For those that might not know what that means; we install plumbing, hvac, and mechanical systems, chillers, boilers, etc. in buildings being constructed like schools, hospitals, prisons , state and fed gov't buildings, etc.

Master Commercial Plumber for many years early on.

Can't say I love it anymore really, but don't hate it.

I am a pipefitter working on a new construction Nuclear power plant in Georgia. I'm currently involved in building a cooling water recirculation piping system that uses 4 - 160,000 GPM hydraulic pumps flowing through 10 foot diameter pipe.

Jack of all trades, master of none. Mostly worked as a welder's helper, then welder on pipelines, and oil field maintenance. I worked for a time at a helicopter tour company at the Grand Canyon. Went to college for Network Management, but didn't finish. I currently build high end gaming P.C.s in my spare time, and run a local lawn service during the mowing seasons. I also take care of my disabled wife and disabled son full time.

LOL, yep that's pretty much the definition of residency! They have made it a little better though. It's like one of my clinical teachers said..."the only thing wrong with being on call every other night is you miss half of the pathology!"

As a guy that's done it all as far as automotive repair I have always had a fascination with jet engines. Would love to tear one down, figure out how they work, and put it back together. Much respect to your field where comebacks are not an option.

Well... After being in and supporting military conflicts for the last 20 years, I am now an Enterprise Architect for a fortune 500 hardware company designing high performance computing clusters for .Gov for stuff like AI/Machine Learning, Big Data crunching, and other things Governments do with lots of computer cycles.

Been an interesting ride going from ground pounder to operations techno wizard to building things that you hope will not become self aware and kill my Gold Flake Clownfish.

I think you'd be surprised (and possibly disappointed) with how simple they are. Some of the ancillaries can be more complex than the engines themselves. I consider piston engines more mechanically complex and they're certainly more maintenance intensive..........
Don't have to do cylinder changes on turbines lol
