19. Just completed my freshman year of college at Cal Poly San Luis Obsipo (12 minutes away from Pismo Beach, some of the most awesome off roading you could ever imagine.) I'm studying electrical engineering. Well, I'm not done yet actually, I have an analog circuit analysis final in 1.5 hours...

Cinco Ocho 58 years young. HVAC/R mechanic employed by a major office property company as a building engineer. Good company and great trade. In the past I've had a lot of different jobs but have done HVAC/R since 1974.
I did teach at a vocational high school for a year. Enjoyed the kids but not the system.
Four kids, five grand kids. Former Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, and coach of various youth sports.
Getting old sucks but beats the alternative.
regards
rikard

21, Pennsylvania rock farmer. I'll do almost anything under the table for a buck... I've done demolition, roofing, siding, welding, operating machinery, digging ditches(yes, with a shovel), septic work(it's a pretty crappy job...), pest and varmint control, editing documents/reports/etc., miscellaneous hauling, and I do farmers markets and sell hay, straw, grain, and eggs... you name it, I'll do it for cash.

I'm not sure what a twenty dollar bill looks like anymore, even if I make a buck I seem to have three things to spend it on, so if y'all wanna help refresh my memory...

WOW, thats a CV and a 1/2 ! I'm over 50 and have worked as a pilot for most of my work life. Started in the bush on float planes and now fly a 37 pass -8 for a airline in BC, Canada - hope to retire soon so I can work on my beaters - . Believe me, the $$ not as good as folks think or I'd be doing something else by now..

I could use the refresher as well, I'm pretty well aquainted with Washington but I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Jackson nearly as much as I'd like! And Franklin? He doesnt speak to me anymore!
