Environmental Engineer - develop wastewater treatment systems for mining and petroleum operations. Work in water and sanitation in developing countries. Help develop solid waste management systems for countries that currently just dump their trash and garbage in the streets and floodplains. Developed water treatment for areas with high levels of arsenic in drinking water (in the USA and elsewhere). Most of my recent work has been with mining companies in Africa and solid wastes in Nepal.

You are the "diagnostics charge" man!?Prolly not your fault ... that system sucks, but it's the american way! Horray.

When people say "how come I got charged an hour, when it only took you a half hour?", I say "I'm fast at my job. If you had a slow guy and it took him two hours, would you want to pay that instead?" That's why the "flat-rate" system exists, and why a good mechanic can make alot of money, but a bad mechanic can't.

 
Motorcycle mechanic for years, right through college. Motorcycle racer for decades. Engineering education by schooling. Motorcycle dealer for a long time. Engineered and owned race cars, too, for a while. Now I'm a car dealer, and soon to be retired, hopefully...

More time to ride that way!
