I have my own business... "Prosperity Visual Productions" a nice little party entertainment company, but with lots of side ventures involved. I shoot and edit (non-linier on a Mac g4) and I do enough sketches and drawings for Dark Age of Camelot to keep myself in gas money.

I work in Tool & Die,
I make automotive punch press dies.
Last die i helped make was a fuel door die, you guys truly have NO IDEA how much effort is spent making the dies that stamp 0.100" steel to make such a simple looking part such as what makes up a fuel door - all the little parts in there. there are so many dies that is made for just one car!
the most expensive die i saw we had was worth $100,000 (Canadian)!!!
and its only good for 5 years!!
its quite something to be a part of when you first square up stock steel to make one part.
we use different types of steel such as:
A2,D2, Mild steel, 4140, 01 ,
and Bronze.
- machine , CNC
- Drill ,Tap,Counterbore,ream
- heat treat
- Hone dowl holes
- Grind
- assemble
- press try-out
- during the summer one of the guys working on the 10 ton press got half his hand CUT OFF!!!
now he only has part of his thumb(right hand) and no fingers at all!!
my job is really dangerous, and i could seriously injure myself or my co-workers if not carefull.

for you who cant picture what a DIE is, ill try and paint a picture here:
*it usually weighs thousands of pounds
*it is make up of 4 main parts
*all about 8 feet in length, 3 feet high, about 3 feet in width (not all are this length, but the last one i worked on was)
*its basicly one big cookie cutter!!

I work 12 hours a day (all on my feet- no sitting down)
4 days a week - night shift

*sigh* im tired! LOL

 

I am a manager/foreman in a small printing shop. We print flyers / annaul reports / insurance crap. Not very exciting but it's a trade and allows me to work anywhere.

 

I sell computers at Best Buy making enough money to go to North Lake Community College and to pay for my car.

I'm really hoping to get a promotion to at least senior before I finish college.
