Spartan 4,400 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I graduated this May majoring in Finance, Accounting and Business Analytics, and I use a bit of all of it now as an auditor for a bank. It's more interesting than it's made out to be since you get a peek behind the curtains of whatever company/department/business line you're auditing at the time. It's honestly risk assessment and mitigation evaluation since we have to be aware of all potential threats to the company and make sure we're not leaving ourselves exposed for penalties/fines/lawsuits. Pretty cool stuff.

Definitely - just figured I would give it some depth My favorite is when customers doesn't specify IP or MSTP and I have to provide a new control board or module lmao Everything wants to be viewable via BMS so it's definitely something I interface with more often.

Head Moderator frescoelmo 1,276 Posted September 7, 2021 Head Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2021 I suppose I didn't formally explain 'what I do for a living' so here goes. My background is in construction management, did a few years as a project manager for a MEPFP contractor (design-build, so we did most of the engineering and construction in house) and had some cool projects/clients like federal projects, Intel and Daimler. Moved into a more refined position in sales and engineering about 5 years ago. Work with engineering firms to design heating/cooling systems (HVACR) for various new/renovation projects across the city and manage procurement, logistics and warranty/service with construction companies.

thadthrasher 1,692 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I have a B.S in Mass Communication: Electronic Media. So, somewhat like @Beketov, I've worked a little in post production, producing, writing, and filming. I've also managed a radio station for a bit, and was the program manager there as well. During my senior year though I became a pastor in the United Methodist Church. After graduation I began my Graduate work and am currently 15 credits away from my Master's Degree (I'm at 81/96 credits). I am a full-time Christian pastor and a full-time student (at least until May 2022).

Just so there are quite a few people in the league that know nothing about me, here we go! I am a beekeeper, I have been doing this for all my life as my family has been keeping bees and making a lot of interesting items out of their products (For example, bee wax candles). I do this in my free time combined with video games, VHL and music (I do play guitar, bass and a bit of piano). In my professional life I have been a political advisor, project manager, risk manager but right now, I have devoted myself to political career (for next few months fully) as I have been elected in my local municipality as a council member. In the next few months I am planning to take a job at our local Culture center where I will be working as the director.
