Run my own automotive consulting & litigation support company.
What does everyone on here do for a living?
- Thread starter mosaud1998
- Start date
I live in Mansura. I'm at the funky Bunkie location.
I’m an EE and I design and draft drawings for the power, lighting and fire alarm systems in commercial buildings. Good mix of time between office and being out in the field. Get to see some cool stuff sometimes.
When I go into a building I’d rather go into the dingy basements and look at the systems that make the building function rather than checking out the fancy lobby.

Retired library director. County of 400,000.
Yes Sir, I need to find one that will be willing to work with me.
This is not for HVAC or Electrical..... it’s for electronics and medical equipment repair. This is the other side of healthcare that few people think about but is very important.
1 year paid apprenticeship program, tool allowance, safety shoe allowance, OTJ training, paid travel and training in Milwaukee for ‘GE Fresh Start’ , etc....
Tons of big GE accounts in the NE part of the USA. This career field is half mechanical and half electronics. I spent 30+ years in this field there’s lots of avenues of opportunity and companies to work for. Very good $$$ in field service for manufacturers if you like to travel.

Heavy equipment operator at a garbage transfer station.
General Contractor
Sales, mechanic, detailer, and office manager at my buddies car lot. It's just the two of us, so we both wear many hats. Of course he shares the wealth abundantly or I would not wear all of those hats. I love it though, we have a lot of fun even though it's a lot of work.
Industrial Maintenance Technician is what I do in my free time from my real job. Although my boss at the real job is a **** slave-driver. We've been married 7 years.
Lead A&P mechanic at Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services in Nashville.
I've been doing Ford and Mazda parts for a little over 14 years. Back in May I was voluntold to be the Parts Manager which I went into kicking and screaming. Now I am embracing the suck.
Doctoral Candidate & researcher in sustainability with a focus on consumer behavior/trends. I'm currently exploring consumer preferences today vs. prior generations in such areas as how expectations for quality/durability/service life of a consumer grade product have changed over the last 75 years. For example, what we, generally as a consumer society, expect (and receive) from the products we purchase has shifted dramatically from that of our grandparents generation.
On another front, I run my own consulting business training others in public speaking. Talking in public in front of an audience is one of the most dreaded things people fear, but I swear that anyone can be trained to do it well and dare I say actually enjoy it!! Yes, there are objective skills to learn and those are not that difficult, but most of the challenges people have giving talks/presentations are not intellectual but rather psychological.

You should start a thread on the topic! Really could be enlightening for us all and maybe you?
But maybe last 40 years would fit this group on the forum?

Well my living might be hard to determine based on my username LOL. I work at a large dealership that has tons of brand franchises like Toyota, Ford, Mopar, Subaru, Kia and a few others everything except luxury cars and Nissan, Honda and Volkswagen those are the only ones we don’t have. I’m a Subaru mechanic there I had to do express lane for 30 days to start because that’s where everyone starts at this dealership which I’m glad to not do that anymore because it sucked. I love my job and career it’s what I always wanted to do. Now if I could just get my coworkers to get their own tools. The thing I like is the Subaru/ Kia shop is the only one with A/C so I got lucky there.
How many oil changes on a busy day were you doing ?
