Architectural door, frame and hardware sales rep and consultant. Just about as sexy as it sounds.

After reading your current and past titles, I can see why your family doesn't have a clue what you do! LOL

That's the second time you've told me, and I still don't get it, to be honest!

So Graham, you've made your big decision?

And I'm a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Analyst/Civil Servant. Hmmm.... deja vu.

Don't do it!!!

Forget about having:
-money
-kids
-a marriage
-a life
-or a job...until you have at least 1-2 post-docs under your belt. Factor that into the total time that you think your Ph.D. will take.

If you're o.k. with all of that, then give'r - you have my respect.

Hahaha. I just accepted the offer today. That may be the case, but they made a decent offer and I will likely be making good industry partners so I can pull the shoot on academics if they try that crazy wait until you have 6 years of post-post-post Dr work crap on me.

Kids and a marriage are hard to have when your girl lives in another province and you work in a town with only one employer. At least now I get to wake up next to her... semi-poor, but with her.

I will keep brewing, and I plan on continuing to be a brewnoser. I'll stay on the forum until you kick me off

. If we get a comp running, my partners brother lives in Halifax so I will happily come back and help out however I can (as long as I am not working on my qualifying exams). SAAZ will be one less, but hopefully some of the guys who haven't signed up here but make it to our meetings will fill my absence.

Another engineer here. Computer Engineer for most of my working career but currently settled into the software world.

But I have to say, my better half is one of you and the physicians I hang out with are pretty thirsty as well!

I normally use the all inclusive title of "IT Consultant" But officially Network and System Admin/engineer and security specialist. I still have to explain IT consultant to too many people, so I try to avoid telling them a more accurate title.

Small world. I did a stint as an employee at a mink ranch about 30 years ago... loved working with them, and there are still quite a few
of my friends that work the ranch in Cavendish trinity Bay. The owners of the Ranch lived next door to my father when they first moved
over here from Finland.

Now i'm an Oil BurnerTechnician working for a large service company.
