I'm 26, getting married this fall, and have a Bachelors degree in Industrial Technology. I work as a Manufacturing Engineer in East Peoria, IL at Caterpillar's Track Type Tractor assembly plant. We build D6-D11 dozers. It's a pretty cool gig.

Im 23, I own and operate a landscaping company with my Horticulture Technician Certificate, and I am engaged to my girl that I have been with for the last 3.5 years. In 2010 I won 2nd place for the skills canada landscaping competition
Before that I operated a Mobile Dimension Saw (portable saw mill) up North (on the Taku river) for a mining outfit. I was cutting hemlock and spruce for bridge construction.

45 - Truck driver. Used to run 43 states in my own rig, now just WY and MT in a company truck.
I tried working with "at risk" teenagers for a few years, but on the road is what I'm good at.
I still have my truck (Western Star) and bought a dump truck (Mack), Case back-hoe, Austin-Western grader, Case wheel loader, Cat track loader and Gallion compactor. I play with this stuff on the side and would like to get an excavator if the wife will ever let me
