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. I produce video and multi-media presentations for employee training and information Been doing this for 22 years. |

I am a plumbing contractor. I have been at this since I got out of the Army in 85. Hence I drive a Chevy instead of a Mosler.

AD Marine, deliver pizzas part time on weekends and such. Plus, since I go to school for free, the scholarships I get could count as 3rd income? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
