Hey, I just wanted to know what kind of jobs AO'ers have...

Personally, I'm a full time student, however I recently started a job @ a resteraunt. I bus tables, do a bit of waiting, help prepare food and stuff...

Quite a nice job considering the commute http://www.automags.org/ubb/wink.gif I live right across the street.

Only bad thing is that I don't get too much time off to play paintball http://www.automags.org/ubb/frown.gif

i am a commercial fishermen. what this means is that i catch shrimp and oysters for a living, it might be hard and teadiase work but it is very peaceful and allows me to spend a lot of time with my family. my dad and i work on the same boat so i spend a lot of time with him just talking and this has made us very close, my brother runs or other shrimpboat so i spend a lot of time with him also. and since we own and operate or own boats and seafood processing plant i can create time for me to play paintball.

I'm a machinist, the company i work for
makes parts for turbine(jet)engines and
landing gear for airplanes and helicopters;
We also make stainless steel filtration units
for hospitals, and other various things.
On that note, I've heard people talk how
Extremlly tight tolerances AGD makes there
guns,I don't doubt that there they are but
I'm sure its not even close to what the areospace parts require for tolerancing,
again not to say that AGD product are bad quality,but a tolerance of +/-.0005" is very
common and tolerances in the millions is
not uncommon.

I'm a marketing assistant for a the worlds largest pure design firm, according to Engineering News Record.

Our company builds stuff. Office buildings, waste treatment plans, school buildings, highways, bridges, sports stadiums. At least, we do the design and construction management aspect of it. We also do a lot of GIS mapping of various things (one of the large current projects out of our office in GIS is mapping every single sewer pipe in NYC, not an easy task).

I'm the one who makes sure our company gets those jobs instead of some other design firm. Most of the work I do is contracts with the NYC DEP and local universities such as CUNY, Rutgers, etc.

I am lucky enough to have a few important clients with whom I have great relationships; this allows me time to work on a few pet projects.

Hopefully I will be able to get in the MBA program of my choice for next Fall.

I feel compelled to say that although I'm totally a type A personality, that fisherman guy a few posts up seems to have a very optimal life in some respects...
