Adiabatic posted:Get into DCS / SCADA poo poo. There's so much automation occurring in industry. Manufacturing is coming back to America, but the jobs are all logic programming and robit programming and automation. I will nth this but I will add that if you're not a tech guy and like working with your hands people good with fluid power, Hydraulic and pneumatics also have a lot of demand also due in large part to automation. If you can do the whole deal and also program/controls you have it made.

I'm paid to put poo poo on shelves, or grow organic garlic depending on the day. Oh and apparently deal with adult children who can't take their interpersonal bullshit out of the workplace. That really gets in the way of putting poo poo on shelves, and apparently means I don't get a smoke break anymore. Oh well at least the garlic doesn't pull this high school bullshit.

I fix commercial and industrial laundry equipment. Washers, dryers, ironers, folders, anything that has to do with laundry, except dry cleaning because gently caress all that noise. I even have to go fix some hotel's laundry chute that has a broken fusible link. I don't know why a chute has a fusible link, but I'm gonna find out!

May need a cap kit for the power supply. I ended up with several that sometimes take a few minutes to power up. Their wider than 4:3, but not quite 16:9.

Currently, I'm not paid at all, and doing house and car projects, as long as they don't cost more than about $20. Job hunting is absolutely the worst thing in the world for your ego outside of dating. My wife tells me three interviews in two weeks is good, but it still feels like failure. At least I now know I will absolutely love retirement, provided the house is paid for and savings are sufficient for bills. I really thought I would do more movie/TV catchup watching, but I've been fixing stuff more than I've been doing that. slidebite posted:I will nth this but I will add that if you're not a tech guy and like working with your hands people good with fluid power, Hydraulic and pneumatics also have a lot of demand also due in large part to automation.

Starting over is tough when you're used to a half-way decent salary. I'm not in any way ambitious or interested in climbing the ladder/management. I just want a job with some variety that I won't hate going to every day, with the seemingly-impossible additional requirement of paying a decent wage that at least keeps up with inflation/cost of living. I'm a computer janitor with a (very) little experience in server and networks, I understand basic electronics and can actually solder (my MegaSquirt works!) and I work on cars a lot.

I just want a job with some variety that I won't hate going to every day, with the seemingly-impossible additional requirement of paying a decent wage that at least keeps up with inflation/cost of living. I'm pretty much there at 46. Been a security guard for 7 years now, and although it's tempting sometimes, I'm in no mood to start another career again from the bottom so it's looks like I'll be doing this the rest of my life. The good thing is I like my job, work on the beach, great atmosphere and cool people that's ten minutes from my house so the lovely pay doesn't bother me as much. Sure I'd like to make more money but I'd probably be miserable in the long run starting over. Plus my wife makes way more than me so it takes the pressure off. Overall I'm just happy I don't hate my job because I've been there and it sucks.

I solve problems. Usually technical problems at least somewhat infosec related but sometimes I just fix random poo poo around the office. I get paid pretty well (for the midwest) and usually have fun with my friends at work all day. Other than being in the midwest everything is great.BraveUlysses posted:how do i move into infosec? looks like an interesting and soon to be booming industry

I spent ten minutes yesterday on the phone to a guy who wanted me to write an excel report to collate a bunch of data from other excel sheets so he could achieve one of his annual objectives, due next week. He wouldn't outright ask or even tell me to do it, he was trying to get me to volunteer. I didn't make it easy for him and never actually said I would do it. My supervisor was listening in and wetting himself laughing. They won't let me play with SCADA, I've briefly had access to our plant network last year but they revoked it because they didn't have enough licences.I think it'd be a useful skill to have.

I already have a TV that needs the same, I can eventually knock them both out at the same time (emphasis on eventually).  Looks like the resolution is the same as the 20" Dell.e: hm... I just realized I'm running it over VGA. Might try it on DVI, if I can find one of my DVI cables. May or may not help. BigPaddy posted:Do you know how much a jizz mopper makes? As a matter of fact Randal, I do. $8.25/hr at a local chain of 24 hour places. I don't think they've raised it (... the pay, that is) since minimum wage last increased. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 08:13 on May 12, 2017 |

My manager has handed his notice in, and I think I'm going to apply for the position. It's a bit different to what I do normally, obviously, and would likely be a steep learning curve, but I feel like I shouldn't let the opportunity pass me by. The only other people in the engineering department who might be able to apply are significantly (25+ years) older than me and probably retiring in the near future, so internally I think I'd be the only one going for it, plus the instant the news came out I had two people (someone in engineering and someone in quality) say I should apply. I basically feel like I'd be a lot better positioned for it if it were a little more down the line and I could work with my manager to move toward that kind of role, with him being here for say another 5 years, but if he's going now, well, he's going now, and if I don't go for it and the role is taken by someone more my age, it kind of blocks that path for a longer time. If I didn't get it, I think I'd kind of get a second bite at progression by applying to be the senior engineer when he retires. Anyone else found themselves in this kind of scenario?

Take it. 5 years of pushing yourself is a hell of a lot better than 5 years of regretting not taking an opportunity.
