What does everyone do for a living?
 

Im a Automotive Student at LBCC going to be a wrench monkey then finish my double degree at OSU in Soc and Bidness then go into the Bidness side of cars.

What do you all do for a living?

Full Time Student, i work for a professor of mine with a grant from the DOE to do energy consulting. I graduate in may with a degree in mechanical engineering, I plan on doing some sort of consulting so I dont get bored. Hopefully opening up my own buisness eventually. Or investing heavily and retiring extremely young.

What I want is for Corky Bell to give me a job taht I cant refuse and force my g/f to move down with me...

self employed sub-contractor for lots of things, currently working with a pharmacy and courier company.

U.S. AirForce med-tech. Part time student.

ritz carlton condominium manager

Army analyst @ Fort Gordon.

Work for an ISP and mobile phone company

Engineering PhD student.

I'm currently an undergraduate majoring in Computer Engineering at VA Tech. I'm currently involved in undergraduate research to get my foot in the door for graduate school. If you get a research position while in grad school then they pay for your tutition and you get a $600/2weeks stipend. Right now I think I want to get into some sort of embedded system design, but I'm not sure completely. I also would like to eventually get a phd in computer engineering and become a research engineer.

As of right now I work on campus washing dishes for $7.75/hr when I can. Next semester I'm going to have to bum grocery money off the MOM because I'll be taking 19 credit hours of engineering classes. This summer I'll be working on a research project sponsored by the NSF that I will be more involved in than normal. Then I hope to get a nice internship or Co-op in the next year or so.

Engineering Manager for an automation equipment manufacturer.

i'm an industrial designer. done the gamut from transportation design/styling to product design (medical instruments, consumer products, environment design). i have been most successful designing furniture. office seating, desking, ergonomics, casegoods and some reisdential furniture.

I spent my almost my entire life injection molding plastic materials, from running a machine, to building them, to owning my own company. Now I am almost retired and I play with my Miata.

ID eh? My buddy is (maybe was) design director at studio red. That was my alternate design direction. Fun stuff.

I do damage assessments, hazard mitigation plan writing and review, hmgp grant review, and pretty much anything else FEMA needs me to do. I travel constantly, and essentially help get funding rolling for disaster aid while assisting from the federal level. My job rules.

senior design engineer for a company that makes very high end head-mounted virtual reality displays.

high-end means: about the cost of a new miata. I mean mx-5.

full time student....

I work for an air ambulance company. We run about 10-11 learjets moving sick folks around the world. i sell and dispatch mainly.

I sit in the back of the plane in my avatar. Here's what we do:

I design biometric and smart card based physical and logical security solutions for the federal government. I also sell my body for turbo parts.

Well who here doesnt do that?

yeah- we can't count that if you enjoy it. ;)

wow, lots of cool professionals in here.

You guys and your money. Psssh

::jealousy::

:confused:
what, did you think we were all a bunch of highschool kids?

Network Analyst at a University. Fancy name for computer geek.

I can't speak for everyone but i'm only professional between the hours of 8 and 4 ;)

Full time seminarian. The way my studies take up all my time, sometimes I want to be a cemitarian.

Anyone live near Holland, MI? I think I'm going to be going to school there this summer.

i worked in holland, mi for 4 years. my older brother lives there and works for tiara yachts,

it's a nice lakeside community. i lived about 15 minutes north in grand haven durning that time. i still have a lot of family around there despite being from detroit.

about 45 minutes south of holland is Gingerman Raceway. in the summer months you can run the roadcourse for about 3-4 hours for $60 t-th. if you want to get into car clubs, KAZOOM is the better miata club (out of kalamazoo). the furrin group i(furrin.org) s closely associated with the scca region there and puts on good autocrosses, rallycrosses, ice racing, rallies withou the typical car club politics BS.

i suggest you get a good map and try driving the lake michigan coast upto traverse city or petosky in the spring/summer/fall. it's beautiful.

i enjoy it. i don't do any transportation design anymore and am happy for that. i've had an interesting career so far.

U.S. NAVY Aviation Electronics Technician on F/A-18 Hornets.

Full-time student at Okla State for Mechanical Engineering Technology. Looking for another internship this summer.

well, it seems like most people here are creative and have unique careers, unlike most corporate bean counters.

thanks for the tip! I'll be there for about a month taking some summer intensives. I'm pondering driving there (might be fun driving cross country) or just flying in.

:vash: Hey you ratblasted so-n-so, everyone needs a bean counter from time to time. :gay:

I'm a CPA in private practice. That means (among other things) I bust ass in the winter, and get to play in the summer time.

Well i wanted to be a psychiatrist but that didn't work out so now i work for a printing company as a roll tender slowly making my way ot the top. i hope ot get my master certificate and move back to germany to make more money ad have alot more fun.

you'd need to be to keep track of all those cars ;)

Rocket Scientist.

rocket scientest realy? wow

damn can I ask you about my comission checks at work? :x:

I have a graduate degree in science and do sales/marketing for a drug discovery tool company (we make reagents for high throughput DNA sequencing). My role is primarily key accounts over ten states, so needless to say I travel a lot. Normally I'm in two to three cities a week.

sweet.

BBA in MISY but I just got a teaching certification in the state of TEXAS and am currently an ESL Middle school teacher :eek:

Taking master level courses for a MEd

Well it seems that nobody has a career even close to what i do. I teach Special Education, which is a job i sort of fell into almost unwillingly and ended up loving it completely. I am in my second full time year and I have a BA in liberal studies. I currently am an aide for an autistic child and plan to aquire a position as an intern teacher next year.

Ya I know you other guys make a lot more money, but i get a lot of time off and my job is a blast (for me at least, it takes a certain personality)

eh ... didnt see your post. Be proud of what you do. Those little mexican kids can be a pain in the ass lol :eek5: Theres a need and education is a cool profession.

My hat is off to Pitlab77 and Akaryrye.:bowdown:

Don't let the system sour you. Remember, it's for the kids; not the hierarchy.

i'm a mercedes certified parts advisor

I've been working long enough to know it ain't about the money. You spend the majority of your waking life working and if you hate, you'll be a pretty miserable person. Reason to rejoice if you're doing something you like and making a living - IMO. - rob

that's why I took 7 months off to find a good job.

and to the people who think we're professionals, not even between 8 and 4 :)

I just finished the FE Exam (8 hour exam) and I just changed my major to teaching jk

Automated systems consultant with experience in residential, commercial, and mdu, but specializing in the design of high end media rooms and systems. Dropped out of college 1 semester short of an AE after a temporary winter holiday job panned out. So we almost had two rocket scientists here. Also learning CAD so I won't have to outsource.

very nice...I want to teach high school history...I still plan on having the coolest car at school :)

The mods can do what they want where I come from.:bowdown:
