What is your major or occupation? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

GeforceXtreme · 02-20-2006, 05:18 AM

I am interested to see what people's college majors are, or current job occupations.

Currently, my major is Computer Network Administration. Right now, I run kind of a small computer network/repair bussiness. I mainly upgrade and repair home basied computer systems, but once in awhile I have to deal with small bussines computer networks. I hope once I am done with college, and when I have more money saved away, I can startup my own little bussiness. However I have always had a strong urge with working and repairing cars. I like to somehow bring both together. Possibly creating the first operating system based automotive computer controller? In which you could connect to the internet, and download updates to your current cars setup, and get like a 50hp increase with just a push of a button.. that be pretty cool. I bet they have stuff like that now.. but expensive I would have to say.

Architecture major, The only reason I'm still awake at this hour. I also work at a pinball store doing numerous odd jobs.

Right now I am majoring in Copoarte Communications and hope to be able to do something that involves my love of the NHRA or Nascar. If not I will do whatever I can get good money for out there. When it's spring to fall I have a little landscaping business as well and work for someone who sells plants, mulch and other things.

joe tom · 02-20-2006, 09:35 AM

Majoring in Music Recording Technology.

92dxman · 02-20-2006, 10:00 AM

Majoring in film and video with the plan to switch to audio production once I transfer. I donate plasma, pickup jobs off Craigslist, housesit, sub paper route to put the green stuff in my pocket.

cburwell · 02-20-2006, 10:21 AM

I have a few jobs. One I work in a photo lab, and the other I demonstrate and train people on various electronic products (notebooks, TVs, Home Theater, etc), but that is strictly on the weekends.

I am going to school and majoring in IST. I hope to do something with networking for a corporate company when I graduate. I would also like to pick up a part tme job in this field as well in the mean time!

Journalism major, right now on track for pre-law but not sure if I'll pull through. Dream goal with journalism is editor for a major automotive publication, but that would take some luck to get my foot in the door.

No, Simpson's pinball rocks!

Back ot.... I operate a swimming pool service company. I open pools in the spring time and close them up in fall, install new pumps, filters, heaters, and my favorite- custom pool covers on really crazy shaped pools.

It's a fun job. Not the porn movie that everyone thinks it is, but it is fun.

I work at a Toyota dealership as a tech. I do NOT <3 Camrys.
