I am an electrical engineer at Xcel Energy in the Substation Design department. For those of you that dont know what a substation is, they are the big fenced off areas that we install large transformers, control which lines are on, protect the power system components, and automate the power system. My main focus is in metalclad switchgear and RTUs. Metalclad switchgear are used to cobtrol and protect the distribution system that the substation serves. RTUs are basically an Apex on steroids.

I am an accounting manager for a company here in Denver working with mergers and acquisitions in a private sector. Best job I've had by far. Pretty amazing to see how small privately owned start ups with good business ideas get gobbled up by big corporations for ridiculous amounts of money a few years later. I know a lot of people think accounting is pretty boring but I love what I do.

I run the Clinical Research Dept for a physician here in Denver; which means I do everything...getting new projects organized at our site, training staff, FDA compliance and QA, and seeing patients and doing basic exams and procedures. On any given day I'm usually either stuck behind a desk doing paperwork, or sticking patients with needles. 
I now work for a contract research organization in Denver as a Project Management Associate, and manage a handful of clinical trials in oncology.

I make airplane brakes. I run a carbon fiber needle loom where we basically build carbon fiber boards and cut out preform parts that are sent into giant furnaces where a chemical reaction changes them to a carbon brake. Then they go through machining and finishing where they are prepared to be installed on aircraft. We make brakes for Boeing and Airbus. There's a pretty good chance that of you've flown on a commercial airline, we've had a hand in making the brakes.
UTC Aerospace Systems is the company I work for.

Wow all of y'all are so smart.
My husband works hard as a sales manager for NAPA, so I can be a Stay_at_Home Mom.
While we lived in Minnesota I worked as a Spanish interpreter for Family Services, Medical, Mental Health, Probation, and a Little bit for the Court System.
Since we came to Colorado I've stayed home with the kiddos. Once our youngest starts school, I will probably start working again. In the meantime, the job of a mother runs 24 hrs a day. Never a dull moment... and its always something different. Reefkeeping and Bee Keeping are my two newest hobbies.
They're both great for the kids.
