I'm fresh out of high school and I work as a skidder operator for a logging outfit in Glenwood, Wa. I'm enrolled in an EMT course and am headed to paramedic school. My dad tried to talk me out of it. He is one and I make more money driving skidder than he does being a medic.

Thanks for the info ... the reason I asked is I represent SNK in this area (North Alabama - Middle/Central Tennessee). Was wondering what your opinions on the SNK machines were versus the others you mentioned.

Boeing is one of my customers here also, ... the Delta rocket plant in Decatur, AL. Looks to be some tough times ahead for those guys, with the Lockheed-Martin / Boeing debacle going on right now.

That is way cool brewski!!! Where did you come up with that Idea??

67_SS396 · 08-07-2003, 01:12 AM

I am a Residential Realestate Appraiser. I set my own hours and make out my own pay check. The harder I work, the more I get paid.

I only spend a couple hours a day inside behind a computer, the rest of the day, I'm on the road looking at houses/land and meeting new people. The best thing is, I don't have to work late nights or weekends, unless I want to.
