I am a Machine Operator/Maintenance technician on a 4 million dollar machine the size of a house that makes napkins in a paper mill. Very boring job but it pays great and I work a 12 hour rotating shift and am off 14 days a month...

Z16 · 11-09-2002, 01:18 AM

I work at a parts store/machine shop doing parts sales and running the machine shop. Kinda good cause I can spend other peoples money building big horsepower engines. Great deal on parts too.

chevypete396 · 11-09-2002, 01:35 AM

I'm a Engineer for a casino here in Reno. Not that bad at 24, I get to work on a little bit of everything.

I am a Heavy Equipment Mechanic by trade I guess, but it is too dirty a job for me and not that rewarding. I have also sold realestate and been a slot mechanic. I am always looking for some thing better. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up yet. I envy those of you who have it all figured out... Pete

"Operator Helper A" I'm an operator at an oil refinery. My area is the "FCCU" Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit. I just tell people, I make gas

Terry S · 11-10-2002, 01:54 AM

Senior H.R. Consultant for Cessna Aircraft Co, Wichita KS. I started there as an A&P mechanic many moons ago, drove a catia tube for a while (Computer drafting/engineering program), delivered Caravans for a while, blahblahblah. Now I mostly teach folks how to shoot a straight rivet, why cleaning $10k plastic windshields with windex and a dirty rag is a bad idea etc. I'm also a flight instructor, but I don't fly much any more. My wife put up with enough wierd hours before the kids got here, so I'm I'm hanging around the house nights and weekends while they're little (ages 2 & 4). I haven't had a tool box at work in a long time, so I would probably go insane-o if I didn't have something at home to tinker on. I'm a farm kid from southern Mo. and have always loved these old trucks, so it seemed like a natural fit.

Pont · 11-10-2002, 03:01 AM

I'm with you Heavy Chevy, I feel inadequate compared to these braniacs on the board. Makes me feel like a real idiot!

Tony · 11-10-2002, 08:09 AM

Pont, Heavychevy, don't feel inadequate. It's slugs like us who actually build the product, put up a building or haul it to the customer, who make the profit for the Man.

bigjimzlll · 11-10-2002, 10:23 AM

Im an electrician, working mostly on co-generation plants and hydro-electric...you get to see some nice country when working on the hydro's..worked on one in Washington that was 8 miles inside a mountain
Jim

No3Fan4Ever · 11-10-2002, 10:27 AM

Good heavens no,no,no.........nobody should feel inadequate to others;;

71custominworks · 11-10-2002, 01:03 PM

Right now I'm a press operator for a small business forms company in southeast KS. I will be graduating from Pittsburg State University Dec. 2003 with a BS in Printing Mgt. and a minor in business. So if there's anybody out there with a job on the east coast I'll be ready after then. Got to pay back those damn loans.
PS If there is anyone wanting to go into the automotive tech industry, PSU has a state of the art facility and donations from large corporations around the counrtry. I understand it is a very good program with a 2yr and 4yr degree.

71custominworks · 11-10-2002, 01:08 PM

I salute all you truck drivers, except most of them in Kentucky. You guys do a pretty rough job with high demands and are always away from your families.

**68 Stepside** · 11-10-2002, 01:48 PM

Finally...I have something in common with someone else....I make gas too, just like LeRoy....but mine is methane!
