Water Reclamation Electronics Technician. I work on the SCADA, including RTUs, PLCs and all command/control networking...

Water Reclamation (waste water treatment/reuse water distribution) - It may smell like poo to you, but it smells like money to us. Water in, water out. You pay because it flows both ways. Besides, depending where you live, you may be drinking what we process. Or, at the very least, you may water your lawn with it.

[MrMojoJojo]

I'm kind of a jack of all trades... I've worked retail, both sides of the restaurant industry (back and front of house), a little bit of managerial stuff here and there, used to do some handyman-type work at some apartments owned by a guy my mom used to date, lots of different stuff.

But as for currently? Well, I can't really say exactly what I do, but lets just say I'm a little higher on the food chain than the regular D* technical CSRs (by the way, I love the information that I find on this site). But with as much as I love this job I may be looking to head out because I got a little girl that I want to be able to take care of more than I do (without trying to get too much of a sob story on y'all, it sucks to not be able to get your kids a xmas or birthday present). So I may end up heading out to North Dakota to work for the oil rigs.

Its going to be a PITA to have to leave my daughter and live-in girlfriend for a week at a time, but making $2000 for a week's worth of work (and that's after taxes/deductions folks!) will be well worth it for doing what I feel I need to do as a father and provider.
