At this point...as long as it pays enough...I'm willing to move. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Thanks for the link, but I think I'm going to have to look for something in the Engineering and Production field. |

QUOTE (Absolut Speed @ Dec 25 2003, 11:40 PM) Yeesh, what, are 5% of us NOT engineers?! I work in City gov't. I do a bit of everything; budgeting, and more budgeting, cable channel coordination, union negotiations, web content updates, policy research, liaison with community groups and other gov'ts. My masters degree is in public administration, and this job is the launching pad to becoming a city manager. I also have a Master's in Public Administration. You are now the first person other than myself I've meet that is into Government and F-bodies, LOL. |

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.

I'm a structural steel detailer. I work for a steel fabriactor. A general contractor sends us plans for a new building, school, shopping center, etc. and we detail (draw, model, whatever you want to call it) the structural beams, columns, channels, etc that make up the framework of the building. Basically we draw and then fabricate the skeleton of a building.
Been auto-xing for about 5 years with the Texas A&M Sports Car Club. Just recently upgraded to my '01 Z28. This site seems like it's got a good start. Hoping to gather a lot of useful knowledge.... |

I'm another Boeing-ite. I work in the system test lab for Connexion by Boeing, the company that's making broadband Internet access in flight a reality. Commercial service starts this March on Lufthansa German Airlines, followed by Scandinavian Airlines, Japan Air Lines, All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines later in 2004 and 2005.
I love my job- my group and the Flight Test guys get to play with all the cool toys. We even have our own "flying testbed" 737: (IMG:http://boeingmedia.com/boeingmedia/img/R25h/R25hs.jpg) I hear you guys on the single-income-family thing. We are expecting our first in March, and my wife will be a stay-at-home mom. That means NO money for racing in the normal family budget, so I have to sell my Firebird to finance the 2004 season. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Might have to give up racing for a while. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I own a printshop in a north Dallas suburb called Carrollton. I started printing as a press operator 16 years ago. I have been self employeed for 7 years this Feb. Being self employeed may not be for everyone but I can honestly say that I will NEVER work for someone else as long as I have a say in it!
My wife is a stay at home mom with our 11 year old daughter. She is an avid Nascar fan so we have a great relationship when it comes to my "nasty little habit". (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It makes this whole racing thing alot easier when the wife understands. Or can even get interested in it. My wife LOVES to autox. What I do for a "living" is a mix of what TxAgZ28 does and what a construction machinery operater may do. Basically since I have been in the work force I have been working in shipping. From UPS and FedEx packaging/invoicing and shipping to over the road tractor trailer crates. Sometime built inside the trailer. I currently work for a Marine company and ship boat loads of fun each day (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Actually just tractor trailer loads of Pontoon and Fiberglass sport/deck boats. I'm gonna start using the excuse 'since I drive around a deisel powered 60,000lb fork truck all day it effects my driving' Yeah thats it. thats why I am so bad... BTW I just broke my own policy don't talk about work! My wife and I don't even talk about work. |

I work in Supplier Development for a manufacturing company. My youngest has one more semester to go for his BA, so that will free up more funds for the toys.
Last year's big spend was the trailer, but I don't regret that a bit. I try to keep some restraint on the drain of $$ into the car, but you all know how that goes. Provided I don't damage the motor over the summer, next winter's project is a 396. Just trying to squeak out a few more ponies from the stock engine for this years campaign. My wife doesn't mind my "habit", although she is no enthusiast of going fast. She rode with me on one autox run last year and was scared to death. Won't be riding again. She has her own business and works some long hours. She'd rather I was in the garage playing with my toys as opposed to other places I could be. |

The problem is that my habit is not funded too well. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
But I am an IS manager for a folding carton manufacturer. We have three plants and I am the only on site IS guy for all three plants. |

Mechanical Engineer- I've worked in both the aerospace and medical device fields. Launched rockets and built life saving equipment. I'm looking forward to becoming self-employed, I'm getting tired of working for "the man."
My wife is a "stay at home mom" during the days, full-time student during the evenings. So, that means I take care of all three kids ages 1, 3 and 11 every night buy myself. |

Just wondering (other than being racers (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) what everyone's profession is. I am a senior at USF (University of South Florida), majoring in civil engineering. I also work part time as an intern at an engineering firm. Thanks.

I am a network engineer at a wireless company. That is a fancy way of saying computer geek. I am basically a UNIX admin whose primary responsibilities are storage, backups, Oracle, Remedy, VCS, and some internal homegrown apps.
