I worked in television for like a decade. I mostly did video-editing, some animations, broadcasting and other technical stuff. I ended as news editor, but politics and such made me hate the position, so I left after a year. I decided to become a graphics-designer. These days I'm doing a quick course for that, so I'll have some paper to show, while widening my portfolio. Though I'm still doing post-production and smaller animations for projects on the side.

Before KSP, I didn't know why rockets have to go sideways and such things.

I'm a tire retread technician, laying new tread on worn tires (not to be confused with simply regrooving tires). Not my original career choice, for sure, but I don't mind it. Certainly better than being an order picker, but it's a far cry from my original ambition of being a mechanical engineer. I work at a Michelin Retread Technologies franchise, and I got a bit of a kick when I found out that the Space Shuttle lands on Michelin tires. Fun Fact: What Goodyear spends on advertising, Michelin spends more on R&D, and they're the ones that figured out how to bond rubber to steel, making steel-belted radial tires possible.

My wife was once asked what I did, and she said I was a retread technician. The reply was "Oh, he's a retard? Sorry to hear that..." Which harkens back to Forrest Gump, with his mother not wanting him to have a career regrooving tires, which is what the mentally handicapped did back in those days.
