I was in collision work for 3 years, and decided that it was more of a hoby than a field of work that would put me into the life i wanted.

I was an asst manager in a test/tech support group for quite a few of the major game manufaturers. I just recieved a promotion Today

I am now the weekend manager for the entire building

Id was thinking of going back to school and finishing up my ase certs, but I really find no joy in renching on anyone else's car but mine...unless it is a sweet car. But the average joe's car isnt a sweet one.

Very true. I just love working on cars. I've got about 5 years experience and have only 2 ASE's, but I'm going for my next 2 soon.

I work for a very well-known aircraft manufacturer, repairing and modifying KC-135s and C-17s. The work can be very dirty at times, but it's challenging and interesting. Here's a list of the planes I've worked on; C-5s, B-52s, T-38s, C-130s, C-26s, Fairchild Metros and Merlins, Cessna 172(?), Saab 340s, and Boeing 767. I'm sure I left several planes out...

[turbonium959]

I am a mechanical engineer for a Tier 1 supplier. I mainly work with trucks: Ford, DCX, GM, and Nissan.

[Project Protoge]

Im a mechanic at the moment and I have worked on cars since I was 5 but I get bored with jobs quick. I havn't gotten ase certified yet but have scheduled for the tests coming up. I have also been a lead carpenter, a computer tech. in college, worked on a boat, and done industrial painting. Wrenching is still one of my favorite jobs and I like working on the average joes cars just for the fact that you never know what you are going to find. Some average joe cars have some fairly hi performance engines that no one expects.
