Boring Certified Public Accountant:
7 1/2 years in public accounting (Arthur Andersen & PricewaterhouseCoopers)
2 years in private industry accounting at a large public company so far and will never go back to public accounting. I never had time to use the 5er, ride the dirt bikes and all the other outdoor activities I did prior to graduating college.

Mechanic for kinder morgan. I work on the stationary engines that compress the gas and send it down the pipeline. I get to work on everything from 400hp Coopers to 15,000hp Solar Turbines.
My friends like to make fun of me because I went to school to be a diesel mechanic and all my engines are natural gas(have spark plugs). Enjoy everything I've done so far Except for working around 17,000hp electric motors. Something about 7000 Volts scares me.
Also help my dad in our small Cow/calf operation and growing alfalfa in the summer.
