    I do NDT in the aviation industry. I don't "wrench" on the planes. Only x-ray them and what not!
     
  3. And you also give this site a TON of cool pics to look at throughout the car show season.
    For that we are very thankful!!!
     
  4. I work on the space program, does that count?

    Even though you asked the 'guys' Im gonna respond... LOL

    I actually design and create automotive dealership newsletters for a 'real job'.

    The newsletter you get from your local whatever dealership, was probably done by me.

    Does that count? :cool:

    International freight forwarder, import/export air or ocean I guess I do it all, spend most of my time trying to convince people to box up the good bits of America and bring em here :) seriously I spend most of my time working with a couple of clients in the aviation business which can be challenging.

    Yep all three of my jobs have something to do with transportation. I work at a gas station, that's the place that sells that stinky flamable stuff that makes them cool old jalopys we drive go vroom. The second I weld on stock car frames, those transport people in circles. The third job is at my dad's shop were I get to wrench on new fangled automobiles, and occasionally sneak to the other side of the shop and turn wrenches on a 3 or 4 junk olds rockets I'm building.

    Just got me a job with Ford as a powertrain engineer. This probably doesn't count as an introduction.

    I was in the automotive industry. Now I'm in customer service for an industrial pipe and tube clamp company. It sucks big time but, it pays my bills.
