67XR7 01-04-2012 07:35 AM

Electrician Apprentice. Just started my 4th year.

Currently working on my AA for water/wastewater treatment and will be looking to obtain a BS in management.

Being an Electrician has been Great! it has allowed me to make moves in life that I wasnt able to before due to financial constraints. But this is not where I want to be for the rest of my life due to the tremendous amounts of traveling (added cost of fuel which is forever rising)and the variance in pay from county to county not to mention work is hit or miss sometimes.

Before this I worked as a assistant manager at a major auto parts chain and worked part time as an ASE certified mechanic fixing Mercedes Benz's. did that for about 9 years.

Cool, you forman at Carter GM?? I think almost all of my highschool buddies worked there back in the day.

Myself, I am a one man show. Own/operate/manage etc a Retail Furniture store in Burnaby, BC, Canada: www.furnitura.ca have been doing this for almost 10 years. My father was an owner of a local sofa manufacturing plant so I've known sofa construction since I was a small kid. Retail has it's ups and downs. Ups: rewards and profits of owning your own business downs: tons of time invested and you are customer driven so the slow economy has really effected my industry alot in the last few years.

2nd job is I also am a property manager, mainly commercial/warehouse space. Property is my investing 102.

3rd job, help raise my twin daughters and have a 3rd en route.

As you can see I'm an extremely busy guy wish I had time to attend events..

I'm a Mechanical Engineer at a mountain bike company. A job I love but also spans outside the 8hrs a day with all the fun biking, so kindof impedes on car work haha.

Considering going reserve with my local PD to keep my foot in it.

I am an electronics engineer focusing on RF (radio frequency) and analog hardware design. I have been working for a major telecom supplier for the past 14 years alternating chief engineer and project manager roles on 4G, 3G, and 2G base station development programs. It's a young man's game but I hope to last another 10 years until I retire.

I'm the Manager of a Technical Support team of 8.

The basis of what our company does is sell OEM repair parts for all forms of kitchen equipment in the food service industry. We sell to all the big chains, McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, Culver's, Outback Steakhouse, etc. as well as mom & pop restaurants and eateries.

On my side of the business we provide electrical and mechanical technical support for several manufacturers of food service equipment. Our company has grown by leaps and bounds in the 7 years of it's existence, something like over 2500%. Five years ago I was the 18th employee hired, today we have 78 employees, and plan on doubling the size of the company in the next 2 years!!

I feel extremely fortunate to have my job and to work for a company moving forward in very difficult times in this country.

I am amazed at some of the interesting and unique jobs/careers some of you guys have, as I just read ALL 16 pages of this thread!! LOL

I started out as a Petroleum Transfer technician( gas pumper) at a young age and then tried to become a professional race car driver for quite a few years (ran out of money) and then moved up to Manger of the Petroleum distribution center ( Gas Station ) and finally on to owner of the facility. Just don't tell anyone else ! you know with the price of gas :_paranoid :_paranoid

Assistant Vice President of Finance for Brandman University. We have about 10,000 students and about 26 different locations, including a few in Washington.

No one can understand my hobby at work--I wear a suit and tie everyday, deal with audit and finance commitees, etc---it's always fun to see the reactions of these folks when they ask what I do outside of work.
