Work now in a dream restaurant as a server. Best job of my life. Can't wait to go back to work every day!
I don't know Masked Marvel, but the restaurant where he works (1618) is the best around. My wife and I drive 45 minutes to eat there, and it's one of the only places we eat out anymore. Anyone in the Triad area of NC, I would recommend it.
Past jobs: Pizza guy, Forklift operator for boat dry storage marina, commerical fishermen, fish cleaner at seafood joint in Tallahassee and construction (mostly replacement windows, siding and sunrooms)
Radiology Technologist and I dabble in PACS administration. Probably heading back to school soon to move on to a different career. My fiance is a Psychologist, so I save money there :)
I was a professional meat cutter in the mid to late 1960's, worked for several chain stores and independents, as well as the local slaughter house. Then went into business with my in-laws in the saw mill and lumber business. Added hardware and building materials to the lumber and became Ace Hardware dealers in the early 1970's. Eventually had 5 Ace stores and 2 garden centers, now am retired from the retail business, but still manage our commercial and residential properties.
Mechanical Engineering Degree: when you want potential employers to know that you're pretty good at looking stuff up in handbooks.
So using this on my brother in-law! Thanks
heh... actually, you can say what 1 of my ME professors used to say: you only need to know 2 things to be a mechanical engineer:
F = m*a
You can't push a rope!!
hehehehe... :D
Or, on the other side, you have this: "What's the difference between civil and mechanical engineers? Mechanical engineers build weapons -- civil engineers build targets!!!" =))
In all seriousness, I really enjoy what I do - I get to design something different each project, so I'm never bored - and especially w/ all the CAD tools they have nowadays - to me, I refer to it as "Technical Artistry" - meaning, I get to use the creative side of my brain for the designing portion, but also the technical (engineer) side for the dimensions, clearances, materials, fit / finish, etc... to me it's the best of both worlds!!
Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee
fishlessman - you can't post all those cool pics w/out also 'splaining what they are!!!! :-B
