Occupation Survey

[april1978]

I'm an Industrial mechanic for a lead acid battery manufacture.

[onowic]

Software Architect. Basically I was a Software Engineer then one day you walk into the room on a new project and you end up being the most senior/experienced person on the team so it's up to you to design the implementation.

I agree this survey is probably skewed toward the technical/engineering side because it is an internet forum, but I have read studies that transgender people tend to be better educated than the general population and tend to be in technical or high stress or "macho" professions.

ok, I admit, I read the first few pages and skipped a bunch of them. I'm sorry, 12 is alot! I will get back to them, though, I promise. I still bet I'm the only locomotive engineer here. Possibley the very worst place in the world to transition, but it's going to happen, whether they like it or not.

Hugs,

Melissa:)

[Tracii G]

I think there were a few loco engineers in the fray.
That sounds like a cool job.

Now, medical billing.

[Rogina B]

The discovery channel seems to be quite smitten with my world. However now, things have changed and i am trying to work ashore repairing medical equipment.Still do boats,but trying to transition. It is a lot easier to look good when your face doesn't have burns from overhead welding or cutting and a manicure goes quicker when the tech doesn't have to dig out from under your nails and tell you to really wash! Anyway,as a medical repair tech, i hope to stay clean,dress as feminine as i dare,be well rested, and find some more Rogina time.I just enjoy being out and about everywhere i want to go.

[PamelaTX]

I've had four careers in my life:

1. Soldier
2. Computer Programmer
3. Computer Engineer for a major telecommunications company, now defunct.
4. Educator/Research Scientist.

Number 4 is by far the best. Think I'll keep it.

[goofus]

This is so interesting - particularly striking is the number of us that are employed in traditionally 'male' occupations like building trades, law enforcement, transportation, etc.
As for myself, if anyone really wants to know what I do, PM me, I'm feeling a bit paranoid about leaving it here for all to see :eek:

[Corsetted Nikki]

Yes the pattern continues. I'm a Civil Engineer, but I'm also a business consultant and real estate investor.
