Me too! Or at least I’m in the industry. Software side though.

Similar here. I do computer and industrial engineering for system integrations and process improvement, and I’m currently sending this from a wave picker 30 ft in the air trying to understand what keeps causing this damn jam in our new crossdock conveyor.

That sounds like way more fun than what I do. I just work on our one-stop-shop solutions development/planning/engineering/papers/order entry software. It’s like a glorified, complicated version of The Sims home construction but with conveyors and racking and structural steel and whatnot instead of couches and pianos and windows.

Oh gotcha. I work with a lot of people at various companies that have a similar role as you. I work for a consultancy that gives me the opportunity to where a lot of hats. The job is always really challenging, but every project is a new adventure.
