...Siemens..

This brings back a lot of memories. My father was the vice president of Siemens many, many years ago.

I'm (nowadays) a self-employed IT-Tech.
I'm doing everything from Hardware configuration and sale to support and repair.

That me to a T. The upside (for me) is working from home. The downside is having not much of a life outside of work.

I remember when I first learned about people on the Invelos forum, I was surprised by the number of people with similar jobs. This topic reinforces that.

I'm a high priced hooker.

There is a life outside of work?

The "working from home"-part is what made it possible for me to take care of my three dogs. So (for me) the advantages by far outweigh the downsides.
This is even more correct since The Best Of All Possible Wives is having a real job so that I always know how to fill the fridge next week.

I am an engineer for what we called "supply and installation engineering", a branch of mechanical engineering. Most of you know that I am working in Taiwan; since 1997. We build  cleanrooms, those production environments they manufacture computer chips or screens in.

I don't do a lot of engineering myself anymore though, my job has evolved into being some kind of project manager and even deputy branch manager here in Taiwan (we are a small team, so it may sound more impressive than it is). Like other mentioned above, I too do the IT Management here in Taiwan; since I am no expert we tend to keep things rather simple
