Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 128 Joined: 17-March 04 From: Cleveland Member No.: 275	I operate SMT placement machines for a large Industrial Automation supplier (aka a button pusher). Been there almost 7 years (since i was 18). I have an AAS in EET and very recently started on a BS in Mech E, but that may change to Industrial Manufacturing Engineering if Mech E starts to get too tough. I'm only 25, but i've been out of school long enough to lose the necessary academic skills to be able to get by while working full time. I wouldnt have any money for the car/driving if I still didnt live at home, need to milk that as much as I can. Miki

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have. I work at a Nuke Power Plant in a Overview organization. It's more than just your average QA/QC organization.
