I've noticed a lot of people cite their professions in the arguments that spring up daily on this board. Inevitably, many of these professions cited are military/police, but others are mentioned frequently, cray74 and his job as a materials engineer being one of the more notable examples.

If none of the above fits with what you do, please respond.

Who's the engineer? He's the only guy who hasn't marked himself down as a student or a wageslave.

I null voted. I work in the Transportation industry as an International Freight Forwarder. Sort of a nebulous middleman job and I'm also a DoD Contractor for their Household Relocation Contracts. It's not really a service job, not really a Wage Slave position (I work for a mid size company but in a position where I have actual decision making ability), and not management.

One of the two engineers here. Software engineer to be exact. The majority of my experience so far has been in military avionics, but I will hopefully be in for a slight change soon.

Are we talking freelancer as in "writer," or as in "freelance security consultant" (aka Shadowrunner)? :P

Engineer is just another kind of wage slave.....
they just are better at slaving than the "standard wageslave". ( at least around here )

I'm one of them, Technical Support Engineer in one of the company that will become NeoNET.

No; Microsoft DOES exist in the SR world, but it's called MicroDeck (and the heir apparent is a 17-year-old sociopathic cyber-stalker; wonderful, ain't it?)

Being a wage slave is almost impossible here in Texas, which is composed of almost completely at will employers. No contracts means no being trapped in a job you hate. The job you hate may be the lesser of two evils because you prefer it to being broke, but that's a personal choice.

I don't think you understand what "wage slave" means.

I don't think we understand "wage slave" to mean the same thing. What's your definition?
