    I have a Masters in Automotive Engineering from the University of Michigan. So, obviously, I design little trim moldings to be taped onto cars, at a "Fortune 3" company. It's really big. I'm not sure if they remember I work there. I wonder what would happen if I stopped going?

    Street Rod Shop foreman. I walk around all day and tell people how to build cars. We have 16 employees, so that uses up my day. When I do have a break, I get to road test every car we built or repair. Typically on a complete build, we will drive them 200 - 500 miles before releasing them to the customer just to be sure they are ok. Do I enjoy it?, well I guess it's ok! As an example, today I had to drive a 34 5 window, a 57 Chevy hardtop, a 57 Chevy truck, 34 Cabriolet, and a 32 Vicky. No brag, just fact!

    I build performance and racing engines. (see the link in the profile or the thread on the HAMB o' dex). It says you're looking for a career change so my only advice is don't build engines for a living haha. seriously though if that's what you were planning on i definitely wouldn't recommend it. It sounds a lot cooler than it really is.

    I've been a firefighter/EMT for 6 1/2 years. I am currently a Lieutenant and a HAz-Mat Technician.

    I've considered getting out due to low pay, but I love the work and the schedule, plus I can retire in 13 1/2 years. Probably will go back to scool then and get a "real job";)
