And that's exactly why I'm here. 🙄

But seriously, there were hard times after my studies.

Today, 20 years later, i share my knowledge and am active in project management.

And I now have pocket money to afford one or two exhausted watches. 👍

Academic oncologist / medical ethicist. Hence my predilection for pulsations scaled watches. Also, this thread is missing pictures 😉.
I'm currently a medical student. Would love end up in uro oncology with a watch collection as nice as yours @t_swiss_t

Here is my only pulsations so far

7 years in the Navy. Did some consulting out of college in transportation systems (regional government clients), worked 5 years at a non profit, worked 7 years at a technology start up (program manager) and now work with wife selling holloween costumes and Christmas decorations.

My favorite watch.

Looking good! I plan on a pulsations speedy as a grad present for myself when I finish the DNP program.

Or surpass it, by going into cosmetic dermatology...

@Togri v. 2.0 but aren’t you the guy that finds the three dotted frog and the almost extinct grass patch that shuts the job down for 2 years before @joeshoup shuts it down for 1 year.

Or Togri is the guy who tells the developer they need to build some new habitat for endangered critters, but they decide to do it on an archaeological site, so the place gets dug up twice ::facepalm1::

Hahaha definitely not my style. I'm sure the hours are fantastic though!

That’s a good one indeed 😁. We had a good time in my psychotherapy class the first time I saw it.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer by trade and now a Sales Manager and Key Account manager for a UK Engineering Services Company called Ricardo.

Historically we've designed and manufactured engines and gearboxes for Automotive and industrial applications such as the McLaren road car engine and Bugatti dual clutch transmission but are moving into electrified systems such as batteries and hybrid systems.

Hoping that the internal combustion engine lasts long enough to see me to retirement in 15 odd years...

Somewhere (TM) I have a 1st Edition of Sir Harry Ricardo's "The High-speed Internal Combustion Engine", pub 1931. Cost me a pretty penny.

I have a business for CNC machines sales and service. Getting on a bit now, so looking forward to retiring soon!

Respect to @MRC - not many people outside of the industry have heard of us. But anyone who has considered whether to put super (95RON) or premium (98RON) gasoline in their car is basing their choice on the Research Octane Number that was developed by Sir Harry Ricardo in the 20's as a method for rating the quality of the fuel to pre-ignition (knocking). Before this fuel was rated by the specific gravity or just the colour!

And double respect since my choice of career was partly the result of my father taking that book out of the library when I was about 15 - I read the book from cover to cover and poured over the extended leaves of sections through engines of that era - I wish I had a copy...

So @MRC are you in the Auto trade?

Amateur racer. As a newly qualified mechanical engineer I wanted to get into racing car design back in the drawing board days, but while following some advice about how to go about it from Mo Nunn (local & very helpful!) got sucked into making computers do what was then done with pencil & slide-rule. I showed Mike Pilbeam what we could do but had not made public (too obscure for most customers, but my pet project), however the cost of computer workstations at that time killed his interest. The Fawlty Towers entity, with whom I later had connections, didn't think that "computer people" could possibly know anything about designing racing cars 🙁

Here's one of my amateur drives...
