What do you do for a living?

[cico7]

I sell insurance. But you don't want to buy from me. I dont write life and health, I dont want to write auto and home owners insurance, and most policies I write start at $5000 a year. I specialize in amusement rides, bars and used car dealers. I told my attorney he should find someone other than me to write his auto and home insurance. But he said no.

Other than me, who is self employed/unemployed?
When I talk about past jobs, employed by someone else, I usually say"When I had a job".
Self employed/unemployed are almost the same to me.

I'm just a dumb tech (to steal doc's saying). But for me it's pretty true. ASE master certifed and currently working on Mercedes at a local stealership. Before this I was
managing a shop called Frank Racing and building late model Hemi cars and trucks. Prior to that I worked for Hennessey Performance where I was just referred to as the hemi tech. I did however get to spin wrenches on some Vipers, ford gt's, prowlers, and porches before I left. I own a small business which does some pArts sales in my spare time and have plans on opening a shop in the next few years.

Maybe I just need to go to work for Doc to get some learnin on how to properly run a business and how to fabricate.

Glad to be a part of a community of great Jeep owners here.

I'm working for Fokker Aerostructures. This is a Dutch company making airplane parts for almost every major aircraft manufacturer. We make parts for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, Gulfstream, NH Industries, Dassault, Bombardier and more. For more than seven years now I've been relocated as a Manufacturing Engineer at our US customers during the design en development phases of new aircraft (re)design. My main task is checking produceability and developing manufacturing strategies for detail parts to final structure assemblies made out of aluminum, titanium and composites (mainly carbon fiber part).
I've worked five years at Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, TX on the F-35 and now for over two years at Boeing in Mesa, AZ on the AH-64 Apache.
Before my relocation I was a Production Engineer for sweveral other programs at our facilities in the Netherlands.

Holy crap! Lots of great people with great careers! Mine seems so blah in comparison but I love it. Got a Army civilian job with the federal government for JMTC on the Rock Island Arsenal just over 3 years ago. Basically warehousing and shipping. I've had my hand on lots of stuff going to our soldiers over in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm currently on a detail in our weld shop as an Expediter and I help get the Gunner Protection Kits for HMMVV's and other armor through our factory and to the guys and gals keeping us safe.

Sure it's a ho-hum job but I never served in the military so this is my way of helping out.

That's more than a part time job! Actually I let mine take care of themselves - the algea feeds the fish, the fish feed the algea, repeat - circle of life.
