What was Gordon's profession?


He said he works nights, and he is obviously in a "profession" that involves a certain amount of education and such. I was thinking he may have been a reporter, but I don't remember the movie ever making it clear.

I watched the film twice last week, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what went on in his office. Because he began work at 5 pm, I first assumed he was at a newspaper, but the office layout didn't seem to match what I know newsrooms looked like back then. Maybe it was a weekly, instead of daily paper. I didn't see any women, either.

For some strange reason...I could be mistaken...but I thought Gordon was an engineer. He's white collar as is his brother, a soon to be physician. I could be confused...it's been a verrry long time since I've seen the film.
