Well, how many of you are there lurking out here on the world?
If you are one, what field, what do you actually do, and how do you like what you do? This is prompted by a conversation that I had earlier today questioning the future of technical fields in this country. What do you people think about the fact that science (arguably one of the most important aspects of modern life) is being shunned and, in many ways, is beginning to fall apart? |

This thread brought me out of lurking. I am an aerospace engineer, working in the defense aerospace industry. I primarily am involved with testing of maintenance planning software for aircraft. I am so glad that I didn't go into software engineering (almost did).
I am between porsches right now. I had a 85.5 944 for a short while at the end of college. Then had kids. Traded the 944 for a minivan. I never forgot the experience of the 944, but in the ensuing years I discovered that the 914 is much more what I am looking for in a driving experience, so I can't wait to start that journey!
