Not so simple answer?
I'm the "escalation specialist" at a company of thirty technicians, so I work on anything that someone else has failed to fix. Duplicator, fax, printer, copiers from desktop to printing press, wide format copier or ink jet, plus the networking that goes with all of those, and the "solutions" which can be added to them (aftermarket options to make them do what the manufacturer never intended).

It's fun, I get all the headache machines after they've been butchered up, and 90% of the customers I see are already pissed off.

Sounds like my job of helping my parents. They've already made a mess, so a lot of times I feel like a garbage cleaner. What's worse is when we've laid out procedures together to prevent mess and they don't follow it.
:facepalm:

At least we're good at our job.

Yep, outdoor job!
Horticulturist and Landscaper. I have a Ford Courier 'ute' which is my work horse and I spend most of my time in it.....I love to slide into the calm and solid surroundings of the Kizashi to pretend I'm cruising 'high-end'...haha. Do have an Mx-5,(Miata) to throw around when I need to, as well....

Media planner/buyer for an ad agency (edit: I place ads in front of eyes and ears).

Now if Suzuki had been one of my clients...they might still be here in America

I'm really curious since your opinion comes from a professional point of view--what could they have done differently, and what would you have done given the entire project from scratch?

Nope, I've only been to facilities in Maryland and Virginia, but my co-workers fly all over the country for prison visits. I have a specialized assignment and assist with a lot of the technological/digital forensics aspects of investigation and trial work so I do less of the traveling around than others in my office.
