What do you do for a living/going to school for

After 13 years of teaching middle school, i feel like i live in puberty-land. I suppose that's why i still want to play with my toys and try to go faster. BA in elementary education, MA in school leadership, PhD in hard knocks...divorced with custody of 3 kids, one dog, 5 jeeps and 2 grand prix sedans. my girls like the newest purchase cuz it will spin the tires!

Im a Army SGT currently in Iraq on my second tour. im a Combat Engineer who specializes in Demolition..need to get in that house? ill blow the door off, need to blow a whole builiding up? i can make the charge and place it and kill every sorry ass in there.:th_sinister: Work side by side with Explosive Ordinance Disposal

Engineers "blow" the biggest loads!

im a high voltage splicer for NYC's power company. i work underground mostly and occasionally we are on aerials. its 27000 volts, cant be afraid to ride the lightning :D

I'm a body man at a dealership. also work part... 1/4th time helping an assosiate do full restorations... I make nothing though.

Not doing much now except trying to find a job as a CNA/TMA in a clinic and watching the few pennies I have left slip away (Windshield isn't cheap for the SSEi -$430 compared to $225 for the GTP -both have HUD, then I have insurance due in another week which is $310 for 6 mo on the SSEi).

I work in the printing industry. Used to be Prepress manager, now doing Quality Control/Plant Supervising for a direct mail company in the chicago area. Basically, i make a living printing "junk mail". It's not mechanical engineering, but it's a decent living so far.
