10 yrs or so as a landscape contractor
many years at LBCC, CSULB and CPU Pomona and a Masters from the school of hard knocks.

Now I'm the Construction Administrator for a Landscape Architecture firm, hope to be licensed in a few years.

Best job I've had yet. Very satisfying.

LOL aaron, Im a Professional Engineer. my job has its good moments then suffers through periods of tedium, just like any profession I suppose.

Specifically I work on suspension bridges. In construction management.

I dont believe engineers are compensated nearly enough, given the education we have to have, and the responsibilities we have.

Honestly Im thinking about a career change,but I dont have a clue what else I can do though

I’m webmaster for a network of agricultural radio stations, and I do a lot of in-house Java programming. I’ve worked there since I was a sophomore in high school, so when I graduated I became full-time and took my old boss’s job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The work is awesome… I’m a one—man development team, so I get to learn and experiment a lot. The only problem is that there’s no money out in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, and there’s no place for me to advance from where I am now.

Anyway… I’m going to college at Phoenix Online right now. I tried a local university, but I hate the “college lifestyle” crap. Who wants to be a poor, drunk, indoctrinated college kid?

I am a porn star. My stage name? Shorty.

Seriously though, I'm in medical sales and love it. I recommend a sales career to all who are outgoing, can take the pressure of weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual quotas. The financial rewards are only limited by your desire and imagination.

BS in Information Systems from the Univ of San Francisco.

I'm Chief of Operations for MidAmerica Millwork. A commercial millwork contractor that specializes in high end medical/dental facilities, oil company offices, and law offices. I've been in the building industry since 1975. Went to OU as a music major. My chosen career is a very rewarding one (when I get paid on time.LOL).

Oh yeah, I keep several of the local 914's running in my spare time.

I've been employed full time for 40 years.....cept for a couple years with Uncle Sam.

The only thing that kept me out of college was high school.

I'm a QC inspector.....not that it matters, I'm burnt out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
