officer. I used to tell the fighter, bomber, and transport pilots where to go ;-).

Tried a few routes after retiring the first time, now working
as the Chief Technician* for a small school district's computer network whilst awaiting the chance to retire the second (and last!) time.

Two things I've heard about jet pilots (from a previous e-zone post) :

1. Will Rodgers never met one , and

2. The difference between jet pilots and jet engines is that the engines quit whining after they
stop working.

EE - I design chipsets for big expensive computers.

I used to design DC motor controllers so E-flight
seemed natural to me.

I am really interested in flying machines, and engineering. I was going to become an aerospace engineer, but I dont know now. Mechanical engineering looks really exciting too. Does anyone know anything about aerospace engineering? Thanx Patrick

PS- Also, what kinda job has to do with flying and like combat weapons. I was thinking some type of engineer in the army. Well there is just so much stuff to look at. Thanx for the help in advance.

PSS- Keep THe Occupations Comin In, its really interesting to see what everyone does for a job.

I was a heat exchanger/vessels engineer for 15 year after I graduated from college. Since 92 I have been a housewife, taking care of the house/kids/pets etc while the wife goes out and earns the daily bread. Nice work if you can get it, as it leaves plenty of time for building/flying etc.

Lately the kids have been refering to me as the food dispenser/laundromat/chauffer which is probably closer to reality :-)
