Was a jet mechanic for F/A-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat before decommission, and a Bodyguard/Chaplain Assistant in the Navy! I'm now a certified car mechanic which i do just for fun, but my daily job is a Civil Engineer specializing in Transportation!

im a bus driver for the city in ottawa, canada and do basic repairs and maintenance on my truck....been driving a bus for just over 6 years. I may have the chance to go into the garage to be an apprentice truck and coach mechanic with the same union but would lose all seniority and i really enjoy being able to finish work by 2pm most days instead of working overnights as a mechanic for the next ten years

I'm a Developer at a company that makes back office software for large financial firms. Doesn't sound exciting but it's actually quite interesting (well most of the time, lol). Not much transfer over to working on the truck unfortunately (well till I get around to cramming a computer in the dash ).

I did work for my dad's company doing electrical before college (commercial/industrial, no residential) and that helped for mechanical aptitude but even when I was a kid I was the one taking everything apart.

That's quite the list there, I'm curious how beer + Google results in ordained minister, lol. Have to say though, you must be the only person selling computers at Best Buy that actually knows anything about them. At the Best Buy's around me I practically get a headache just listening to what they're saying to try and sell the computers.

i love customers like you cause you come in with the latest copy of consumer reports and all the models in it are out dated by the time it's published. i practically get off on this.

I also like to tell people that like to flex their wallet and talk to me like im a piece of human crap and that should just give them discounts cause i should, NO!!!

nothing personal.
