I work as a millwright at Bel-Ray Lubricants. I basically fix everything.

[93formulalt1]

I'm an area supervisor for a private security company. Basically, rent-a-cop for federal housing projects. Not a bad gig, honestly. I have a background in law enforcement and military, so it's more of the same. I enjoy the work, and I make about the same as the local police do, so I'm not complaining. Carry all the same "toys" too, although I hope to never have to use them.

It's not BIG $$$, but it's an honest living, my company has a solid reputation, we hire the best applicants we can, and we are constantly training. Honestly, we do more training than the local PD's do. Range qualifications for armed personnel are done on a quarterly basis, rather than annually like the police and sheriff's dept, we are the only company in the area that carries Taser's, our written reports have brought shame on the local PD's reports in the past (one incident in particular, PD on site for an assault, they mixed up the Victim and Witness info in the initial report, passed it on the Pros. Att., now it's going to court, the witness was subpoenaed to appear and testify to the extent of his injuries, the victim was subpoenaed to provide a witness statement. . . I don't know how you can make such a huge mistake, and even after being corrected, they refuse to change their report.)

Heck, even the MSP knows who we are, we've been involved in helping them capture fleeing criminals on our property before. To put it nicely, we aren't what you might call "****ing around." haha

I currently work at team Dillon racing. I'm a mechanic we race dirt late models. I travel often. My duties are to turn the car around after each race, repair broken stuff (bell housings transmissions, bird cages, spindles, etc.) change motors and more random things I just started making bodies. At the track I make suspension changes our crew chief wants and keep the car fueled and sometimes fix a wrecked car to make the race. Trying to learn tig welding and everything I can while I'm here. I'm hoping one day it leads to a job at RCR our shop is located on their campus.

So I picked up a second part time job that has the potential to be full time in spring/summer

I wire cars at one of the local chassis shops for the use of Mick's performance engine management system. Pretty much strip out any existing sites that will not be used and install the fuse panel, relays, run all the wires, and make the engine harnesses.

In spring/summer when it gets busy and he needs someone to be his right hand man, I'll probably be sent to tracks to be on site tech support for the people running the system.

Here's a car we did and some progress on a pulling truck we are doing. Granted, its not done so it still looks messy34152341533415434155

Nice man! I'm a complete idiot when it comes to wiring and electrical but I'm taking an engineering class this semester that'll really teach me.

I worked as a night shift maintenance machinist during high school in factory that made castings. After that I studied mechanical engineering for two years. Gave up on that and decided I wanted to be a crop duster. I worked for 3 years on my grandpas farm while I got my license. Gave up on flying low when I got engaged. I still work on the farm and I am in community college. I'm studying IT/Networking and working on my CCNA.

Idk that i ever met some one who has done crop dusting... that is pretty unique.

Good luck on the IT stuff man.

Got a job at O'Reilly. Honestly, I've been there two days and I like it a lot. Everybody there is funny as hell. Someone even offered to buy my car.

Guess I can update this. In the near future, a month tops, I'll be moving from the machinery that cuts the radial belts to actual tire building for BF Goodrich. I've already had the job bid for over a month now.

Posted a couple years ago, but things are changing. Still working as a Project Manager/Licensed Professional Engineer for a large construction company - roads, bridges, underground utilities. But retiring at the end of this year. Already winding down to 3 days a week. Couple of interesting recent projects....

Small job - In April, mill/pave the asphalt portion of Old Bridge Raceway Park (Englishtown) 1/4-mile, in prep for the NHRA Nationals.

Large job ($70,000,000) - reconfigure and reconstruct the Garden State Parkway/Rt 70 interchange 88. Did not manage this project, but had to sign/seal some of the bridge deck calculations.

Yeah Popo, I do neglect my own stuff to a degree. After dealing with the headaches on a day to day basis I try not to create any of my own.

I feel your pain. But there is satisfaction in spending forty dollars on a job that would cost a customer upwards of $700.

Sounds like IT. Nobody is thankful you fixed their Internet/computer when 99% of the time it was their fault it doesn't work. They just get mad it takes you any time at all. It's a thankless job.

I feel your pain. Used to be an awesome hobby for me. Turned to it professionally. Pretty much despised every full time second I spent and had zero interested in doing a single thing to my own cars. Slowly coming back around now that I've been out of the field for a couple of years. That's one career field I see hyped on the TV commercials and sit there and think "lie, lie, lie." There's no getting ahead as a mechanic/tech IMO. The only ones getting ahead are the shop owners.

I used to fly 4-5 times a week trying to get more hours. I flew in a diamond DA-20, a Beechcraft bonanza, and a Piper Pawnee. Eventually I'll get an airplane. If I can hold off having kids.

I always thought it was neat when I would climb then dive really hard. It would make you weightless and every speck of dust on the floor would float up!
