I don't know if this was posted already.So I was just wanted to see what everybody does for a living to afford the schweet rides that everybody has?

Let me start of.

I'm currently a military plumber, but at the moment I work for a shop that takes care of wells, liftstations, the pool and all water and sewer lines including fire hydrants and fire suppresion systems. I've been in this career field for 7 years now.

I listen to music, chat on AIM, and surf the web all day.

Actually, I do AutoCAD and IT for an Land Surveying company.

Nice!

MidgetBrawl · 03-22-2005, 03:08 AM

I'm a full time bookkeeper for Shoprite in Hamilton, NJ. As far as jobs within the company go, it's not too shabby. . . .but I could think of a hundred things I'd rather do. . . unfortunately they all require "training" and "certification"

I just want a job that'll give me weekends off (no chance in hell at shoprite) and maybe thursday nights off for RR meets. . . and that pays enough money to mod my car.

Any contracts with Picatinny???

97TSi · 03-22-2005, 12:53 PM

Not that I know of. Of course, I'm not really involved in any of that. I do mostly machine design for the plant and all.
I do know some people who co-op'd for jobs there and they said it was nuts testing some stuff

1988 Olds · 03-22-2005, 02:07 PM

Cashier at Pathmark, and a full-time college student at Temple Univeriste. Going for a Bach. in Mechanical Engineering.

TrboChicsRock · 03-22-2005, 02:23 PM

I don't do anything for a "leaving" lol. I used to be an Office Manager for a doctors office... but I've decided that I need to get away from desk jobs... so I dont know what I'm going to do now. I applied to work 2 nights a week as a shot girl at a club/bar here in Ortley Beach and I think I'm going to take bartending classes and go from there.

Fantayzias · 03-22-2005, 02:27 PM

Bartending classes are a waste of time and money. Better off just applying at places and hope they'll hire you.
