For me it's probably speech therapy and everything pertaining to that. I'm yet to encounter someone on here who is one apart from me (in training).

What about you?

The few, the proud, the usually seated, the stationary engineering people.

very interesting areas of expertise! Any interesting stories you have? Organizing a festival is such a huge undertaking.

Festival organizing is obviously a lot of work, even for smaller festivals like we did (think a big tent with 1500 guests and a few artists and dj's). Since most of the work is done beforehand, we usually had it quite chill on the festival days. So we always took our times, hung out backstage with the artists and always had a buffet going there. Most artists loved being with us, because usually they would just get an assigned dressing room and a stage time. We loved doing this, because we got to hang out with the artists. So, amateur tip; if you organize a festival, hire bar personnel for the festival day and have a good time.

Sounds fun! Well deserved for all the effort that goes into it.
