I partnered up with a buddy and we opened an independent repair shop, we do mostly general repair and partial to full restorations as well.

Otto's? or an idependent shop?

Oh! How I wish I could weld. Thought about taking a class at the Adult Vocational School for $450.

It depends on what type of welding you want to learn. stick, tig, mig? Mig is probably the least expensive to self teach and learn on your own at home. There are some really good books I can suggest if you decide to try it on your own. The only downfall is you will have to purchase a small mig welder and the supplies and safety equipment. Stick is not real hard either but it requires a 220 outlet and it's good to have someone experienced to look at your puddles and give you pointers on width and heat settings and rod selection.

^^ Same here. I've been considering the same thing lately, although I'm not sure I could swing it with my schedule.

I work for the Marine Corps as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic. Pretty much any kind of construction equipment you can think of I work on it, or use to. Now I am more of a supervisor (paper pusher). Not exactly my cup of tea, but its job security. I am also a father of four and a beginner welder.

Nice - specs on the company you work for?

I just got out of a job working in network administration for 15 offices, 200 employees/computers and about 60 servers (~95% of them virtulized with VMware).

Now I signed on with a much smaller mom/pop PC repair business in town. I've known the owner since my family purhcased our first computer WAYYYYY back when... We work with a variety of small businesses in the Central PA area that range from rigs still running NT/W95 machines, to some SBS 2011/W7 rigs. We offer a ton of different services and it keeps us busy... Plus, normal PC cleanup for home customers, new computer builds, etc, etc.

My brother is a network guy in PA... I think the company is called Broadview networks? or something...
I know he used to work at P.P@L

Security Officer for a local children's hospital. Defiantly not as easy as you'd think.. pissed off parents.. kids with mental issues requiring restraints... and 2000 woman in 2 city blocks PMS city. Some days it's the living version of hell.

I do nothing
I'm currently searching for a job.
I've worked in fast food. Nothing impressive.

My main interest is computers. I've been messing around with them for years. Back in Montana, I had a setup with two client laptops and 9 servers machines. I've messed with Windows 3.1, NT, 98, 2000 Pro, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2K, Server 2K3, Server 2K8.
Networking and hardware is my specialty.

My desired profession is truck driver. I'm waiting until I turn 21 in November, then I am going to driver training and going on the road. I can't wait. My favorite times are when I drive between Dallas, TX and Libby, MT. I love being on the road for days with just myself.
