Question I'm asking those who have jobs

[Pipcard]

What is your job?

 

[PeterRoss]

Security systems maintenance engineer.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Lot Associate at The Home Depot.

 

[Einion Yrth]

Embedded Software Engineer

 

[Face]

What is your job?

Why do you want to know that? Now it is no big secret to reveal, but I'm curious what thoughts made you ask O-F members this question.

 

[Enjo]

Programming many things - GUIs, headless algorithms, HMI/SCADA, currently doing web development.

 

[Urwumpe]

CFD Software Developer

(In Java, C++, Python, VBA :blush

 

[Ghostrider]

P.I. (Private Investigator).

 

[llarian]

Face has a point. There is the question of privacy involved. More data for the NSA to correlate?

However .... whoremonger and general layabout.

 

[Ghostrider]

Well... It's not like the NSA doesn't know what I do for a living.
However, we've already been asked our ages a while ago by other members, for instance.

Indeed. I did not want to pick on privacy here, I'm just curious why pipcard suddenly comes up with this question. Normally those "tell us about yourself" threads start with something like: "now I thought the other day that it would be interesting to know what all those clever guys here look like." Or something like that. But this here straight out asks for current jobs.

In this case it is not unusual to ask back: "Why do you want to know?"

 

[goaowonk]

And age is not as specific as job, IMHO.

Anyway, unemployed here.

Well, maybe he's hiring! I'm not interested currently

Oh, neat !!

Alpha waves or Delta?

That's not my end. :lol:
I just make the game. So for me, the controls will appear the same as a joystick or keys in Unity.
But I'll consider asking them that question. I am interested in that side of it, even if I'm not really involved. I did get to see the shielded EEG rooms and equipment though.

Don't NSA have better things to do than read random forums their computers flagged for human review based on keywords?

[RacerX]

well I could tell you...but by law I can not. To tell you my job publicly I could actually get fired over. Seriously not joking. If a picture of me at work showed up on,lets say, facebook, its automatic termination along with being blacklisted from ever working in that field again.

So, you are not working for an intelligence agency, because you would then have an alternative official job as engineer, developer or diplomatic assistant, that you can state instead of saying, that your job is secret.
