Im a Univ. of Dayton co-op at GE Aircraft Engines in Cincy doing grunt work for the project manager. My other co-op job (during the year) is J2EE programming for a GEAE subsidiary (sp?). They're both great jobs for a college kid.

I'm a high school teacher : 10th grade biology, 11-12th grade honors anatomy and physiology and 11-12th grade biotechnology. Yeah, I'm corrupting the youth of America, and proud of it! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
As for "supporting my habit," I have a second job at Howard Community College, where I'm an adjunct professor teaching anatomy and physiology lecture and lab. I call that one my "Hoosier job," 'cause I took it so that I could afford Hoosiers.

Electrical Engineer for the Federal Government. I design electronic circuitry used in aircraft test stands. The test stands are used to debug and verify the flight programs for the F-16 fighter jets. I've been doing this for almost 20 years now, but before that I worked for Thiokol Corp. as an Electronics Tech while earning my engineering degree. At Thiokol I repaired and rebuilt electronic control systems after rocket motor propellant mixing buildings got blown up!

Rob, I am surprised by how many performance car enthusiasts also like reptiles! You are right, it is a lot of fun! I also like the creative aspect of having an e-based business. It is really rewarding to see your idea turn into money, and equally as dissappointing to see your idea turn into a bust.
With the geckos, it is always Comedy Central. They are some of the funniest creatures on the earth! They have the ability to vocalize (part of what makes a gecko) and right now there is a lot of that going on with the mating season going full blast! Then there is the reaction to my geckos from other people, (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) When I go to the grocery store and purchase fruit babyfood for some of them often I get asked "How is the baby doing?" I reply "The little green children are doing just fine!" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

Nursery Growing Gounds Superviser/Manager "The Boss".
18 employees (that drive me nuts,well some).After I decided City work was too boring working with people who just want to screw off and waste tax payers money I moved on. Then I was hired by a multi-divisional industry that has a Reno NV. based retail nursery.To grow their product at their California(Redding) location where they had just purchased 100 acres for the purpose of being self sufficiant.And better grow conditions,and cheap land to boot. I started to build and run the growing grounds for them 5.5 yrs. ago.I have grown it to 33 developed and irrigated acres presently.With long rows after rows of trees to vast shrub fields,entire areas of just flowers beaming at you all gridded with roadways. The last inventory showed a bit over 4 million in nursery stock.Everything from small bedding plants and veggies in my 4- 30'x100' green houses,1gallon perennials to all sizes of trees 5gallon to 30 gallon size. I have on an annual basis 6,800 rose bushes bareroot put into cans.And raised there, I have won many 1st prizes for my roses,Better homes,rose society and such with them over the yrs. I see/load (well my people do) approx. 2.5 -48' tractor trailer rigs a week completely stuffed to Reno.Where not just plants for the nursery are on there we have Landscape installation crews doing everything from peoples front yards to public works projects and housing development to provide for also. Multi tasking is a must and planning is everything approached w/ drive and ambition (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) there is lots to do and oversee. My Quad gets a work out (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Chances are if you have been to Reno you have seen my plants Everywhere you look.I don't see myself ever leaving this venture,it is my baby I created it.I am paid very well my future is takin care of and I enjoy being "The Boss". I think I might have control issues Julie (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Tony |

Project manager with an architectural firm. Currently lending a hand to the Phoenix Civic Center expansion team. Hoping to be kicked loose soon on the Tucson airport expansion. It may sound glamorous but it doesn't support the habit.

I operate SMT placement machines for a large Industrial Automation supplier (aka a button pusher). Been there almost 7 years (since i was 18). I have an AAS in EET and very recently started on a BS in Mech E, but that may change to Industrial Manufacturing Engineering if Mech E starts to get too tough. I'm only 25, but i've been out of school long enough to lose the necessary academic skills to be able to get by while working full time.
I wouldnt have any money for the car/driving if I still didnt live at home, need to milk that as much as I can. Miki |

I am a pee-on at a Ford dealership, and a Junior in college. I'm quitting the dealership to work at the speedway next semester part time (as a flagger).

To add to the rest of the engineers here... I'm a mechanical engineering student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I used to work as a CAD operator for a small place that builds explosion proof forklifts, (I never drove them so I can't use that as an excuse for my driving). My first go at college was at GMI in Michigan where I was first introduced to autocrossing by the school’s car club. Maybe one day I’ll actually finish my education, I’m supposed to be done by December of 2005. In the meantime I’m working with a general contractor.
