Not bad for a 19 year old wink1.gif I love my job. But you get the stupid ass teachers who... nevermind...

 

Aircraft Armament Systems in the United States Air Force.

In short, I load weapons on fighters and/or bombers. I like my job but theres nothing I can do in the civvy world... Oh well...

I just wish that I had set hours and got paid a little more...

 

Im sure a lot of you will laugh but I currently work at McDonalds and have for the past 2 years. Im only 17 and in September when I turn 18 Im going to be managing and that actually make decent money. Over teh summer I will also be working for a place called Grand Builders doing painting and tiling in houses

 

Medical Tech Driver, which basically means I'm a certified drug runner. I deliver all the high end drugs and narcotics to nursing homes. At least for another month until we're bought out and I get that oh so lovely severence check. rolleyes.gif

 

Yeah, I love the store... but I hate working for them. I just need money, so whatever works.

And I'm in college full time with 5 classes. Over here, full time is 12+ credits.. and currently I have 16 for this semester. I was going for web support, which was web design and networking, but I gave it up. It got boring. Now I'm trying to get into a veterinary technician school.

I wish I could make good money like you. There is just really no jobs available that will hire without experience. Everyone wants you to have a degree or experience, so I'm SOL. Even if I have experience, they want it in writing from another job. :\

 

Student Athletic Trainer for Rutgers University anddd i tutor on the side.

 

Yeah 0.020" is easy, but at the same time we are leaving + 0.020" for finish grinding.
So when I was in the Grinding dept. I would get pissed when the milling dept. leaves more than
20 thou', sucks ass when you have to "side wheel grind" more than 0.010",... tends to heat up the steel way too much if your not careful, and can shrink about 1 thou under your finish size.
When i'm milling Cams, and Forms, I try to be within a couple thou,(still keeping the 0.020" tolerance) even though I am able to be very acurate
on our mills. They all have Digital read-outs of course wink1.gif

We use "first" mills, "bridgeport" mills, and we even have a "ProStar" mill that is so tall I swear it was made for Shaq O'Neal! lol

 

Bump, what nobody has any questions about what people do for a living??

Brutal~!
no automotive tool maker questions?? LOL

who do you think made the Car you are driving anyway!!?? LOL

are there nobody here the works a CNC machine?

 

Yep same here, full time but with only 13 credits. Enough for me though.

As for me, I'm a fitness technician at a small women's fitness club. Pay is eh but it keeps me going for now. I don't do anything there either, so who am I to complain. Plus I don't work that much at all which means I have more time for school. For the summer I'll be working as a temp in offices etc. to make extra money.

 

For a year I worked at a local grocery store and moved up the ranks pretty fast. Started out bagging (1 month), then I moved to stocker (4 months), then I started helping out in floral and produce (2 month) and now I'm night crew which sucks schedule0wise but makes some kick-ass money. Been working 6pm - 3am or 11pm -8am for the past 5 months. And after 10pm it's an extra .50 for every hour worked. But now I'm re-fueling planes at a small airport and working the desk at a flight school. It's a real small airport (not even a tower) but it's really fun and is always a great experience every day. I even hang out after work and meet old weirdo's with 200,000 dollar 4 seater planes that are going to Oregon or California for a quick stop and they're like "wanna go?" Hell yeah I do, free ride and experience too. It's funny talking with co-workers that own planes. They're like:

"so what are you doing after work?"

Me: I have no plans, probably go eat

"wanna go to lunch?"

Me: sure

"where do you wanna go?........portland? Everett? Ellensburg? Seattle? Bellingham?

And I'm sitting here bugged eyed expecting something like "Subway or Thai Food down the street" but no it's like wanna go cross state real fast?

It's awesome, I love it....except for the no medical benifts whatsoever.
