45 year old software engineer. I only work because I am forced to. Every once in a while I get to go climb outside and recharge enough to survive in Yuppieville (Bay Area). Don't do drugs, don't drink alot, pretty boring...

Employment History:
1977/High School Drop Out: To busy smoking weed, forgot to go to school. Forgot were school was located. Did find test location for GED.
1978 to 1996/Construction Worker/ Construction Supervisor: I feel sorry for anyone who lives or works in any building I constructed. I started back to school in 1992.
1996 to Present/Structural Engineer: Finally got rid of the pot habit and finished a BS in Engineering. I passed both California license exams for Civil and Structural Engineering. Halfway through Masters degree in Structural Engineering.
My work history illustrates that even a pot head low-life can get his act together eventually.

Professor ... a very flexible job which allows you to arrange pretty good trips for climbing and the mountains.
If you really are close to being a rocket scientist at UC Irvine, say hi to my mate Ken.

Pati is a cartographer/land surveyor who specializes in land use planning in rural areas. Her education is in Geology.
Bob is a land surveyor with a degree in early childhood education (K thru 8th grade). Being a teacher sucked.
We actually enjoy our jobs and who we work for. The living conditions are the best! However, dealing with whining, unrealistic people with no clue but lots of money can lead one into a rut. Therefore alcohol & other remedies are recommended. But then we are Irish. And, we aren't called the 'smokin' Nolens' for nothing!
