I work for a small machining/sheet metal shop. I manage the precision sheet metal dept. I do most of my work on the computer, fooling around with CAD drawings and stuff. Our end product is shiny metal boxes for the military and medical field. I have been in the same line of work for 20 years.

my work...

I'm an HVAC service technician. That means I spend a lot of time sitting in Atlanta traffic (and getting paid for it).

Oh, that's just what I'm doing this month. (It sounds cool, though doesn't it? ) It changes every month. If I remember right, I get to be a family doc next month, and then an obstetrician. I'm actually leaning towards surgery in some form - either that or cardiology, but I have another 8 months to decide...

...and the rest of my life to pay off the loans!

Ah, the crazy life of a medical student.
