Another thread got me ta thinkin'...just what is everybody's trade? For a big "family", I haven't the foggiest what most of you do for a living.

Me, I co-manage a collision repair shop. Work the line as well when needed.

I'm the dangerous one...I know a little about alot of things but not a whole lot on any one thing. I was a machinst but those jobs are hard to come by so while I am off i started a small metal finishing service out of my garage. I do intakes, wheels, pullies, anything you want nice and shiny. I also without really trying started selling cars on consignment, did it for one friend then before I knew it everyone wanted me to sell there car. In the summer i teach advanced riding lessons on my horses, and I compete in paper chases and some bareback and bronc riding. when time allows I volunteer with the Border Collie rescue, mostly transports and overnight fostering.

I work for Eaton Global Hose, I'm responsible for all the H430 series hose that is sold at Napa, and many of the Aeroquip braided hoses are made on the line directly next to me. Jack Roush and Joe Gibbs were waiting on a shipment from us before the Daytona 500. Plus I'm thinking 'bout finishing up my business degree or get me a mechanical engineering degree.

TSgt USAF thats all I can tell you or I have to kill yaa jk.

I used to be a telephone cable maintenance guy who installed and repaired copper and fiber phone and data lines outside.

Three years ago I retrained into a career called 3C0X1 which is termed "Computer Operator"
I do everything from monitoring networks administer routers, switches and firewalls, building and configuring email and data servers to building desktop PC. I have even done the help desk thing too. But lately my job is management I supervise 21 technicians including civilian ,contractor and military, While trying to get certified in CCNA, MCSE and also learn some programing like c++ and visual Basic --My 20 year old AAS degree in programing isn't much help either. "hint hint" Im old you do the math
Big 4------------O this year March 7

Sound like a geek yet NOT my true love is the good old 4 stoke equipped with glasspaks and a Posi had my II since 87
