Weee, I am a former press operator working now as a project manager for a large comercial printing company I work on Direct mail projects for all types of large companies. OK OK I coordinate junk mail programs But hey It's a living and I don't have to sweat my Arse off working in a 100 degree pressroom any more and I get to apply the knowledge I learned on the pressroom floor to the front end of the business. SO when people tell me it can't be done, I tell them oh yes it can I've done it!!!!

I am currently working for a major Automobile manufacturer as a C&M Electrician. This will last for just one more year then I'll be looking for a new job. My other trade is Automotive Electrical Accessory Technician. Basically I used to manage custom car audio shops, and build demo vehicles. So I do have some things to fall back on.

I'd like to get an apprenticeship for IMM (Industrial Maintenance Mechanic). Then I can work as a Mech/Elec. Or be unemployed and have 3 trades.

I am a Product Manager at John Deere Landscapes in Taylor Michigan. I was forced into the job 3 years ago, but would rather do what I did before. Be a small engine mechanic. I love working on commercial mowers. I also love to build computers.

I'm a maintenance mechanic/electrician/plumber at a Wal~Mart distribution center. Our building is 32 acres under roof with 20+ miles of conveyor system, a lot of restrooms, hundreds of lift trucks and I get to play with all of it. I love the work but they have a policy for every little thing and it can be a PITA sometimes. The good thing is they don't lay off, maybe cut a few hours here and there but I still have a job to go to!

I am a firefighter/emt, for the past 13 years, that is my first job, and I do a few different jobs in my off time, but mainly enjoy raising my kids,

On top of being a full time student, I work as a R/C Technician at my local hobby shop as well as doing everything else that needs done at the shop. I also work at an orthopedic shoe/medical supply store making custom orthotics, shoe inserts, deliveries, receiving, and other miscellaneous things.

I am a designer in the design engineering group for Pramac America. We manufacture portable generators, home standby generators, and pressure washers. We have a few brand names but the one you'll most likely recognize is Powermate (as in Coleman Powermate).

I work 2nd shift at a nearby hospital as an instrument tech. It's a level 1 trauma center. In the morning I'm in nursing school. I'm pretty busy and have zero time or money for R/C. I only get to check RCMT like one every few weeks :(

Union Plumber. Wanted to be a diesel truck mechanic at first but in the very early 90s I started my apprenticeship through the union as a plumber. I started in residential housing construction and then to commercial construction. Now I have moved onto the service end of the plumbing trade which covers a broad range of plumbing repair and installation work. I am proud of my trade and dont regret getting into it one bit.
