@Joshnieder216 Welcome to the club
 
I have been working as a cardiac sonographer for the last 15 years. I do diagnostic ultrasounds of the heart. The test I perform is an echocardiogram or an “echo” as most people call it. If you are going to look at moving pictures of an organ all day, I can’t think of a better one, lol! The heart is dynamic, with a ton of moving parts. Even a normal one is fascinating. Plus there is thousands of things that can go wrong with the heart, and I have to be able to recognize all of them and know how to evaluate the pathology in a meaningful way. It’s been an exciting career too. I spent most of my working life working at a large, crazy busy teaching hospital, in a not so nice part of Philadelphia. I often played a critical role in acute medical emergencies, and boy, have I seen some crazy things! I was quite eager to learn and see as much as possible when I started, so through the years I was able to do everything I had hoped to with my career. I spent time working in the cath lab, electrophysiology, cardiothoracic surgery, intensive care, ER and have even been involved in a number of groundbreaking device trials and research projects. I also spent a fair amount of time teaching in the field, training both sonography students as well as physicians who needed to learn the skill. All in all it’s been a pretty rewarding career and it’s paid for a bunch of fishtanks and a roof over my head, so I can’t complain!
 
@dduby and @90's reefer Welcome also! Hey guys post a greeting in the welcome threads and say hello to every one if you haven't already
 
I was working in a chemistry lab measuring dissolved methane concentrations in water column and sediment. NOW I’ve moved over to a biology lab where I’m learning to sort and identify Arctic benthic species. Most is done under microscope and I say is the ultimate game of “I spy”. Here’s my first couple days of picking!

I’m a shipping supervisor for the largest animal protein producer in the world. We kill and process over 5,000 head/day in the beef plant I work at. It’s a lot of beef getting shipped all over the world. Been there 15 years as of this month.
