Mixed. I actually run the supply chain practice at a big research house, so I still get my 'fix' by going to lots of different client factories, warehouses, etc. Lots of really cool tech these days (probably why I'm such a gear-head with my reef tank). Plus I really enjoy writing, and get to do more of that now.

Good thread!!!

Thanks! Glad to see everyone enjoying it... Only thing I wish would be pictures of people on their job sites... Unfortunately I cant share mine. no photos allowed on the entire site here for obvious ITC and EAR issues.

I supported my hobby by building and selling items for other people through eBay and Offerup. Sounds silly, but i've made quite a bit doing this. Other than that, my 50/hr week job helps too!

NASA Engineer for 20 years....it sounds better than it actually pays compared to other engineers.

I spend more on reefing than I should right now, but step 1 was getting the wife into it as much as me.
