What do we do for jobs?

[KSboxers]

I'm a Dry Etch technician at Intel. The toolset I work on makes the little interconnect lines for connection transistors and sram together. 0.45um stuff these days. I work 12 hr days, 4 on 4 off and 3 on and 3 off. So, I play on days off and not much on days that i work 12 hrs and have to get up at 0430 sucks....

BS EET

I was wondering if any manufacturing people would show up. I did wet etch maint for Agere/Lucent/AT&T (name changed every couple years or so) for about 10 years, then the plant closed and moved to Singapore. So then i moved to ID and worked for Micron doing photo maint for 2 years. They had a big reduction to move some work overseas and dumped 1000 people. Pretty much all the new people (guess who that included :thumbsup: ). So now my wife and i are back in FL where the state is currently funding my reeducation (special program for people in career level jobs that have been outsourced out of the country). Lucky for me i have a house the i inherited and paid off both my cars while i was in ID. So i do a bit of consulting work and go to school, but mostly play WoW and go hang out at my sisters condo on the beach. I never thought i would be so happy to lose my job. Did manufacturing maint for 12 years and always wished i was doing IT work. But as you know it's feast or famine, so when i wasn't getting layed off i was spending every second at work with no time to go to school. I should have known something was wrong when all the way through college i never liked the hands on stuff but loved the theory.

Nice, I've been doing this for about 15 yrs now. Originally from Fort Walton Beach FL. After joining the USAF and letting them pay for College I went to work for Intel after 10 yrs in the military. Been here in New Mexico ever since. Was avionics technician on F-111 aircraft and ben working electronics ever since. Hope it lasts till the house if paid off, 6 more years, never know in the semiconductor business.

[size=9][color=#57595a][font='Trebuchet MS']omg, NM? haha. one of my old coworkers is at Intel there. Tell Geg Yatco i said hey. This is the old SOB he gave a professional reference to Micron after Agere closed. Tell him i finally gave up on the manufacturing industry. Greg is probably hangin around some aspect of maint. He was the best eng i ever met. Motivation + logical thinking to the extreme. Sadly i never had the natural mech ability he does.[/font][/color][/size]
