Yes, I am an aero engineer

Out of high school, I did 5 years in the service (Navy Nuclear Power Program - Electrician)

My first 'real' job was electrician at a commercial nuke plant (see above story)

After that, I worked general maintenance at a cogeneration plant

Went back to school at age 28

Graduated and got a job as an enginerd

There were some interesting moments along the way.....like the fun with greenpeace idiots
