Job

[kjp800]

I'm a semi-professional race car driver AND an amateur tatto artist.:coolspot:

:spit::spit::spit: thats great

I'm a firefighter as my full time job. Work part time as a sales rep for Pierce Mfg. (Fire apparatus builder). When I'm not doing that I'm at the farm either driving or turning wrenches. And when I'm really bored I go back to my old job as a John Deere tech to help in the shop when they're busy

I actually went to school to get my aircraft A&P license (aircraft mechanic) right out of highschool, started a month before the twin towers got hit, and the airlines started laying off, i decided i was going to go ahead and finish school. About a month before i got out i was talking to some people, and they said i should go apply for the IUEC cause they would like my schooling that i had been through. So i did, it was about a 6 month process getting hired on, but when i finally got an interview with the union, i was called in to work the next day and had to go through a 4 year apprenticeship.

I wish the airline industry wouldnt have took a fall like it did, i really enjoy airplanes, and everything about them. But i enjoy my job now quite a bit, elevators are pretty interesting themselves, and you learn somthing new everyday. Ive been in the trade for 6 years exactly this month.

That's cool Rob. Worked in the air wing side of the Corps my whole time in so I get the plane fascination and A&P stuff. If I wasn't color blind id be a mechanic on our aircraft but since the USMC won't let me do that I chose Intelligence. Which sure is interesting on deployment...just boring in the States :rofl: But the clearance/9 years exp. Ill have should hold weight if I get out this time

I run a large dairy farm with my family. We milk 850 Jersey Cows(dry/milking). Raise 400 Jersey steers, and have about 500-600 replacement heifers. We run around 1000 acres, but our harvest equipment runs across about 1800-2000. We do a little bit of custom harvesting, I would like to get into more of it, but we need to get things settled down a little bit right now before that. In the winter we do some snow removal but are looking into purchasing a snowblower for the front of one of our tractors and contracting with the city and county to move snow for them with it.

I work on trucks on the side for some extra dollars and because I like doing it.

I own a small business, I have amusement equipment for rent and also lighting, sound, and staging...I pretty much live at festivals and stuff around here. My family owned a rental company and To let me make extra money to pay for my trucks when they break they gave me a space jump to rent, that turned into 23 and slides rock climbing walls and chit like that... Business sucked a little while back but this past year has tremendously picked up.

Civil Engineer emphasis on Solid Waste. Yep, I have a trashy job. :rofl: Pun intended. We do design, construction QC, permitting, applications, gas system design & const. qc on that as well.

The firm I work at also does water line engineering - drinking and sewer, treatment plant engineer - drinking and sewer, water sampling, as well as Air Emissions engineering and sampling.

It can be an interesting job at times. Certainly not something people think about all the time.
