I teach at a small rural K-8 school. I currently teach 4th grade, but in the past I've taught 2nd/3rd, 3rd/4th, 4th/5th, 1st/2nd/3rd, 2nd/3rd/4th, ESL, and Spanish. I keep a Common Snapping Turtle in a 300G in the lobby of our school and I have a 125 in my classroom. :headbang2

Naos, where are you from and where do you live now, if you don't mind saying? :popcorn:

Reliability is important...I remember a "brilliant" engineer designed a power supply that put 80a on a single phase...result? A few month into product shipment, our boards in the field started to have mysterious reboots. Remotely we couldn't see anything, upon recall of several boards, we discover that due to large transient currents, some of the ceramic caps were exploding.

The resulting fire drill of redesign and replacing the units in field was not so fun.

That is why redundant phases with a lot of design margin per phase are a must (/trend) now. BRMA's are a PITA especially if they are in the millions. I am currently working on a reliability/qualification/manufacturing process for SMT devices affected by reflow and humidity exposure and finding all the subsequent solderability issues that can appear thereafter.
 
I work in a hospital, for the linen service. I'm blessed to have a job where I mostly work by myself, the supervisor spends most of her time at other accounts. I'm happy to be able to run it the way I want, and have a steady 40 hours a week with benefits. My only coworker is my husband, and I'm fortunate that he is able to work my days off for me. I have a great boss, best I have ever worked for. Last boss wasn't quite as easy to get along with...

Every time he goes to an Aviation Museum he goes nuts over the A10 :)

I used to like those things a lot too, and when out of college, received a few job offers in the defense sector(I was studying DSP and RF) but reality is that being foreign born, and a Chinese at that, I don't need people constantly questioning my loyalties in my career...So I ended up working in the telecom field instead.

Also the sad thing is the jobs in defense do not last.. once the contract runs out then lay offs begin..so in that one aspect your far better off. in your chosen career. ..... the A10 is an awesome plane..to think they still use it today........low flying big and heavy.... but gets the job done...i should visit the aviation museum myself.. i would love to go back to a time i could fit in all those tight little places.. and when i was wiring the strut if i could not get the clamp on.. i would get lots of help from all the guys.. great job at the time and great feeling of satisfaction when you saw the plane in use and that it is still in service today....thanks !!https://www.google.com/search?q=a-1...GlhYGoAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CKcBEIke&biw=1549&bih=712
