I've worked full-time for the Mass ANG as a A-10 crewchief since 1989. It's a great job, the travel is wonderful, and the jet is a joy to work on! It's kinda the Jeep of jets. The plane in the pic, 79-0104, is mine, and you can't see me, but I was in the cockpit scrunched down while this was taken, holding the brakes so the plane wouldn't roll away.

Bosch, you know, the spark plug guys. I work in the Wheel End Division making Corner Modules for Ford Explorers. Corner Mods are the knuckle, hub, rotor, caliper, etc. Word has it we're getting a DC contract for Grand Cherokee Corners. Maybe I can switch over and it will be free brake pads for everyone.

 

I am just a unemployed lazy bum.

Can someone please bring me a hammer my 33's just ate my fender again. Damn i need more lift.

I really dislike this question.

My real job is a janitor at a private school (5:30-9ish)
I'm also a substitute school van driver (7-8am, 2:40-3:50, 3:45-5:00)
I'm also a substiture maintenance man there (8-5)
I'm also an occasional computer geek there, like this summer when I help wire up the remodeled High School-turned-Middle School for the new network, and set up the newly built High School and Science Lab computers

I make anywhere from $500-1200 a pay period (bi-monthly)

Nothing wrong with anyone's job, so long as it's honest work. It's all needed, someone has to do it, and it's important to have the right person in the right job or all hell will break loose.

Well, I don't really have an exciting job. No engineering here. No real technical aspects to my job. Just drive a car, find the house, and deliver the Pizza But it pays good. Hey, I'm only 18!!! Hehehe...

My degree is actually in robotics (PC controlled, PLC controlled, etc), but there just isn't much to offer in this area for that kind of work (unless I want to spend 12 hours a day in a clean room suit.. no thanks).

Up until a couple weeks ago I was a Standard Issue Manafacturing Drone at Motorola. I got really fed up and quit. 2 weeks later they offered a voluntary severence package and I would have got $4000/wwwthreads_images/icons/mad.gif. But oh well. Right now I'm unemployed but that's got to end soon. I'll probably go do construction again, hey it's only 100 degrees out/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif. I might get a job welding or doing fab work but I have my own fab biz, Overkill Offroad, and don't want to get burned out. I haven't been working on my biz for a few months now, I tried too grow to big too fast and paid severly for it. But I'm getting going again I should be getting the huge hydraulic ram for my bender soon so hopefully I be back up and bending in no time, a little poorer and a lot smarter.
