Brian · 03-21-2007, 04:31 PM

Work for an aftermarket car company right now.

Getting my degree in Interpersonal Communications soon.

I think I might do composite work and build F18s soon. Not sure. Just thought about it yesterday.

Also might go into stupid television industry.

And then I also think I want to be a real tough ass and work on the East Coast bustin ass all day and then hittin the bar on the way home. Then hang with the family.

WHAT

OptionZero · 03-21-2007, 05:07 PM

law school, which is pretty much the same as a job...without pay or offdays

chibo · 03-21-2007, 05:12 PM

Mechanical engineering. I think I'm going to ditch it and go into the Navy before I off myself though. At this point I buy trucks on craigslist, fix them, and resell them.

Navy??? OH NOES!!!!!!!!

But seriously, if you have a degree in Mechanical Engineering you can go flight engineer or something cool like pilot or WSO (weapons systems operator).

WSO as in 'wizzo', the 'copilots' in bombers that do the targeting stuff? I just say Navy because I want to get the hell out of where I am now.

Yep 'wizo' is the nick name for them...like 'rio' for the tomcats. Having an engineering degree opens up a lot of options in the navy. You can go officer, or you can go in enlisted for 4 years and the Navy will pay off your school loans. *this route though you are probably an E3 coming in, it sucks because you have an education far above that of the people you are working for and you will want to choke the shit out of them*

thejapino · 03-21-2007, 08:34 PM

County Bus Operator. I drive for a living. Its very interesting and everyday is different b/c you never know who's gonna get on or whats gonna happen on your bus!

No different than being a non commissioned officer and having 2LTs fresh out of school coming to "lead" you.

Thankfully I was done with that years ago.

prang11 · 03-21-2007, 05:31 PM

Im an exclusive agent for Allstate Insurance. Self employed and working for commisions. I might not be able to eat after march, its so slow.

deadpirate · 03-21-2007, 07:04 PM

currently going to school majoring in the video industry. getting a bachelors in the science of the arts. also started my own productions company. currently working on a video magazine within the tuner/aftermarket industry. its fun cuz i get to hang out at events, and try to avoid getting tire rubber in my eyes

mRclARK1 · 03-21-2007, 07:13 PM

I would like to be a professional criminal... but the general public and the legal system seem to have a beef with people in that profession.

.... I kid.

I debated about making the military a career, but I'm in university now, planning on going into law school. I'll probably stick with that... I'm only 21 though. I'm young.

0100 · 03-21-2007, 07:21 PM

Post-OP RN for 6+ years now. Blah good money, but my goal now is to get in the best fighting shape of my life. Right now I am stronger, faster, and wiser than when I was fighting 10 years ago. I went through a few years when I was racing and all I did was race and/or work on my car. Fuck that! I now train twice a day and feel great. My life is train,work,train,sleep. Boring life with no time for friends but I like it that way.

S14Josh · 03-22-2007, 12:27 AM

Right now i do bitch work at a car dealership

Im going to school for Film. well, im at the community college right now. Im looking for a good four year university that specializes in film/television, and wont put me in debt for the rest of my life.

But yeah, i've always wanted to do editing for full length films. Or even doing some bizzare television show.

I gots lots of ideas constantly going through my head.

Giraffazilla and Friends.
Mon-Starr, and his tasty companion, Timmy the billy-goat.
Or i've always wanted to make a movie named Bob. I dont know what it would be about though.

dont go to brooks institute...good school...will pwn u for life through student loans. on a plus side..you will be playing with cameras within 2 months, where as USC wont let your near a camera for 2 years

klohiq · 03-22-2007, 07:15 AM

Prep cook/cook/dishwasher and on the 26th I'll be training to be a machinist FT and still working as a prep-cook part time.

I thought about the marines and would still like to go, but my gf said we'd probably break up because I'd be gone a lot.

ASE certification is in the cards next and my gf is going to school for business management and accounting so with any luck we will open a shop together

...I'm thinking half strip-club, half motorcycle garage...

My gf of 3 years dumped me 2 days before I left for the military. This was AFTER she supported my decision and said it wouldn't bother her. haha. I was kinda like "Thanks!.... bitch"

Not trying to scare you....

Yeah we've talked about it a lot...a lot of my friends went in and a few of them are over in Iraq right now. While I don't agree with the war, I am really interested in fixing what we ruined by giving them "freedom". All the people that were rich or well off left the country long ago while the working class (like myself) are still there enjoying their "freedom".

But yeah, it's basically a dealbreaker so I'd much rather marry her than volunteer to be one of Bush's human shields.

TurDz · 03-22-2007, 12:32 AM

Mechanical engineer and working with cars

Kaizen. · 03-22-2007, 03:27 AM

Porn star and going to school.

turtl631 · 03-22-2007, 04:02 PM

I'm finishing up my undergrad, B.S. in biology and a minor in Spanish (lol, minors are so useless, it doesn't even go on your diploma). I studied those subjects because I really enjoy them, and they just happen to be pretty useful for going into medicine as well. Next year I'm starting med school in Chicago somewhere, maybe eventually become an ER doc? They say everyone changes their mind in med school, but I'm interested in ER for pretty non-emotional reasons, so I think there's a good chance I'll end up there.

There sure are a lot of computer, engineering, and military people on here. I love how the people with office jobs didn't specify, but just made comments about their cubicles...haha.

wootwoot · 03-22-2007, 04:47 PM

Working on BMW's is NOT fun....Nissans arent to hot either. Hondas=the best and least amount of tools you will need. Mazda isnt to bad either and has an awesome training program/dealer network

I think he was more so saying that certain dealers have specific training programs otherwise they wont hire and all. It doesnt matter much if you're a master tech though.

Nismosigma · 03-22-2007, 07:54 PM

Thanks for all the little tidbits of info you guys are giving me. As far as the tools, damn! I wouldn't mind working at a Honda or Mazda dealership, basically any place where I feel comfortable and enjoy what I'm doing. Right now I'm just a full time student which has it's perks but also has its negatives.... like being broke.

wootwoot · 03-22-2007, 08:00 PM

You can buy a rather small box from Snap On specifically developed for Honda dealerships that has all the tools you need. Is "kinda" cheap too.

d*star180 · 03-22-2007, 11:17 PM

SHIT....alot of high dollar big boy gigs in this fucking thread(also alot of people overglamorizing lame gigs).
Im just a fucking parts guy at Murrays auto parts.

FAIL.

Whether you agree with Iraq or not is beside the point really...
I learned the hard way though, if YOU want to do something and you feel it's important to you and it's the right thing to do... do it and don't let anyone stop you. IMHO she would support you no matter what if you're really that important to her, cause then what you want would be important to her as well.

But I digress I do... this is way off topic from the thread.

derek_s13 · 03-23-2007, 10:19 PM
