Student, studying Financial Economics, with a view to becoming a stock-broker or investment banker.

Then I'll buy a solid gold PC case, and instead of LED's, have white light shone through various rubies, saphires and emeralds to indicate when my HDD's are being accessed.

81ing-81ing ;)

Sophomore EE at the University of Texas at Austin... Still awaiting the day when I can do something actually *interesting* or *useful* :)

Oh well, I'll be sure to post back if that ever happens...

Hmmm... To be honest I'm not exactly sure where my money comes from. though looking at my bank statements will shock the life out of my hardened accoutants :D.

Seriously though: University Student with the ability to blag a full loan from the correct authorities whilst holding down a part time job while living in a dump in the wrong side of Dundee... giving me the abilty to spend about £2000($5000 ish) a year on my computer whilst living on tea/pasta/bread/currysauce and a serious amount of beer :D.

That WAS serious.

Almost an Architect :p. Finished my studies about 3 years ago, and being all this time "finishing" :rolleyes: the final project to get the degree.

Don't have any real income, so when I'm starving I make some small job like an architectural model that keeps me alive for some months.

Brians256 08-19-2003 01:43 PM

I'm a software engineer, writing control and analysis programs for semiconductor test equipment.

So, I write stuff that controls the robots, the 0.1 um/0.2 millidegree accurate XYZT stages, vacuum and dry nitrogen lines, lasers, GPIB/Ethernet/RS232 control interfaces and such. It does DC and RF measurements. The DC measurements help customers get 10 attofarad resolution and down to 1 femtoamp noise levels. Basically, measuring small clumps of electrons.

The other product I tend to work on is a calibration and analysis tool for VNAs (vector network analyzers) for taking RF measurements from s-parameters from 0-110GHz taken from the DUTs and then calibrating out the cable and probes distortion and de-embedding the DUT from the wafer pads.

I work as a steel fabricator but i don't have the qualifications so i am not really a steel fabricator.

golovko 08-19-2003 05:05 PM

I'm starting my junior year working for my BS in Materials Engineering from Purdue University. I work two jobs part time: Windows support at the university's CS department and I'm also a salesman at the local Sears...I have no money, college life is too expensive.

I´m a "rustfast klejnsmed lærling(danish)" or in english someone who knows how to manufacture just about anything in stainless stell.

I do lots of welding, grinding, work on lathe,milling and drilling mostly in very thin materials like 1mm.

It takes four years of training(approx. 42K a year) and results in me being able to go on in to mechanical ingeneering (another 4 years of education and approx. 70-80k a year)

We pay 50-60% taxes!doh! fsck´d country!

Over and out Mads

Know the feeling. From the money my boss pays form having me hired only some 45-50% reaches my bank account, the rest is tax.
Then 25% of everything I buy is tax (VAT or whatever it´s called), not to mention the alcohol tax. :cry:

I do, at Swiftech (12/7), what many here would love to do - except for the hours probably
design and test new and improved cooling products

nice to be paid for what one desires to do
