Career Switch
I switched early, after working only one year as an engineer. I kept my options open in college. Worked a year as a failure analysis engineer, then decided that it may be more fun to work with failure analysis in humans.:wink: Most physician careers require a very long time commitment in training (11 years after college for me
), so you have to be sure. There are days that seem to be a grind, even though I know I'm helping patients. But overall, it's been a rewarding career.:smile:
Wow, interested in learning more about how you made that career switch. From time to time, I arrive at this existential crisis wherein I question what I'm doing for humanity (as an enterprise software engineer) and wonder if it'd have been more meaningful if I had taken up medicine instead

Principal Reliability Engineer focusing on measurement and mitigation techniques of soft error (radiation induced glitches and memory bit flipped) in electron devices. With so many SoC's in the Model S, I am wondering if Tesla pays any special attention to this problem. How many times have you rebooted your touch screen because it either freeze up or some functionality is not working?
have you tried to outfit the fleet with hybrid diesel? Hybrid Diesel Trucks - Freightliner Trucks
I worked for a transit agency that spent a LOT of money on hybrid buses!

I'm an Systems Engineer for a well respected and well known Enterprise IT Consulting firm in the SF Bay Area. Going to be placing my Model S reservation shortly now that I have the Volt bought for my wife.

Pilot flying turboprops (C208s) for a well known "Federal" company :wink: In another life in UK (I'm an "Ameri-Brit" now), a photographer. Worked for a while in advertising then switched to the MoD (DoD) and got to fly in some fast jets from time to time. The acceleration in the Model S reminds me A LOT of takeoff with twin afterburners fired up in a BAe Jaguar :smile:

How come I didn't know this thread before going to TESLIVE. This would help to know better about those who came to the event!
I am in computer software in Silicon valley, various roles. Started up a couple of software ventures, didn't make it. The latter one gone much further than the previous one though, if that counted as progress.
Now I feel investing on TSLA is like running a startup! except you can't blame anyone else for losing money.
