    I teach welding and basic machine shop at Hill College, a 2 year community college. It's a good gig except for all the paperwork.

  8. If you look at my sig you will see what is becomming my main gig. Spent 12 years of my like in the bicycle industry so I think it works well.

    My day job would still be listed as Mortgage Broker. Fun work, we are in an area minus many of the slimeballs that other cities have seen. Our market is good and we treat people like our neighbors. Money is cheap, the sky is not falling. Rates hit 5% the other day.
     
  9. My wife says i dont work. I suppose that is true because i enjoy what i am doing now so much that it is more fun than work. We have an old car salvage yard. I go to auction sales and buy any thing that i think that is a cheap bargan cars trucks tractors farm equiptment heavy machinery ect bring it home. Do some work on it and resell it at a reasonable profit.:D OldWolf

    Just got laid off from a major Title Insurance Company in the LA area. I'd been with them fror 11 years, and now I'm knee-deep in build and fabrication work. Life is kind of funny sometimes. Now I jump out of bed at 6:00am to get to work (pisses off my wife, most days) because I LOVE what I do. Even have a guy from the HAMB helping out when he can.

    I'm in the hobby industry. I work for a major radio control hobby distributor managing a few different product lines. When not playing with toys, I can be found working on building up my storage business. The storage business is a great business for a car nut - empty units are great depositories for cars/parts. :eek:
