What's your occupation?

Little Steven · April 2012

I am Industrial Electrician and a boss!

What industries do you work in?

@pab elementary teacher here. I'll take part of the blame too. I thought. I was the only teacher here.

Not one pro chef among us eh? Or maybe I missed it.
IMO

everyone here with an Egg is one in his or her own right.

I'm a machinist by trade but have been working as a bio pharmaceutical maintenance tech.

Not really. Some really good cooks, but not chefs.

To really be a chef, you need to have graduated from a recognized culinary academy. There are far more considerations in being a chef than just making a good, tasty meal.

It's much like being called an "engineer". They call garbage collectors "Refuse Engineers" and parking lot attendees "Transportation Placement Engineers", but they are not the real thing like Mechanical Engineers or Electrical Engineers.

True dat Gary. It's a college level diploma, not a university level thing. Good to have go to on the forum though

@ Village Idiot. I was emphasizing on the phrase because of all the creativity I see on some of the awesome food posts I see here. It was an attempt to compliment them. Should I change my my user id to Forum Idiot? lol

Well....as a guy who has hired and fired many pirates.....er I mean chefs, I disagree a little. An executive chef is a degreed/professional position but the best chef I've ever known was a self taught artisan that couldn't show up for work. He built all our menus and cooked circles around the execs but was (is) a mess. The execs keep costs in line, crack skulls on the underlings but I've found the artisans to be the best chefs.

It's more an art than a trade. If I can ever get to retire I'm going to culinary school

Chemist. I test water for the City to make sure that we get all the urine and other stuff out before it floats down the Trinity River to Houston. Yeah, that's right Houston....don't make me mad or I'll leave the pee in water. :D

I have an Uncle who hasn't missed a semester of College since returning from the Vietnam war. I wonder if there is a Guinness Record in there somewhere. He'd never apply for it though.

Only 16 more years and I can retire. I'm finishing up training for my retirement gig, SCUBA instructor. Next stop will be culinary school. Retirement plan - Move to Cozumel, run a dive operation and bbq joint. I think the cruise ship folks will be ready for some pulled pork off of the egg.

boatbum · April 2012

Software business.

Gave up ( or outgrew ) my life long dream of being the guy with the "spritzer" bottles that walked around the resort pool in southern california asking women who were laying out by the pool if they wanted a "spray" to cool off.

On its way now.

I used to be a teacher. 5 years - 3 in high school and 2 in middle school. Just couldn't take the politics or the "It couldn't be my kid, must be your fault" mentality. That and too much special ed paper work. More respect to those who can put up with it and do it day to day. We need more good teachers.
