Left UT after 2 years toward and aero eng degree and started my work life in the Air Force. Worked on F-4D WCS, F-16 Comm/Nav/ECM, and then F-117A everything electronic.
Got my FCC with RADAR endorsement and went to Delta Air Lines at DFW as a line mechanic, getting my A&P as well. Did everything there from autopilot to toilets to engines.
Then the big downsize lay-offs in 1993 put me in the semiconductor industry. I have been a Final Test Engineer and Field Service Engineer for various equipment manufacturers before I got tired of traveling and settled on Motorola Semiconductor which is now Freescale Semiconductor. Can't complain about working seven 12 hour days every two weeks.
What I did today.
