Cabinet maker. I haven't known another job since I was 17, I'm almost 27 now. I worked at an autoparts store, and a glass factory prior to the woodworking career. I've been self employed for 4 years with my own shop. My advice when it comes to starting your own business is to just let the American dream slide. Someday it will pay but at this point the pay doesn't make up for the long hours, the stress and the trouble. Especially in this crap housing market.

Here's a kitchen I did in a 1.5m town home. One of my favorite/high paying projects.

Well, that sounds great compared to my job. I had to pull the guts out of the chickens, separate out the livers and the gizzards, and then wrap up the livers and gizzards in packages to go to the customers. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Jake! Nice music - I think I hear some blue turtles in there... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How about dating ourselves with past jobs? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hauled hay at 1/2 cent per bale

Replaced fence posts for 5 cents each

Dishwasher (1st "real" job) $1.45/hour

In "Something about Ethiopia" do I hear a bit of Mark Knopfler influence?

Nice stuff <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Civil Engineer and industrial mechanics technician, but almost never worked in those fields. Real work started in commodities, then financial institutions from back office to head of treasury/markets. Investments and advisory nowadays.

Quite possibly - the lead singer/guitarist in that song was my summer-school college English Professor, Micky, from Ireland. The other lead singer / backup guitarist, Ian, was from England. The bass player, Dieter, was from Germany, and the drummer, Denny, was from Wal-Mart.

Well currently I work as a pharmacy tech, basically I go through my day working out insurances for thousands of older people. The CVS I work at is very near the busiest in the nation doing over 1000 scripts per day.

But that is just to pay the bills while I am in school, hopefully I will be the pharmacist and possibly own my own pharmacy.

One more and then I'll quit...I haven't listened to these in a while...The quality is a little muttled because they were duped from a 1991 cassette tape a few years ago. This is my favorite song from that Album though I didn't play on this song..."57 Chevy"

Started working and cleaning parts in gasoline at 12 years old for my dad who was rebuilding motors for extra money.By 14 I rebuilt my first motor by myself.(a 40hp VW motor). Worked at El taco for 1.00 an hour,a drive-in theater,and circle K all at 16 years. I have laid block for 15 years in Arizona,laid sewer pipe,"live and inactive". As I got older I realized it is time to get a job with benefits.

Started working on the ramp loading bags on aircraft while going to school for my A&P license. After 2 years started as a mechanic and am now an inspector for southwest airlines.

Will retire in 10 years.

At the risk of intimitdating some, here goes:

B.Sc. in Cell & Molecular Biology.

Spent a summer working in municipal sewage treatment plant...does that win me the most smelly job award?

M.Sc. in Virology

Several years working in a virus lab on a Ph.D. before I opted to start making money (so I could sail again ;-) and took a job at the leading Biotechnology company...Amgen in So.Cal. where I do science application support & training for the research staff.

Currently,
Field Service Engineer, biotech company was called Chiron, now owned by Novartis.

I work on automated blood test systems, screening donated blood at blood banks to prevent disease transmission from transfusion. Quite the blend of electronics, automation, fluidics, chemistry, biochemistry and immunology. Always having to learn something new which keeps it interesting.

Well I used to be an Electrical Engineer, but now I'm working as a Property Tax Consultant. But I'm one of the "good guys"; we help to get people's property taxes LOWERED. That's a very hot topic in Indiana these days. (The Governor was almost lynched by angry mobs of taxpayers recently.)

I sure wish Mike Roe was a catsailor. My computer would crash loading that Resume.

I am a construction inspector/project manager on highway (mostly bridges)construction projects for the Texas Department of Transportation.

I are a college student...that sells a few boats and parts here and there.
May 2008 will bring a BS degree (and I don't mean bachelor's of science) in Business Management and Marketing.

So who in here is hiring? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I have a BS in Physics. I worked in the aerospace industry for a while on some mission control teams, then testing software. This dryed up, so now I'm in Nursing school. I have about a year to go in the RN program at the local JC.

Howdy Indywave,
What does that long Hawaiian name of your boat mean?

A two year degreee in machine tool with a 4 year apprenticeship to become a tool & die maker. (Good for making custom parts for boats). I went back to school at night for a BS in Manufacturing Engineering. I currently work in the office furniture industry as a Engineer. I am volunteering as a machinest for the local First Robotics team and I am Past President of the local Toastmasters Club.

I should have listed cooking in the hobby thread. Nice kitchen, Karl! Double convection ovens with a microwave and warming drawer, six-burner gas stove with custom hood and lighted glass-front hardwood cabinetry. Particularly like the tile backsplash and pot filler. Nice use of space, dude.
