Neil; Thanks for your service!

I recently got out of a 25 year profession operating a retail store and moved south so I could play with cars all year long. I started a new company based on a project I've been working on for several years. www.RadCapz.com (http://www.RadCapz.com) is a company that makes center caps for wheels. The first line of caps available were designed to fit ARE Torque Thrust II wheels and other wheels that use the same center cap.

I'm a Fire Alarm/Fire Suppression Technician for a fairly large company here in Southern California.

Basically... I get paid to go around all your jobs and make sure your office buildings, warehouses and data centers with suppression systems function properly so that when the Fire Dept. does show up, they've got less work to do.

One of those... behind the scenes dudes.

I'm not a fan of my job, the pay is too little for the amount of responsibility that's laid on us. The job itself isn't that bad, it's the potential for screw ups that's bad. If we screw up a system disarm, or an installer put in a hidden relay and didn't label the panel and we go test something. We could evacuate a high-rise building or dump a suppression system... or worst yet shut down a Server room.

And all eyes, fingers and swear words are directed at you in a nano-second when that crap happens.

Currently looking elsewhere... but in this day and age... I'm lucky to be employed... so here I stay for now.

I was one of the only supervisors there with a degree(actually the only one) not even and of my bosses had any college. Worked my ass off there 60+ hrs a week.Trust me when I say I am much happier now not working for them. They have reduced the work force there by half almost 600 and there has never been a word about how many people have lost there jobs there, they are so sneaky they do it 20-40 at a time over the course of months.

The company I work for builds heat recirculating steam generator ducting and systems, Noise reduction and selective catalytic reduction systems. Couple million pounds of steel passes through the door every week. Currently going to community college working on my certificate in CadCAM design, then I would like to take all my learned skills and use them to build a bad ass hot rod some day, but first I have to buy a garage with a house somewhere on the land.

Composer, researcher, educator, musician, artist. Oh, but wait, the question was...

What do you do for a living?
In that case, not a damn thing right now... I'm unemployed, doing the stay-at-home dad thing, and generally being a poor contributor to society and the economy. I suppose that's what I get for being obscenely over-educated in fields that no one really cares about (or cares enough about to pay for). But my dream is that I can completely sell out for a lot of money, like maybe $10-$12 per hour + benefits. :banghead:

Why aren't there any decent affordable headers for '64-'67 Chevelles with small-blocks having angle-plug heads? (Sorry- O/T I know...)

If you have some, let me know. Check my link for car info (or just ask). I'd love to step up to better pipes.

Scott, we offer angle plug compatible headers in 4 different configurations in the Doug's line, (not cheap, quality never is, but less than say a Kook's header) and also a mid length in our value priced Patriot line.

Trying to show the next generation how to do it right...

I've built and crewed a lot of different types of race cars along the way. I'm re-starting my side business doing vintage race car restorations and maintenance. Anybody need a Lucas fuel injection system rebuilt???

Seriously though, I work as a "machinist" for GE Aviation. My skills are not put to good use here at all. In the past I have run and worked in various types of smaller prototype shops, helping design and make everything from simple bolts, to parts for the Hubble telescope, to experimental medical equipment, to helping work with the engineers of I-Robot when they were first designing the bombsniffing robots they use over in Iraq. I have about $40 to $50k worth of CAD/CAM programming software at home, that I am forgetting how to use more and more as each day goes by...... but I still wouldn't trade my current job for anything!!!

Hopefully in the near future I will get a small Prototrac-type Bridgeport conversion for my home garage and I can start using my skills again

[ProTourGSX]

As a self-employed contractor, here's only a few things that I currently enjoy as my "work" sources:

Global Manufacturers' Representative; my role is to help others with ideas/inventions/products, to match them with my resource companies, from 3D CAD design, to prototyping & mass production, using unlimited materials & manufacturing processes, that range from everyday household products, to advanced Medical Supplies, and even National Defense vehicle (aviation/nautical/automotive) & weapons/accessories, some of which include:
- CNC machining of metals/Waterjet & Laser cutting/DieCasting/Tool & Die Manufacturing/Cold Steel Stamping/among many others
- Plastic Injection Molding
- Electronics/PCB design & assembly
- Adhesives/Paints/Chemicals
- Vinyl Graphics
only to name a FEW!

Clients include (directly & indirectly, as many of our suppliers make products & accessories that compliment others' products, besides only making specific parts for these companies):
3M; Honeywell; General Dynamics; Browning Firearms; John Deere; General Motors; Ford; etc.

As I notice there are many Engineers and machinists here, I can't help but wonder if somehow we are already doing business, either supplying you with our products, or if your companies already outsource to our manufacturers, as we have access to & contracts with.
If not, then we should be working together, eventually.

I'm also an independent contractor/delivery driver, with airlines for freight/cargo/luggage/films for theaters/medical supplies for hospitals & labs/etc.!

And, an independent Financial Advisor, to teach others how to reduce/eliminate debts, and how to save & invest money that's already available to them!

And, a Manufacturer's Representative for a company that resurrected my great uncle's electric razor (not rotary, but twin blades) invention, and is quickly becoming recognized in the health & beauty industry. Developed with the help of a NASA engineer, it is the only razor proven to eliminate razor bumps on African-American's sensitive skin!
