I'm a systems engineer/configuration manager / dogs body.

My current job pays very well, and generally consists of reading books all day and browsing forums, whilst my boss praises me for the work Im doing.

I'm not sure how I've got into this role. but I'm looking for another job that is a bit more demanding and hence more mentally rewarding.

My g/f puts me heavily into the techie geek category.

If you move to a new JOB, please PM me, so that I can stay on Rebreather World, getting paid good and this solves all problems with wife......can buy what ever I want and don't stay so much on forum after work

I'm not training on a 'breather for a while yet, but this code monkey here has dived one... once.

Engineer turned owner of Executive Recruiting (Headhunter) company after tiring of the corporate politics and not enough vacation time to dive.

This is a great thread....its kind of like the fish (future candidates for jobs) jumping right into the boat...no net needed.

I note not too many artists overall then (p*ss artists excluded of course)- and to be honest, suprised by the number of female replies ! I have usually seen rebreathers attached to the male side of the poulation!!!
this is one healthy and intresting link!
