mobythevan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Blueoval, that explains the tesla coil I'm a EE and have been lucky enough to be at the same fun and challenging job for 9 years. Over the last two years I have helped my wife to build a horse training/boarding business that is really doing well(helped by investing in her schooling and facilities). I am hoping to start working with her full time in the next few years. Right now I have another metal buidling kit on order to expand her capacity. If things continue like they have for the last two years she is going to make my income seem like a hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blairjj Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Big Phil, My kids (9 and 4) think that your job is the best one so far. They could eat their body weight in Goldfish, if my wife and I would let them. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8_DatZun Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm in the industrial hvac field for a division of Lenoxx International. build large air cooled condensors but i just got promoted (guess you'd call it lol just means more work) to a new job Utility Pool. fill in for anyone in the plant that is out because i pretty much know everything.. they say i've learned more in 5 years than people thats been with the plant 20+ years lol.. its not the BEST job.. but i learned some cool stuff like wiring and brazing and just general assembly.. guess the thing i learned that has been the most helpful is thinking on my toes.. learning to adapt to changes and i guess just alot of common sense (if you are one to believe that you can learn common sense lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogriz91 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 JSTARS? Get in touch with General Dynamics IT and check out their job listings. We cover the JSTARS system. I assume of course you already have a TS-SCI so getting a job with GD would be easy. I might have to exercise that option. Right now I want to go back to Western Montana and get away from the military but I may change my tune when my oldest gets out of HS. If I did stay in DOD I would want to get back into Missile Defense. I spent 2 years in Japan working on MD with the Japanese and space/missile technology proliferation is the future.

tcufrogz76 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Im yet another mechanical engineer! I work in a paper mill thats been in the same location since 1893! People used to tie the horse they road to work on, right where I park my Z... Believe me, not much of anything machinery related has changed since the day this place opened. You walk in, look around and its like stepping back in time. Not to mention most of the operators still look and behave like cavemen..hehe My signature is actually the very words a mechanic told me on my first day there! The fact that we are a union shop and paid thusly is the only thing keeping me there..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also worked in a plastic injection molding plant, and was a jaguar/land rover mech for a year or so. Current job is great but long hours are getting old.
