My respect for you just went up 150%...I was too into "what does the world owe me" when I was young to consider "losing" time in the military...I now do small stuff in the local community and give to Veterans' charities to soothe my guilt for not serving a little for my country...and, no, I was doing this BEFORE 9/11....

 

well thanks to NY state, 1/2 my federal refund is going to pay my state taxes

<grr>
forkers.

Anyways, I've always loved technology, from blinking lights to whirring motors, so it's easy to understand why I love the rotary so much. Elegant solutions for nasty problems impress me so much more than kludges that people piece together.

Ok, I have to say I didn't think this post would be so good. But then I see it as being very beneficial because now if anyone has any probs you can reference who to bug about it.

 

Wow...Some of you guys are pretty big nerds! Just kidding...It's guys like you who help computer stupid people like me function in our ever changing technological universe!

im 20 and im a contractor, and im a amateur breakologist didnt want to be but seems to happen alot lately i want to get my ccna so i can sit behind a desk and snoop at peoples email but its so much freaking $ to get into the classes. in my spare time i free base coke out of my trailer too pays the bills

 

I'm a apprentice technician for Merchant's Tire and Auto... It's an east coast chain of shops.

I am currently in college, studying for my Associates degree in Network Engineering/Administration. I thought just outta high school ,I could get a good job like some of my friends.. but I guess not. That A+ and computer repair experience failed me.. no jobs.. Computers are cheap enough that if they break down afterh teh warranty is over.. toss em and get new ones.

So after the degree, if the IT industry fails me again... I'll get my ASE and become a full fledged mechanic.

I've also been an apprentice electrician.

I don't much like working with people and customer service... The customers that come to me always tend to be ********.

 

Thanks for the good word. Its kinda cool Ive been to about 25 different countries and gotten paid for it all. Has the down side to it, (Crouched against a brick wall with rounds popping off it 2 feet above your head) but all in al I wouldn't trade my time in for anything.

Im still in high school taking engineering classes. I have a prt-time job at Party City.

 

I'm 19 just out of high school a couple years back. I work for time warner cable company. I grew up around rotaries. I've had 1 r100, 3 first gens, and 2 second gen. I currently own an '84 and an '88 Turbo 2.

 

turning 31 in April (how the F@$k did that happen?) work as a Technical Support Specialist for the CAA (the auto club) I get to test/teach all the new technology for dispatch systems (GPS, wireless devices, new '1X' phones, etc) they send me all over the place to check out and report on new technology for the company. i don't have a lot of spare time, but always find a way to connect to the forum from wherever i am!! (it's a sickness!)

 

I'm 22 and I work as a baker at Tim Hortons (a BIG coffe and donut chain in Canada and parts of the US), and I'm an Architecture Student...

Full time father....that's the hardest most thankless job there is....j/k.

 

haha gump. I took teh EET course in Calgary here @ DeVry. The recruiting officer told me that devry had mech eng.... so i went there because of the 3yr instead of 4yr program.. BIG mistake.. DEVRY is **** here in canada. It isnt recognized by anyone, and is ******* expensive. Needless to say, it wasnt what I wanted, blew $5,000 in one month, and left. Worked for a year.. I'm a job ****, hard worker, never been fired, always upgrading to the next job. I've had my own lawn mowing biz from 8yrs old - 13.. shingled houses wit my dad, done framing carpentry, construction, yard work, gas jockey for 2 yrs in HS, been a painter, a part time electrician's apprentice, refereed recreational hockey as well as played, trucking grain, farming, part time mechanic, drove a forklift in a Scott Paper warehouse for a yr, worked in a car audio store, worked at Crappy tire, worked @ UPS, im sure I havent named half of em. A lot of different trades, etc. I guess a jack of all trades, master of none.. cept ************ :P.. I am currently in engineering in university. This summer I will either go work on the oil rigs or, work road construction. Either or will be at least 68hrs a wk. I love my 7, know a lot about it, put a lot of time into it, also my dirt bike, and am an avid sledder (snowmobiling). Watersports are also great, and I guess I am pretty easy going. Nothing beats the freedom and nirvana of being on a sled in minus 12C weather, clear skies, fresh powder, sun shining and cracking open the throttle hitting 3 digit mph's on a sled. My roommate has an FD, and thinks I am a manwhore. I like to think I am not.. altho I love being single, and having multiple "friends with benefits" girls. Your only young once.. live it up! 19yrs old, I turn 20 in May.

 

Hey what up... I work at LORDCO Autoparts..... I am also a residential Care Aid and I used to be a Pro-stereo installer.. well i guess I still am I just dont do it for a living anymore( the **** sure comes in handy )

Another post from the dead. I thought I responded to this one but I don't see my post, so maybe there's a parallel post out there somewhere. Anyway, it's an interesting question. Me, I'm another biology teacher, specializing in biochem, microbiology, immunology and rx-7 repair.

Just back from Iraq here... I've seen enough of the soldier thing, so I'm back in school to finish up Mechanical Engineering. Hope to have a really cool job soon, though....

 

I am in Industrial Automation.

I do front line technical support for Omron Industrial electronics.

I am a Linux nut. I sue it every chance I can.

The trend that seems to show up is that technically minded people know an unique/great thing when they see it.

 

karism----the plant i work at extrudes polysolfoam, pexalene, polypropalene, ect... Pretty interesting stuff huh...i hate the way i smell when i go home...

 

I'm 31 (or is that 32), I work in the Technical support department for Purolator Courrier Ltd, and bought my 85 gs last year.

I think I was 16 and pumping gas at my uncle's garage when Isaw my first RX7, it was then that I knew that all other cars pale in comparison to the 7.
