Import, export, laytex, and so on. Maybe you have hurd of my company Vandalay Indurstries? I've really been a union plumber/pipefitter for the last 6 years with LU 422. My dad owns a transporting company that hauls campers, enclosed trailers & flatbeds as well as moving lLTL freight with out 30 and 45 foot flatbeds all over the country. I just jump in when ever I'm laid-off or when I need a little extra side cash.

Professional Comic Book Store Owner! (Yah, trying to make it sound more important than it is, but it`s paying the bills and sure is fun) Also run a part time landscaping company. Used to work in Ultrasonics with non destructive testing on the railway for way too long. Haven`t taken the plunge, but may as well have. No kids, just toys. Just not enough time to use em all!

I'm about to start my 6th year straight of college. Plan to finish my Master's in Mechanical Engineering in December. I guess my official "job" right now is graduate research assistant. Basically I get paid to work on my research for my thesis. I work on a project in which we are developing fiber reinforced composite engine valves.

Same as Tenn01PSD350 After 2 of my officer friends were murdered in 1 year figured it was time to leave. Married twice, the second one now for 17 years (the best person in the world) with 3 kids and 3 grandkids. Will be joining my professional wife in Washington State here soon where she is working her dream job in Cancer care. I'll be a captain of my own boat and doing whale tours..... life doesn't get much better....

I work in the oil patch. On the side Im a first year electrician, and I own a small business that doesnt really make a whole lot of cash yet!
I am always looking for better work though. I cant find a job where they pay me to sit around and drink beer all day though

I'd worked at Lotus engineering and left to go work at DCX's new engine plant in Dundee MI.What a mistake. Lotus called and asked me if I would consider coming back.Didn't even have to think that one over.Put my notice in and now back at Lotus on midnights as the 3rd shift surpervisor.Life's is good. I only lasted 16 months at DCX.They work a rotation days one week and afternoons the next Monday morning thru Sunday morning 3;00A.M.)During the day I'm a blacksmith. Love those horses. Thats how I got my 7.3 to pull my horse trailer.
