AutoBody Tech ...But not for much longer . On the simple fact that just about anything pays better than this dead trade .

Outside service's at the local country club. Clean, fix, tow golf carts and whatever else needs to be done. Currently still in high school so it works out good!

Looking to go to school to be a Heating, A/C, Refrigeration repair guy. Unless a shop would like to hire me and I'll go to school to do whatever they want! :thumbsup:

Whipping post, humanitarian, cooler, motivator, closer, salesperson, marketer, leader.... :rolleyes:

Owner/ operator paint and body shop !! We build cars ground up hot rods and fix wrecked Hondas or what ever pays the bills!! :thumbsup:

Damn I bet that looks cool on a business card!::unibrow:

Good luck, he won't even bring me a flippin Pizza.:D

Firefighter/paramedic here!! Can't beat it with a stick. I work 10 days a month with 24 on shift, 48 hours off. The best part...I have the only job in America that pays me to sleep. With my vacation time and holiday days off, I work about 100 days a year.

Robotic Welding Technologist here. Got into welding thinking it could give me a handy skillset for working on my own stuff, and it evolved into programming robots. Now I don't have the skills OR the time to work on my own stuff. :rofl:

Engineer in title only....
 

I work for a little aerospace company, Lockheed Martin, at a missile and explosives manufacturing site. We have been know to test the things we make too, WHOO HOOO!! I do a little bit of everything, but mostly I'm the Security and Safety guy.

There are about 4 kinds of employees at that kind of place, managers (who tell you what to do, but not how to do it), hands on workers (the ones who do the hard day-to-day work), administrative folks (people who never leave their desks, but use email, phones and keyboards the whole day), and engineers (the folks that figure out how to make the other three kinds of employees work together, and they aren't engineers, just engineers in title). I fall into the engineer category, figuring out how to do the job right, so that nobody gets hurt or in trouble. It is a full time job, and then some.

The work is always a challenge, very rewarding, every once in a while it is rocket science, and I get to be a part of some really cool stuff when new projects come along. Really keeps the mind sharp and expanding. A lot like figuring out how to put your car together, and keep it running. And doing what it takes to make it better.

I own a video production company. My primary role is post production (editing, graphics, animation), but we all do a little bit of everything. It's a fun job that constantly evolves, but deadlines can get a little crazy.

On a side note, my Camaro project did somewhat inspire me to start my own business...

I was working on the car one day and messed up a replacement panel I had bought (can't remember what)...and man, did I get angry. I was mad at myself for messing it up, mad that I was worried about the cost of it and mad that I would never finish this endless project on my small salary. I clearly remember sitting on the curb, staring at the car and thinking "something has to change."

Of course that wasn't the only reason, but it was definitely a factor in the decision to quit my job and take a chance...thankfully, it has worked out pretty well so that car will always mean a lot to me. :thumbsup:

janitor, accountant, salesman, secretary, manager.....:faint:

Crack Whore:D

I thought it was Jackass?

And you're dam expensive too! :lol:

I work for In-N-Out Burger. I do a little bit of everything in the stores and every few months make long trips to far away places to train and develop new stores and associates. I most recently spent 5 months in Dallas, TX where the company is making it's big push right now.

It's not the most glorious job on the planet, but I enjoy it and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Before this, I did computer security consulting. When I was 13... :wow:

I have 2 bodyshops with 25 employees and want more . We love DRP the process here ( we are dpr for 10 insurance co.) , i dont have to advertise ,worry about payment , get paid what i want to fix the car .
DRP's if your not on one you hate them .

Started out as a Union Carpenter. Worked my way to Superintendent and ran residential, commercial, and public works projects for 8 years. Got my General Contaractor's license and did residential and commercial projects. Bought a bunch of properties, sold a few, and then moved to El Dorado Hills because they had the best public schools for my 3 little ones. Built our dream house, became a Building Inspector for Sacramento County and then moved to Inspecting Sacramento County infastructure which is basically anything that a contractor builds in the county right of way(water main, storm drain, sewer systems, sidewalk, curb, gutter, ADA ramps, commercial driveways, etc,etc). I have worked some pretty huge projects, my biggest being a 12' diameter sewer line 45' underground and 4 miles long. They basically call that tunnel work.
Got laid off last January after 5 years with the county and now I'm back to being a General Contractor and slowly building my cliental back up and loving every minute of it.
Nothing beats being your own boss!!
