Good luck with that. I hope you have a solid contract with a good MOS. Pro Tip: Don't roll into the Island wearing a bunch of motivated USMC gear, it only draws unwanted attention to yourself.

Flight Line Operations Manager for The Boeing Company. The cool part of my job is to walk into the hangar and see all the Super Hornets and Growlers, and think "I really wish we could get these to convert to AirMech Mode. I mean, for God's Sake, Grumman did it with the Tomcat!"

I am an assistant manager at my local McDonalds. I graduated from UoP (University of Phoenix) last October with an associates in IT, but have not yet found work. So I still flip burgers and sell milkshakes.

But my milkshakes bring all the customers around.

We got your beef right here. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.

I really need to get out of here.

what I have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you try to fix it yourself, I will come for you. If you call me right away, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you call me, I WILL come, and I WILL fix your plumbing... Im a service plumber..

Ex Windows/Linux/Unix/etc sysadmin...

Moved into project implementation, specialising in minesite work. Now a supervisor running the cabling/project implementation(i sit below the project manager) division of the company doing entertainment systems(IPTV, Phones, Internet, radio, theatres, etc) projects, general communications projects(corporate networks, etc), installation of coax, cat-6 and fibre networks.

Spent all day today rolling around in the dust in the middle of the desert installing a new TV system for the client. Filthy work sometimes, but very enjoyable when you see it all coming together.

I don't miss office work(yet), and i've been in this role for nearly 2 years now... Money is (way) better, and i get to enjoy the sun rather than being cooped up in an office all day.

The work in summer is hell though. 48+ degree (120 degrees+ for your americans) daytime temperatures are less than fun when you're carrying around/installing heavy equipment... particularly when you're doing 12 hour days, 13 day weeks, and 4 weeks at a time...
