What are you waiting for?

Hell, I don't know. Somewhat of a procrastinator I guess. But, I just ordered a few, so looking forward to trying them!!

Apply to be a ff here in Vegas. They start in the 70's and go up from there. Most make low six figures.

I'm sure they have an age cut-off that they'll hire. Most have an age limit of 34...I'm 37. I'll just stay her and tough it out. But thanks for the insight.

I love mustard. I'm seriously thinking about ordering some. Looks very good.

You won't regret it. Stuff is serious business!

For those in or fixing to join the military (enlisted) my best advice to you is if there is a certain career path you're leaning towards once you get out research what licenses, certificates, etc are needed and pursue them on your free time while you're still in. Even though you are trained and seasoned on a piece of equipment or other fields often times it doesn't mean jack in the civilian sector w out an accredited program and paper that says you've completed it. I was a gas turbine mechanic now I make bread. No A&P license.

And, if you do it while you are in on active duty, you usually get it for free.

Don't even join the Jelly of The Month club.

We've got 90 some fireman on 3 platoons and most of our engines run 2 men... If you don't know what that means look it up!!

Used to work in the automotive field. Primarily diagnosed, repaired, and R&R'd automatic transmissions. Now I'm working for the county road department doing anything from turning wrenches to operating equipment. And sitting on my ass a lot. So much that I just take pictures of the equipment I operate. Lol

Mechanical Engineer. I started a new job for an MEP consulting firm in Denver in January. Before that I was an Engineering Manager for a manufacturer of large HVAC equipment.

Wow. What a variety. I'll play. I was an ASE Certified auto tech for a GM/Volvo dealer for 17 years and a manager the last few. I went to trade school to do auto body which was a hobby all these years. I then operated a bodyshop/towing business for 4 yrs. Here's the kicker.....I went back to school and am now an RN in an emergency department. Also volunteer as an EMT. I got my auto knowledge for my hobby, now I can do it!

You buy them things and let them nag at you?

I work on my family's cattle ranch. Right now we're in the middle of repairing all of our fences to put cows on later this year or the first of next

I restore cars. My cousin and I own an autobody paint/body/restoration shop. We also do metal fab and odd ball projects like truck bed couches and restoring vintage gas pumps.

I am late, but here are some relevant parts of my resume - certified counter man. I was the parts dept. manager of a (GM) dealership. I also play in bands. We play polkas, rock, country, big band swing, even old city band music. Pay can be good for the hours, but I often play for food and drink if the party sounds good. Paid gigs (and money for speed parts) slowed down when the economy tanked. I also have an electronics background, but bow to the real computer techs.

No sir. They buy shutters from me, nag my installers and everyone is happy.

Shutterup.com, just saying.
