I am a scientist doing research for a pharmaceutical company in drug development.

God I hope I never have to take this stuff...

Well, THAT makes me feel better. Thank God that the Human-testing is usually done outside of the US (in Croatia, England or some other country).

But don't they still do some of the testing here ? It's those job ads that say "$2500/wk" and they inject you with new drugs. You basically sign a waiver that says you can't come back at them with a lawsuit... regardless if you grew a third arm because of the drugs.

Hey Folks,
I have not been contributing to the forum much lately, but I check in every day.

I am Safety and Security Specialist for the Public Safety Department of a private college that has a lot of properties (including the utilities for the city) and land (10,000 acres). I do everything from street police work (that is why I am working overnight right now!) to OSHA inspection and followup. I teach Defensive and Professional Driving to a couple hundred students each year. We have a large motorpool fleet of cars and vans and our students do a lot of driving for outreach programs and special trips all over the country. I really enjoy knowing that I am saving some lives and also promoting efficient performance driving.
I have two 87 325's, an 83 320is, an 83 Audi GTcoupe, a crown vic wagon, a ton dodge maxivan (former surveillance van), 83 Honda Nighthawk cycle, a couple of GM 3.1 V6 cars, and a couple of 325 parts cars. Shoot me now, please!
I could tell you more about my earlier life but then I would have to kill you!
Road music: nothing. I like to hear all the little bearings turning! Listen to JJ Cale while I work (drive a black Toyota Tundra 4X4 with an awesome light package on the roof. That truck will scoot!!)and RoadsterGal, yes that theme to Sopranos is good stuff.
My best to you all, guten morgen!

So those of you who make the big bucks, just remember there are people like me that arn't making ****, but we still enjoy protecting others and serving our country. Just keep that in-mind.

It is just pretty sad that everyone doesn't respect the military as much as they should. But when you bring up the **** we go through then they realize that it is a rough job. And I am not bragging. I just hear people belittling the military all the time, and me and others serving the country get tired of it. I dont see the people complaining going to these other countries and having a possible chance of losing there lives to protect those who are back in the USA.

Thanks for the appriciation.
