I'm a Designer/Drafter for a drilling contractor. Been doing CAD work for 18 years now......(longer than some of you have been alive.... damn I'm getting old)

We design/build/operate our onshore and offshore drilling rigs, but, lease them out to oil and gas companies.

3. I also working as a Recruiting Assistant for The Army National Guard, by Docupak, Inc. Thankfully, it's salary and I make my own hours. It's been tough, because I only recruit hot chicks, however, I haven't had much luck. Atleast recruiting them.

[dans89lx]

junior in college at the citadel right now. we arent allowed to hold jobs during the school year since we are only allowed off campus on wednesdays and weekends for certain time periods. before i got here and on my christmas and summer breaks however i work at a family run independent auto repair shop as a tech. been doing it for about 5 years now. i like it alright but i am going into the fire dept. this summer as a volunteer and going in full time after i graduate next year. with the schedule that the fire stations around here run all of the guys that work at them hold second jobs since most of them work 2 days on 2 days off or a similar variation. ill keep working at the shop on my days off from the station for a little extra money and to let my old man have a few days off since he's getting a little beat down after being in the business for 30 years. Other than that i plan on sitting around drinking beer as much as possible and working on my own car...i will fund these hobbies by carrying out my plan to marry my fiance who will be going to med school shortly

[blackened88lx]

I'm 19 and I'm a Harley-Davidson technician at a full-line dealership. It doesn't pay what it sounds like it should, but it's a lot of fun, and I like the people I work with/for, so it works for now. I just got approved for test rides, so I'll be getting paid to ride motorcycles all summer

 

[Strype]

I'm an E5 in the Navy. Submarines to be exact. Primarily Im a Torpedo weapons tech. Maintaining the computers & air, water, hydraulic systems that put the warheads on foreheads- so to speak and various security positions. ... Youre either (SS) or youre not.

Oh god... And if any of you have ever hung around or worked with a Submariner you'd know they're a little "off"



Just kidding I worked with a guy who is a little strange and we blame it on his time in a submarine

 

[Chuckman]

im a 2nd shift machinist, running a cnc lathe, working 50-60hours a week and still not getting paid enough. i just got my associates in pmt from ranken in december, and ive been there almost a year, so hopefully a raise is forthcoming.

 

[tunedin302]

30 yrs old here - attorney and licensed PA realtor.

I pretty much busted my a$$ through school and am finally at a decent point where I can enjoy my cars and have some left for the mods. Trust me - I have had close to every job possible through high school and college - CAD designer, snowplow/grass business, junior mechanic / gas jockey, personal trainer, bouncer, GNC sales, overnight shift at RPS (like UPS) through college unloading and loading trucks It has made me appreciate where I am at now.

 

[backfocus]

32 years old- Senior Director, Shooter, Editor for a Production Company.

We do national & regional commercials, along with documentaries and TV Programming. I work on most all projects but am the director of the TV Programming side. We shoot fishing shows (not your grandpa's fishing shows) and are currently working on a music show. Here is a link to one of our shows. www.scottmartinchallenge.com

Most of the work was done on my car back in 1991 when it was rare to see one moded out like we do today. I was still in college and worked full-time as a HVAC Tech and installed audio systems on the side. So, I don't know how I even had the time to do anything to it, but it happened. Although it has become a garge queen for the last 5 years, and it is currently in the process of a make-over since it needed all new gaskets and seals anyway, why not.

 

[98BLKGT]

Officer with the sheriff's dept. (Crown vics didn't keep up with my old 02 gt)

Service writer.

 

[StangerT]

I am 35 and a SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR for a Microprocessor manufaturing company

(It's just a fancy term for a slave!)

But it pays the bills...

 

[lovinspeed]

There is quite the diverse workforce we have here. There is even an attorney that drives a fox body

Nice.

 

[lovinspeed]

So now we know who makes all the money! But seriously, some of these guys must be independently wealthy. We've got an expensive hobby, I think if we could smell each other it would reek of debt.



Sincerly,
Mr. 10,012.

I make good money, but I am extremely cheap. I already think I spend too much on my cars and it is not even close to as much as most people on here spend.

[iLkYsPoNy]

Like myself, a few of us are service writers/advisors or do something in the car business. I'm 19 years old and have done everything from detail, sell, to service and everything in between. I love the peeps I work with but I have to agree with the resounding opinion....


THE CAR BUSINESS SUCKS!





Sincerly,
Mr. 10,012.
