Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have.
I work at a Nuke Power Plant in a Overview organization. It's more than just your average QA/QC organization. I produce video and multi-media presentations for employee training and information Been doing this for 22 years. |

well i work here www.speedhound.com restoring, modifying, and repairing corvettes. this includes super charging some C5s, building some wicked C4s, and turning a C3 into a show car. that was done just this year with many simple things in between.
i have a small part of a mechanical engineering degree from UGA. I may go back one day, but right now I'm 23 and love what I'm doing so i won't be going back anytime soon. I do have a machining diploma from a local tech college. loved that, but never had any intentions of being in production machining. something about standing in front of a computer controlled machine watching it work for 12 hours a day just doesn't do it for me. i stay really busy with the customers cars and our new C4 show/ project car(look for it in corvette fever soon), so its not the money its the time i don't have.
