Hubby is an AF Vet who works for a tire manufacturer and I am a contracts & sales coordinator through a waste company! We now have an empty nest so we decided it was time to have some FUN!

Gov't Employee. Audiologist. Bought my 1st Car in 2003 and paid in full. It's on its last legs now so I've been saving for the last two years for this one.

Engineer for a company that makes the sensor that does screen rotation and tap function on your smart phone, as well as sensors for automotive stability control.

After 35 years of working in a Refinery for both AMOCO and BP, I "retired", took the lump sump payout, invested it, and went to work for a contractor in Process Safety leading HAZOP/LOPA Studies. The pay is phenominal, but it took me a long time to get there. I bought my first camaro last year and I am 58 years old. I finally attained the station of life to afford my dream car and even though it is a used 2010, the sucker is beautiful and catches looks everywhere I go. I think they hear it first cause it is a road rumbler, then they see it!!

I'm 20 and been an automotive technician at a Chevrolet dealer for 2 1/2 years its a little easier when you get somewhat of a discount.

So I see you changed careers from what you originally were looking into right? What made you change to CM?

I am 27, I am a project manager for a telecommunications company. I was managing IT projects and handling VoIP deployments but now handling Wireless Communications (LTE, GSM, 3G, 4G).

I'm the Asst. Superintendent at the local wastewater treatment plant. I've been in the business for over thirty years. These facilities are becoming so advanced and automated I can invision the need for hiring full time IT personal coming much sooner than later. If you would like to see a short video about our facility try this link:

I was 21 when I first bought my Camaro SS. I never went to college for a career though. I work In a school district. So I recommend looking for a government job. Working for the city, or maybe learning a trade.

GuitarJozz · 03-14-2013, 05:47 PM

I am 24, and I have a great job! I work 11pm to 7am. Nights. I basically am a machine all night where I work, which is at a hot dog and hamburger bun bakery production plant. I stand pretty much in one spot all night and pack the rolls and buns into trays. It's awesome and fun! Oh, and there is no air conditioning except the break room and offices. 110 degrees, even at night on the production floor.

As you could probably figure out, I hate my job. Got sucked in there because of my dad, who worked in that place for about 35 years. The pay is good, he said. It's not so bad, he said.....

I'm at the point where I'd rather have a job at a grocery store stocking shelves than working where I do now, even if it meant I'd take a $5-10 pay cut. But then I probably won't be able to afford my Camaro payments, lol. I'm in a bit of a pickle I guess. I'm learning the hard way, that which has been mentioned many times in this thread. Choose something you love as your career, otherwise you'll end up like me....
