What is your career?

"a decent IQ" is IMHO an unfortunate phrase to use in this forum.

I'm a records manager in the public sector. My job involves reviewing records to determine if they are still useful to my organisation and decide whether to retain or dispose of information. It can be a bit tricky at times to make decisions but my manager is very supportive and is pleased with how I'm doing so I do consider myself to be fairly competent in my job.

I have a none existing one.

I apologize for the word choice. Looking back, I wanted to echo the phrase "high IQ" that's been used but then I felt arrogant saying that, and more than a little dishonest, because (like everyone) my intelligences are specific and I have a lot of areas where my mind struggle, that others find easy. I guess what I wanted to say is I was lucky to have specific intelligences that have helped me learn effective people skills, although it's taken till my 30's ti really integrate things.

To the original post, though: I'm a systems engineer in the aerospace industry. I do a lot of requirements management and spend a lot of time in databases and doing technical writing. It's exhausting on a day to day basis, like most any job I suppose, but I have an easy going boss right now and feel really fortunate to be in this position, while it lasts (before the program ends in a year or so, and it's off to a new team).
