      cdavis I like looking at it too. It would be fun to look at one list to see what everyone does. Funny how so many diverse professions can have one thing in common.

        cdavis Thank you, it was very interesting work, but sometimes dealing with the government makes you realize why a hammer can cost $300.

              I really enjoyed this topic but no one has posted here in quite a while so I thought I would try to resurrect it. We have so many new community members I hope some of them will share a little about themselves. Hope it works.

                    I don’t think I ever added myself in this thread.

                    I am a Director at a self-regulatory organization for the US derivatives market - specifically OTC Derivatives (Swaps Dealers). My team is responsible for all system development and project management as well as data analytics and reporting for my department. My department is only 10 or so years old and was formed to implement the regulatory program for Swaps under the Dodd-Frank Act. The company also regulates futures/commodity registrants and also provides regulatory services for some contract markets. My education is Accounting but most of my work experience is in IT development after a start doing Compliance Audit.

                      Jamieson22 I read your post and even though its a different sector all I can think about are clips from The Big Short.

                      Its interesting how so many people in this community have such a varied background.

                            We send a lot of containment well cellars to PA for drilling. If you have hauled any water to an EQT, Cabot, Southwest Energy, Anadarko, or Chevron pad, you have crossed paths with some of our stuff.

                                I’m always curious what everyone does for a profession in these groups. It is always cool to see how diverse we are. I am a State Trooper and have been since 2007. Prior to that I worked many years in home construction and taught second grade right out of college.
