What do you do for a job?

I'm a contract Quality Engineer specialising in Aerospace commercial and military/defence applications currently working on missile defence systems and helmet mounted night vision mission systems. Although I have worked as an engineer for Toyota, JLR & Aston Martin in my earlier years.

Your probably right the Aero industry is so incestuous right now I'm constantly bumping into the same contractors at different companies.

I'm finding there is a shortage of QE's & SQE's in this field due to the amount of offers that are coming through with very attractive hourly rates!
 
When self employed a few years back (I'm now an OAP) I was creating technical manuals and animated service manuals for engines that propel (post rocket - the noisy internal combustion bit) into this beast:

No matter what job you do someone will dislike what you do for a living ..I know I've done enough - never been anywhere longer than a year and clocked up close to 100 jobs - lots of temp work too but there's always someone somewhere who will have a go - if you can go to work, do a good job, have a laugh along the way, earn your money and go home - that's all anyone can ask :relaxed:
