I work on school busses.

For those that work on busses, lets see pictures of your shop... how many lifts??

Matt

Lifts? Surely you jest. I worked at an International dealer for about two years, and worked on a lot of buses. We could barely get them to supply jack stands and functional jacks, let alone lifts.

To contribute, I worked at the above International dealer until a few weeks ago and now work in a local Ford dealer's commercial truck and RV shop. Also a psychology student, and drive a dump truck on occasion when I have the free time and there's actually work.

Prop builder for stage and screen. This involves furniture building, metalwork, special effects, moldmaking, etc. Basically building anything they can supply a drawing for...or describe over the phone. It's a good job, every day is something different.

Bringing this one back to page one.


API/CWI QA/QC Inspector, NDE Tech, all around Oilfield Trash.

Used to rebuild, pressure test, and recertify open hole and cased hole pressure gear along with a mix of high pressure pumps, grease pumps and anything else our customers had that needed pressure tested.

Now I'm a crayon monkey in the Great White North with one of the most boring jobs known to man.

Contemplating going back to spinning wrenches either as a Diesel Tech or start up another pressure testing company.
