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.
