Administrators Chad Posted August 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2014 Seeing so many awesome pics of home theater setups and listening room/area setups here, has always made me curious - what do you do for a living? I just want to get to know y'all a little better. I'll start: I write teh web codez for Klipsch. (Web Developer, of course). I also maintain and administrate all of our web properties. Now with a certain FQE gone, I also help manage the content and product info on all our internal and external web properties. As busy as I am, it's the best job I've ever had. edit: I guess the other half of the story is what our significant others do as well. Ah yes! My wife is a special education teacher at a charter middle school here in Indy. She should get paid twice as much as I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I currently am working for a company called ATS. aviation technical services, out of of Washington state, just opened up a huge facility here in Kansas City. We just held the grand opening a couple weeks ago and had the state governor attend. it felt like a big deal that day. although i'm sure it wasn't. the state is just happy to have a new corporation in as big as them, and of course offering lots of new jobs for the state. i work as a avionics tech (go figure) its been fun so far but doesn't quite seem to be as fun as the military was for me working on fighter jets. commercial jets just arent as cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Having a job you like to do, and are good at, is a real pleasure to have. At the moment I am working P/T on weekends mostly driving and am looking to retire one day. Was involved in the satellite industry for 25 years prior to now, a job I really liked and had chosen.

Chris A Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Consultant in SE, SA, and decision analysis, as well as teaching and writing on these subjects. EDIT: Wife just retired as a reading specialist (a teaching position) and Irlen screener for an elementary school. I think that she'll start tutoring this fall...teaching kids instead of "administering" them. Edited August 9, 2014 by Chris A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Service manager at a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram store. I guess the other half of the story is what our significant others do as well. My wife is the manager of the medical records department at a local hospital. There would be no disposable income or elaborate (to me anyways) audio systems in our house on a single income. We've been truly blessed as I've never been to college and my wife went 2 years through a vocational nurses program yet we can pay the bills and have a little left over for hobbies and the occasional travel.

InVeNtOr Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 i'm an Avionics Tech. been doing it since 95. (military then private). same basic job as Scrappydue. i am currently working on the E6 which is the second most top secret aircraft the US has. the first....take a wild guess....lol! i have a Top Secret clearance just so i can be on the aircraft when we power it on. that clearance still does not cover what stuff does! i need to go a few levels higher to know that stuff, which honestly, i don't want to know. it's a fun job, i really enjoy it (it's also the reason i build all my power cables and am into Mods so much, i do it day in and day out). my favorite place to work was AAC in dallas. we built custom private Airbus A318/A319 for overseas royality. these jets were amazing! anything and everything went into them. it was neat to see that half the aircraft was just their bedroom! the wife is a bank teller, but she does so much more than that. it's a small community bank and she is one of their top 3 tellers (out of all the tellers in all 4 banks). she will be moving up in the company, they love her that much.
