    VERY True, Kenny! That's EXACTLY what I mean! If you don't like what you're doing, then find something that you DO like, and stick with it!

    Being "successful" doesn't mean that you're any "Better" than anybody else, it just means that you're able to depend on YOURSELF to make a living. Everyone has different needs for different lifestyles, but everyone needs to find what their "requirements" are (for Bills, Savings, Hobbies, etc). I'm one of the people who HELP other people to determine "How Much" that they need to "MAKE IT" in life!:TU:

    It took me a LONG time to FIND something that I actually LIKE to do! I've worked MANY different places, only to find that Loyalty and Dedication mean NOTHING to most Companies!:Do No:

    I was an auto mechanic for 12 years, and I HATED working on OTHER PEOPLE's cars, because everything wrong with their car is YOUR fault, as a mechanic.:af: Then I hated working on MY OWN cars, because I "related" that to having to deal with those Customers!

    Now that I make enough money to "afford" my Buicks, I actually ENJOY them more!:bglasses:

    Education is not "so" important, between High School and College, either. It's how you USE your education that will determine how you "survive" in the "industrial" world.:Smarty::TU:

    That's the challenge, to Keep Learning new things. Diversity is the best "protection". Don't do just ONE thing, do MANY things! Your rewards will be multiplied!:Smarty::TU:

    Confucious says...:laugh::TU:

    I am the office manager for the elected District Prosecuting Attorney here in Northwest Arkansas. If you get in enough trouble (we handle felony charges), we send you to the pen :spank:

    I love this job, always interesting!

    I make 3d models and animations of mainly HVAC products that become part of buildings environmental control systems. If anyone is a building manager or HVAC tech working with Iconix, Metasys or Delta and has seen high end graphics in the system they probably came from us since we're the only company thats been doing it for very long.

    Depends on what your definition of Work is? I spend all day every day playing with my toys and do very little to no actual work. I just got done fitting my cam last night, what a pain in tha ass. It's my world...

    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    I work at the Smyrna, TN Nissan Auto/truck assembly plant as a Mechanical/Process Engineer in the Maxima Body assembly group. I have engineering responsiblity for the entire bodyside, bodyside inner, and wheel house assembly for the new Maxima, previously had the same responsiblity for the Altima. The Bodyshop currently builds 82+ car bodies per hour on one assembly line (Maxima & Altima on the same line).

    Think how long it takes you to install a door, fender, decklid, or hood on your car, now imagine doing 82 per hour with nearly perfect alignment!

    If you have never toured an automotive plant and watched the metal bodies being built, then you need to go take a tour. Seeing a body come together is cool. If you like cars you will be really impressed. Our plant will build over 550,000 vehicles next year and will be the single highest volume and most effiecient auto plant in the US.

    Well I haven't seen anything like my job here yet. I'm in the AI business. But not the Artificial Intelligence, the Artificial Insemination business. I go from farm to farm( as they call) and inseminate cows, both dairy and beef. I know it's a little different, but i like it and have been doing it now for almost 11 years. Not a lot of people look into this field of work.
