What do you do for a living?

[MattFX4]

Two weeks to a career shift. Will be a Senior IT Auditor come 6/19. Proof that you should never stop chasing that dream job. Took me 11 years of trying to break into a Forensic/Audit accounting job. This role marries my systems experience and accounting background.

Awesome Congrats! I am a CPA working in corporate accounting. I have been exploring other options and forensic accounting sounds very interesting.

@MattFX4 A professor in college turned a few of us in the class on to it. One went on to be an IRS agent, another a lawyer, and me I ended up working with financial systems. I have a law enforcement background (Immigration Enforcement Officer in the Cayman Islands) and it was my favourite job ever. This way I can use all those investigative skills I learned and put my accounting degree and systems experience to work. I'm super excited about the opportunity.

I am coming up on 19 years building WMD's (AH-64 Apache Helicopters) for the US Army and several other international customers. My current role is Analyst/Engineer.
Before that I served in the Marine Corps working on F-18's (VMFA-AW 242 Airframes).

I flew the AH64 for 21 years.....an awesome aircraft.....I was never shot down, and never took serious fire in Iraq, but guys in my unit did, and are alive today because of the toughness, quality, and survivability of AH 64!!

@radge2001 A buddy of mine is still flying them and commands a battalion of Apache pilots, crew, maintenance etc. here in NC. We was in Iraq and Afghanistan and loves the improvements in FLIR over the years. Says it was interesting to see how those on the receiving end of night time fire quickly learned that we'd made major FLIR improvements and that hiding behind smaller trees no longer worked!

I flew the "old" legacy 64s. Retired just as my unit was getting Longbows. Talking to the guys there, the improvements are incredible. Makes me wish I coulda stayed a few more years, but at 62, the Army told me I had no choice...."Get out OLD MAN"

Haha...If you still talk with any of them, ask how they like the new "E" Model. They are in the 6th year of production and we have delivered about 120 of them to the field so far.

I didn't read through 23 pages to see if I responded years ago, but I don't think I did...

So I've been a business consultant for the past 20 years. I'm really a problem solver. My focus has been on helping companies improve their products and service interactions with customers. My projects have ranged from consumer call center interactions to NASA space launch customers including satellites, space probes, and manned spaceflight. My skills are designing analytical models and approaches for structured and unstructured data.
