Seeing where some of you live in photo's, videos and the RC's that you have, things you build and whatnot had me a bit curious what you all do for a living.
I have a fairly boring job. Been working for the same company since college, 23 years, which is in the trade show registration/sales lead retrieval business. I have had 7 or 8 different positions since I started, each was growth in one way or another. My first was a traveling technician. I'd fly to trade shows, setup computer networks for people to register/pay for/attend the show, train typists to key the forms and then maintain/monitor the network for a week or so. The network would range from 3-4 terminals to over 100 and could be spread to 1-10 locations in any given city. I traveled all over the US the first 2-3 years and was on the road around 250 days a year. During the off time when I wasn't traveling, I'd repair printers, terminals credit card embossing machines and whatever else that was used at a show.
Then I went in house and was part of the database setup team. I'm now in software development QA. More or less the gate keeper for what gets released out for our clients.
I picked up RC 20 years or so ago, shortly after I stopped traveling as I stopped working on hardware at work. So I wanted something to do with my hands instead of just typing on a keyboard all day.
