I'm an electronics tech and I point out engineers design flaws too like handles that break resulting in a dropped and thus broken instrument of which I now have to repair. :wink:

I work with several fellas who play including two who work right next to me.

4 Years of school left for me. Two years towards finishing my second science degree, this one in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology; followed by two years to earn a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Science.

For now I am but a lowly school janitor. :lol:

One of my last welding jobs I spent most of my day TRYING to explain to engineers what they were doing wrong. ha... It was a cool gig because I was the only welder in the entire place (out of like 200 employees), so I was kind of treated like royalty. everyone wanted me working on their projects, everyone wanted my thoughts on how to build stuff... but the money was terrible so i had to move on.
very cool getting to hear what everyone does, thanks for the replies!

I was an electrical engineer until the economy tanked, now I have two part-time jobs teaching college. But I really need a full-time gig again.

Don't look at that as always a bad thing. For instance the company I work for the machines were designed for loading blister cards of pills into plastic "shells" (if you've ever gotten prescriptions from a Walmart in the blue plastic shels, thats what we do) The machines we have do not exist anywhere else, and we are about to expand into a new design with new equipment for the next generation "shell packs" The feedback we give to the engineers is what hopefully will make this new equipment more efficient, and easier to work on. Nothing worse than spending a whole shift tearing apart a piece of equipment to get to a "wear part" thats seems to have a machine built around it. It's all trial and error, and we couldn't do it without each other.
