Well I lost my job today. Contract wasn't renewed. Gotta love the april 15th lay off.

Anyone need a tech? or a mechanic?... I think I'm probably just going to start up a small computer repair buisness. I've had small buisness management courses, and I've already got the budget and buisness proposal worked up. My dad's trying to push me into it, but I'm not so sure.

 

^ hey small business isn't bad, but what's up with all these layoffs. bunch of people i know are getting lay off..

 

dude, that sucks. if you go with a home business, good luck with it.





on another note, if anyone's in Baltimore County today anywhere near Towson, feel free to visit me at Fox in timonium. i'm bored

 

I was thinking about getting a job at a nissan or mazda dealership too. See if they need a mechanic

 

I don't... but I'll work for you if you start up a business

 

Theres always work to be done, one nice way to make a profit(if you know a bunch of restaurants) buy and sell commercial food equipment, you can make a killing!

 

try www.comcast.com we are always hiring service techs for cable and internet installs. Id have more pull if you were in the nova area but good luck man!

 

I feel like I have sinned. I apllied at pep boys today.

 

Ive got a friend that tried to get me in over there, but it doesn't pay enough to support a family. I'm looking for 20/hr+ which may seem rediculous, but it's really not when you have a family.

 

f1blue, send me your resume, I'll put a good word in for you at MCPS (Montgomery County Public Schools) I have some influnence with some of the higher ups.

 

The money sucks. Remember my buddy Adam with the 81 Rabbit that has a 16valve swap and is running carbs. He used to work at Congressional Volkswagen and he says what will kill your check will be warranty work. That's why New Car dealerships suck. Someone will have a ridiculous amount of work that needs to be done and it'll be covered under their warranty. Meaning you get the hourly I think.

 

yep...warranty work is paid a LOT less than repair jobs that are beyond the warranty. try car sales, maybe?

 

Retail isn't my thing. I hate people, and I hate dealing with customers. I'm a technical person and my customer service skills suck *** at this point.

 

well...if you want to work on cars, go to a high end dealership...that's the only place you might have a good chance of making money. if you are a certified mechanic, then you've got a little more on your side...but it's still hard to make money. the techs at my dealership all complain that they make more money on their side jobs than anywhere else.

...here's another thought. if you were willing to drive back to Timonium, i know Agile Auto is looking for a good mechanic. one of the founders of the shop had to leave for personal reasons, and they're in need of someone to take over his spot. you could always give them a try.

 

meh. I've never bolted a turbo on a honda before so I don't know how much I'd be able to help out. Not alot of buisness for 80's sports cars I'm sure. I've dropped by their shop before haven't ever seen a 7 there before.

 

they don't do mazda, but they're always busy it seems.

they appear to stick to nissan, subaru, and honda, with the occasional mitsu and higher-end toyota.

 

i got pictures from the meet ^_^. nice meeting you guys/girls

 

Open a shop to work on 7's! I'm sure there is enough people around here looking for a good, quality 7 mechanic to keep you busy for awhile. I've got two right now I'll bring up to get you started!

 

Yeah I can do that. If anyone needs any rx7 work, 410 627 2207.

 

18-30k depending on you skill......

 

heh my resume's salary requirements start at 40.

 

mine too!

 

Let me know when you're ready for that carb job!

 

post them in the meet thread!
