[MrForbes]

I only spent 6 years working as an engineer, I gave up in 1989 after being promoted to a low level management job (working as a civil servant for the Army Information Systems Command). But I did get to have some fun getting a few big (10 meter) satellite ground systems up and running, after being responsible for the installation engineering and initial power up and troubleshooting.

Since then I've had fun playing around....driving my 60 year old bulldozer is fun, and my avatar picture was also rewarding, that's me driving the car I built, somewhere in the midwest, on the Hot Rod Power Tour a couple years ago....the picture is a scan from Hot Rod magazine.

Also helping our three sons learn about how life and other things work is rewarding....my "main job" is house husband.

The unpleasant part of my engineering career was the red tape that one has to put up with when working for the government.
