Hey, i was just wondering how you guys get your money?
Where do you guys work?

il start, i work with my dad on his construction because no buddy is hiring me and i gave over like 20 resumes but iam only 16 but still ....

Right now I sell SBC phone service, but I'm hoping to get on with the state D.O.T. as a technician. Someday I wanna have my own tuning shop though.

I'm a student. I have no money, lol.

I do work hard over the summer throwing ice cream...mmm, ice cream. It's called palletizing, but basically, you "stack" i.e. throw ice cream onto a pallet in an ordered and neat pattern, you wrap it with plastic (machines do it), and send it down the isle for storage and shipment. No other job can you chuck stuff all day long dripping with sweat , play with forklifts all in -20 to -40 degrees Farenheit. Oh and it pays about $17 an hour, cha ching! Yeah, you get very cheap and free ice cream too, mmm...

It helps pay for school, but I don't have much more for doing anything with my car. My cars stay stock. That's ok cause it's really just a hobby for me, nothing competitive.

man i need a job

listen to this, i went to mazda and handed them a resume and whein i went inside everyone waslike OMG somebody stole a car the key is missing, everyone was panicing. I was like wtf.
So then i was leaving the place and at the very front of the car lot its pretty busy there on the main road. I just looked at the Rx8 and noticed someone has left the keys inside inisde the lock on the doorhandle.
So i walk back inside and tell the manager the key is outside in the Rx8.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAYS TO ME ?

I'm pretty much in the same boat: during the summer I work and go to school in the fall, with a part time job to pay the gas. I don't have any $$ left over for anything else unfortunately.

My daily driver is a 95 V8 TBird I affectionately call "Miyoki". Right now it's stock, but it get's 23mpg with cheap insurance and plenty of room, plus she's got plenty of power, and when you get in a sticky situation she takes care of ya. In the future I'd like to do some mild upgrades: exhaust so it sounds good, and some mild brake, wheel/tire, and suspension work.

In the future though I wanna get a 5.0 LX coupe for a weekend drifter/touge runner.

I'm a Network Engineer for Verizon. I work on a Federal Military Contract for the Department of Defense. My job requires a TS military clearance, so thats about as much as I can say about what I do. Its good fun though! Best thing in the world is having a career that you enjoy.

But yeah I got my start in networking by getting interested in hacking. I have never hacked anyone elses machine (its illegal), but I found the information very interesting. I originally started out with an interest in graphic design and web design, but after spending years on IRC, I moved from to an interest in security and eventually an interest in routing. Its been a long string of 'in the right place at the right time' that got me where I am today. I'm just a lucky guy, I cant take any credit. I have no college degree, and no certifications. I entered the work force at 18 after dropping out of College at Penn State University when my Volleyball Scholarship expired because I could not find a place to live near Campus. You'd think the College Scholarship people would explain things like this over the phone when you live 6000 miles away and arrive for the first time 2 days before classes start and all the houses / apartments are already taken. Doh! But anyway, I started out as a temporary worker with a temp staffing agency. I went through my fair share of BS before getting good full time jobs. Continue to learn more and broaden your horizons and take the opportunity when it presents itself. People that actually know their stuff are much more usefull than people with degrees that dont know jack.

luky, you should go back to college or university
