    His shop is called Viva Tattoo. Right on Broadway and 4th street. He's the one with dreadlocks if you go in and ask for a quote. He'd be the one you need to talk to since he has a couple of other guys that work there.

    I am R&D engineer at HTI. I design the little tiny suspenions that hold the read/write head in your hard drive from crashing into the disks.... so if your computer hard drive fails is usually the part i work on's fault...

    It was called the Design Engineering Systems group. Started out being a branch of the engineering organization but was moved under CBS (IT). The job really went downhill after that. I resigned in May '05 but I was involved in an 8 month consulting deal that ended last August at the Plymouth site.

    I just started at Underwater Adventures in the MOA. I'm a back of gate type person that leads tours and makes sure you don't harass the animals at the touch pool. I'm not sure, but I think I could get you guys discounts if you ever want to have a meet there or something.

    Superhero - I am a hard case specialist in Mental Illness/ Chemical Dependency. I do the impossible, perform minor miracles, and generally reduce the tax burden on all ya’ll by managing the most twisted, depraved, addicts and former convicts on this side of bars and padded walls. I love my job, in a relatively stiff and scientific field, I get to be the Cowboy rounding up people “the system” can’t handle. I also get to take my Great Dane to work, wear what I want, and pull off absolutely unconventional “in your face” to the text books maneuvers & get all kinds of accolades when it works. The kicker? When I fail, it is a failure everybody else has already called a “lost cause”. Because my task is doing the “impossible”, there is only praise for success and “oh, well” for failure. A very affirming job if we can keep our eye on the ball and find ways to make success where it can be had unconventionally, but there is always a temptation to feel godlike and think everybody can be a winner. If I win, I win big. If I lose, it wasn't anything the top people in the field hadn't already said was a lost cause. Great for the ego.

    Here's my take on this. If you like doing things with your hands, and doing hands on things, don't become an officer. Sometimes, a pay cut is better than getting into the real world and being stuck doing something you don't enjoy. You will get little to no hands on technical experience as an officer in any branch of service. Officer = management position. All the officers I've ever worked for had no prior technical knowledge of the equipment their people worked on, and none of them made any effort to learn the equipment because usually they were re-assigned to another completely different position 2 years later.
    If you really enjoy working with your hands, and would enjoy doing work with your hands for a career, I seriously would consider enlisted rather than officer. Your time in the military counts as work experience because it is. And they train you while they pay you. I have the equivalent of an associates degree in electronics related things. (not sure how it would transfer over) And when I left the Navy, I had 6 years of job experience working in the field...that's at 24 years old. When I applied for my job, I was up against 3 college kids and one more seasoned technician. We were all pretty much the same age. Myself and the guy with job experience were the ones that go hired. In the hands on, technical field, the ones with job experience are 9 times out of 10 the ones that get hired.

    I'm sure things have changed. We combined the whole mississippi river and northern minnesota exhibits so we can have an amazon area. There are also tons and tons of sharks and so far I really like it.

    It's a remote monitoring system for people with implanted devices. If I go by the company motto.. then my job is "I save lives" (partly true)
