Re: What's your day job?
I'm a metallurgical engineer in a steel plant that produces hot-rolled plate material. Our plate goes into an incredible variety of cool things, including bridges, buildings, machinery, ships, and military applications. I work in quality at the rolling mill, and a lot of my job involves looking at plates that don't get produced correctly (not to customer specs, defects in/on the plate, etc), figuring out what happened to make it come out wrong, and coming up with a fix to prevent it from happening again. When I'm not doing that, I work to implement changes throughout the process to improve efficiency. I get to work around cool old machinery, get dirty, and do a lot of problem solving, and every day is something different.
