Parts Advisor, Toyota Dealership

It pays adequately, I'm on salary so there is no hourly wage. The employee price discount is nice.

I used to do web development full time and then part time, and now whenever I feel like it but not all that often.


I don't think I'll stay at Toyota forever, I'll likely go back to school for some sort of University degree in a couple years, but I want to finish my AE86 restoration while I can still get staff discounts, and body shop discounts, and other discounts, haha.

I design waste water treatment plants and do general drafting for a very large engineering design company. Pay is nice, more than adequate, and it's a nice place to work with nice people.

It's not really what I want to do forever, I have a background in mechanical engineering and I want something based more in small parts design, like engines and stuff. Working for an engineering design firm is a job filled with endless mountains of political bullshit and deskjockey egos.

I'm a Service Manager at an independant shop in Oakland, CA. I make about $47,000 per year, which is NOTHING in the Bay Area. If I made the same amount in Oklahoma (where I'm from) I'd be pretty well off.

Such is life.

Automotive engineering and management student. It's basically Mechanical engineering with some auto courses and a business year. 5 years total. I'm looking into internships and relative summer employment for this summer.

To pay for this years school and car parts I worked for my uncles landscaping company on some millionaire houses. It payed well ($15/hr and 65+ hrs per week) and it was the best exercise I have ever had. Like a job and gym membership all in one. lol In the 9 weeks I worked there I made over $9000.

I am a Captain for a large regional airline.

Pay is good, but the main perks are lots of time off, and I don't feel like I have a job, more like a hobby with a good paycheck!!!

I think this has been done before?

Forensic Computer Expert. Recently I have been helping rid the world of Child Predators.

Pay is good when I can get a case. Lawyers are still learning about this new industry.
This month has been good. Last month not so good :(. I figure about 6 months to 1 more year and I will have a good flow of cases. :)

I also used to make SM stickers at cost, and currently am doing photo enlargemnts for basicly no money.. If the big printer was not a hobbie I would kill myself..
