If you do it for a living, do you like it?

I do it for a living, but am looking to get into something else. I really don't enjoy it anymore. :(

I thought about enrolling in Embry Riddle when I was still flying in the Navy...

Ended up getting sucked back into the computer field tho :)

My two favorite fields, Computers & Aviation...

I've had to do clean up on an aircraft crash before...wasn't pretty...

I agree. Computers and Aviation are my two favorite fields also.

I spend my days building computers.

I've also had the "privilege" of assisting in an aircraft crash clean-up while I was in the Navy, no fun, but that's a topic for another thread.

AT2 1991-2001

HSL-43
Deployed on Destroyers, Cruisers, and Frigates

FMP MMF-C (parent command)
went TAD to Marine Avaition Logistics Support Element Kaneohe (this is where most of the knee problems were aggravated. My falling off an SH-60B probably started them)
