I’m a High School Principal. Starting year 26 in education. My wife is a Library Media Specialest. Starting year 20 in education.
Yes! Education can be a shitshow... especially now. No! We are not all brainwashing Liberals. But there are a lot of them in this business.

I'll be starting as a trader at a professional trading firm in Chicago very soon. The options and futures markets that started in Chicago are very interesting and the amount of math / tech that goes into trading derivatives effectively is second to very few other industries. I don't like project work very much so being a trader where you are constantly reacting to whats going on in the market suits me well.
I work at a slaughter house for swine. Deliver to the Bay Area. Started as a driver and work in the office now but I’m always the back up driver.

My company messes with all sorts of different axis robots from the comapany Fanuc. The way our robot engineers can make those things move can be amazing sometimes. We recently had a larger system with the Fanuc "spider" robots. What a absolute pain in the a$$ those are lol
I always tell people I’m retired because I love my job so much. They usually look at me funny because I’m 26. I co-own a pole vaulting club and just opened a sports performance training facility with my dad. We train little kids all the way up to Olympic athletes.

I don't know what part, he is in FtW. My sister works for a company that handles supplies at Raytheon, but has also supplied the cribs at LM.
It was cool in the 70s to go by and see the Peacemaker that was on display when it was Carswell AFB. I also liked watching the F16s which seemed to always be in the air.

You miss loading? I had a blast doing it. I was only active 4 years a Eglin, got to load a lot of interesting crap though for the 46th test wing. 16's, 15's, & A-10s. Now that the 35 came around I'm not on the flightline anymore, but from what I can see there's a LOT of learning to be had on these new systems. The gun in particular.

I’m a software engineer by day and small business owner all the time. My background and day to day is all finance (I used to be a trader and financial advisor).
At my 9-5 my team and I build a trading platform for cryptocurrencies and a lot of algorithmic trading systems that operate 24/7/365 since the crypto markets don’t sleep.
My side business is a whitelabeled platform for companies to raise capital from our growing crowd of investors.

Which team? A friend of mine traveled with Jim Eppler around 1999. I spent a lot of time spectating at the Motorplex including the first day. Darrell Gwynn went a 5.28? off the trailer when the record was like a 5.43? I made a few passes there in my "street car", smooth as glass.
A lot of the prop trading firms in Chicago have started looking at / quoting crypto. I worked on a project this winter that had to do with trading crypto futures. Right now I’m at an algo trading firm that mostly looks at commodity and rate futures but might hop into crypto at some point. I’m always surprised how tight people are able to quote it considering how fast it can run you over.
I bought bitcoin for to buy a fake ID when I to college. That stupid thing is worth around $1500 at today’s value

A few of the prop firms in Chicago use the previous platform I built and sold last year. A coworker also came from a different futures desk in Chicago to the current company to break into crypto too.
Finance is a fun spot right now, even if crypto goes nowhere - it’s impacted a lot of tooling in the space.
Retired electronics/computer/IT tech/sometime-engineer/programmer. Belly Dancer by nite, although that has pretty much dried up in recent months thanx to the Covid hysteria.
Lots of hobbies though, some of them expensive!
