According to my parents? Well, my first job is school (RHS Puyallup, WA) and then followed by an employee at The Liberty- Puyallups Grand Events Hall! Hey, I typed that right off the buisiness card. Its easy work, and all the $$ goes into my baby.

According to the Gov't, I'm an "Applied Science Technician". In real terms I program high end life safety systems. It gets me into some of the most cool and scarey places in the world, after 30 years in the business I still haven't seen it all.

wouldn't call it living more like surviving. I am a child care professional. Basically I raise other peoples kids. But since that doesn't pay enough to pay my way through college I go home on the weekends and work for one or both of my parents. Dad's a plumber, need I say more? Mom's a daycare director and ususlly I clean carpets or closets for her. basically whatever I have to do to make it through college and out the other side.

I'm a owner-operator Truck driver presently (last 25 years)but if fuel keeps going up I may retire. My truck gets about 6 mpg and at $1.65--$1.80 it will not take long to burn up my retiremnt money. I haul chickens from Georgia to the west coast and bring back produce but soon may quit.
