23 and a student at the University of Saskatchewan. I'm studying psychology and hope to get into law school in the next year or two. Job-wise I'm a front desk guy at the local Ramada Hotel and also a cashier for the City of Saskatoon.
I don't know jack about cars, except what I learned working on the 7.

You got me on that one, Mar, I don't have a clue what you're talking about, but now I'm curious - what's a DoO corner and a YZR-F1, in combat mode? Are they job related? People who drive 1st generation RX-7s sure are an interesting lot.
19 done with school. Taking a little time off to save money and work and so on. Planning on getting into engineering with computers and i am a huge computer freak... broke down and bought a crazy amd fx-51 system.... Work full time at NAPA driving delivering parts. It pays my bills for now. This also freedom to get my car worked on where ever/deals for cheap.
I'm 31, currently grabbing a degree, but I'm well-versed in graphic design. Current job title would be Senior Creative Director were I so employed.
I've been an Apple technician and salesperson as well as managed both full-service and fast-service restaurants.
Jack of all trades, master of quite a few

I have degrees in Electrical Engineering Technology and Electromechanical Engineering Technology. Earned those in '96 and left Univ. in '98 after I ran out of funding to pay for my BS (paid for school mostly out of my pocket and loans). Been working since then and have work as a Systems Technician for MobileComm (second largest paging company before being bought out by Arch), Electrical Engineering Technician for one of the best Pharmaceutical Consulting firms (that job was a blast!) in the US (we had some overseas consulting jobs too), a prison guard for the State of Missouri for about two months (got along with the inmates, hated the staff), and currently a Technical Support Specialist in the MIS department for a Souteast Missouri drug and alcohol abuse facility where I travel around SE MO to there different offices fixing computers, networks, and software. I've also started going back to school again to finish up a BS (may turn into an MS) in Electrical Engineering with either the electromag, sig. proc. or quantum/optical electronics option. I also maintain my own website http://milisake.com and http://highline-racing.org plus the photo gallery in my sig. I build computers and answer questions from people that know I work with computers in my spare time, tinker with electronics and radios (licensed amateur radio operator), and of course work on my cars. Current projects are over-the-horizon laser communications and installing a dual sidedraft carb setup on my '83 GSL, 12A. Boy, that was a long post!
Mild mannered Checker Auto Parts manager during the day - Ebay Powerseller at night.
Its great, since the jobs go hand in hand - I always find new ebay customers through work, and make lots of local 7 connections for parts and cars.

I am an automotive engineer (generic term) working for Dinan Engineering, Inc. (The BMW Tuner). I am the companies lead troubleshooter, I write software applications for the engineering department and I tune cars (mostly older turbo cars). Almost every chip that leaves Dinan was made by me. I also do tech support for driveability and electronics, etc. and when there is a car in the field that one of our dealers can't get running right or fix I fly out and make it right. All in all its a very fun job but a lot of work.
I have 3 cars: a 1967 Ford Mustang w/ 64k original miles, a 2003 Honda Civic Si, and my 85 GSL-SE. Even though I have a brand new car I still drive my RX& more than any of the others.

I'm a 46 year-old self-employed electronics technician specializing in dictation and transcription machine repairs. You know, those little microcassette recorders?
I also spent several years as a jeweler and ivory cutter.
Before that, I was a diesel mechanic in the Navy.
And before that, I was a cowboy.

I'm a 41-year-old software architect for a rapidly-shrinking telecommunications company located in the central plains of the US.
I have an undergraduate degree in biology. How I got from biology to programming to systems administration to software architecture is a long and boring story. At one point I was a licensed pest control technician. Then I monitored asbestos abatement projects for an environmental engineering firm. Got fired from every job I held before I started working with computing systems.
My life's ambition at this point is to win the lottery, quit my job, go back to school and explore the math I never liked when I *had* to take it, and restore as many 1st gens I can get my hands on. And race, that too. Seeing my ex-wife rot in hell would be a bonus. But then I'd have to be there to watch.
