What ya do, how long, how many hours??

blackened88lx · Jan 16, 2008

Certified Harley-Davidson Technician. Been there 4 years, and it's the only place I've ever worked. I work 35-55 hours a week depending on the season and how much I feel like working. I've been thinking about finding something better paying, but I absolutely love the work, I get paid to ride bikes every day, and I have what I feel are the best coworkers and bosses I could ask for.

I work for a chemical plant right and just started about 2 weeks ago. Before that I was a fiberglass/gelcoat/paint tech for a boat marina and did that for 5 years.

I'll take a spin at this, as I have not started an actual career, yet.

19 hours this semester (like the last one) at the University of Central Arkansas, graduating next year with a Bachelor's in Business Management.

This summer I have gotten hired on for an internship at Target Stores. I am very excited, as I worked at a grocery store for nearly 5 years. I love retail. I just got to get a job as an ETL, then store manager (big $)

Everyones adding their perks, so I'll throw mine in.

Salary, 3 weeks paid vacation, unlimited sick days, staff RRSP's in lieu of a pension plan, full benefits and free staff banking.

Looking to add a mobile automotive detail business on the side, and once my back gets fixed, perhaps teach martial arts, or do some self defence programs.

haha well not all the time, Just some vehicles bug me when I have to make certain adjustments and I got stuck bolts and the PB Blaster just aint working.

I hate pulling out the torch and heating stuff up, Im just afraid that car will come back and haunt me with loss of steering, broken part or worse lol

Some cars with camber/caster adjusments front and rear are a pain, and I dont even want to install shims if its a solid axle, talk about a headache. But I guess with every car it comes with headachs once in a while.

But when its a stang that rolls into the shop Im happy if I have to alighn it
But unlike Subaru where there is only 4/5 differnt modles, I see them all, but its good to get used to them all because it just makes me better.
