I'm a mechanical engineer working for Peterbilt (Denton,Tx) until Feb 2nd. '07 Emissions regulations have caused a major drop in production for all Class 8 truck manufacturers and I got laid off. I actually work in the HVAC/ Interiors group, but the cuts are being made across the line.

Before that was Poulan/ Husqvarna Chainsaws in Texarkana, and Friedrich Air Conditioners in San Antonio. The future may hold Fort Worth, Waco, Austin or San Antonio. Who knows where my family will end up next. All I know is, I'll be dragging my project Camaro with me!

Sorry to hear you're being let go.....I'm an owner/operator. I've had my 92 Pete 379 since 96. Don't plan on buying a new one either....sorry. It just turned 1,000,000 miles last October. I retired it from OTR 2 years ago when I bought a 97 KW T600. I use the Pete to pull a sand and gravel end dump trailer during our construction season.

I have it in my introduction thread, but, not much detail... I do several things, the most important of which is being the owner of Tainted Pink Productions which is a full service entertainment (mostly bands) agency. I personally am the director of entertainer management & marketing. We offer, of course, management, marketing, booking, press kit design & distribution, security, transportation (equipment hauling), and we also act as a mediator between bands and recording companies. I have plans to have a recording studio by 2009, and a record label by 2011, along with a live music venue to showcase the bands that we work with by 2009. Tainted Pink handles mostly metal, industrial and goth bands, but we have also done some work for choirs, rappers, comedians, and blue grass bands.

I'm also a body piercer and scarification artist. Piercings are my main focus, but I do tattoo machine scarification, dermabrasion (dremel scarring), branding, and cutting/skin removal. I'm in the planning stages with some other notable tattoo artist from NC on opening a shop that is a joint ownership because we're tired of working for shop owners that act more like greedy tyrants. We have a scheduled opening date of January 1st.

So thats what I do when I'm not babying my car...I'm a very busy girl, lol!

im a sales Manager for a Major Manufacturer of VW rubber seals and importer of German parts and trim. We sell the equvalent of GM stuff but on a vw scale. i never knew that these cars had such a following and some are worth a lot of coin. the v dub crowd is usally very cheap though.....generally. i was told this coming in since these guys knew of my chevrolet background, so sometimes these guys are a pain in the but. some are real cool too though, and i honstly have owned a few vw's since working here and they were fun family cars.....but i was never satisfied and i had to sell my split window bus to get my 67 Camaro.:thumbsup:

I am the first with this job to post I think, although I did see a Farmer from South Dakota. I am an Agriculture Consultant. I specialize in Rice production. I make weekly assessments of certain fields and advise on Varietys, plant population, fertilization and application of pesticides. Tough, hot, and sweaty job but I love it. I get to stay outside all the time and basically get all winter off to hunt, or work on other projects. I am also a student trying to get a MBA. Man after reading all about everyone elses cool jobs it makes me think I went to school for the wrong thing...

Listen, dont believe that. If you ever get a call from a relay place, and you dont know a deaf person, HANG UP. The calls we process are 95% fraud or prank calls, deaf people are rare. I work at the largest telecomunications center in the world, for deaf people i guess or maybe it is. We can process child molesters calls, fraud calls, prank calls phone sex, but we cant look at porn while were at work.

Rant off, I hate my job.

Interesting thread, I like it. I don't post much, but am always going thru the forums to absorb all the great info you guys put out there. THANKS!!!
I am first a husband and second a father to 6 great kids and counting. To pay the bills I work for a global telecommunications company and an ebay powerseller to help support my addicting Camaro hobby. The kids are already fighting over who get's my Camaro. I tell them no problem, we just need to get a few more Camaro's. The wifey still isn't on board with that plan, but there is power in numbers!

I'm trying to become retired, but the gov't won't let me... says that I have to pay taxes! Big country, small pop. As for where do we get the $ for these cars? I'll bet that most of us have learned the hard way, and done a lot of the work ourselves. With the costs of restoration today...you'd better have pretty deep pockets if you leave it all to the pros, eh?

I'm an architectural designer....which basically means I work under an architect and do all the work, hahah... I draw pretty pictures all day and occasionally get to do 3D renderings. What has become apparent to me is that I must be in the wrong field, hahah, because I spend a lot of time with people who want $250k bathroom remodels, $150k kitchen remodels, and $1million plus whole house remodels! Really? anyone who can spend that much on one room in their house must be doing something right? hahaha (mostly ceo's, surgeons, attorneys, hedge fund managers,etc.) oh well.

as long as I have my toys, i'm happy! =)

I wondered about that, I hear some areas are slow and others are not. Over here on the west coast we can't even begin to fill the jobs we have, the comany I work for has solid work for the next three years, three of the jobs are 20-30 floor highrises. It could get interesting when we need guys, I'm just starting about a 9 month project myself and hope I can get some guys out when I need them.
It could be worse for sure, but the way the economy is looking right now the work picture could tank at anytime, I feel sorry for anyone that builds houses, or residential electricians, times could be getting real tough.
Take care, :beers:

If you do residential work I wish you luck, but with a one man shop you should be Ok.
The election has nothing to do with it, the housing market is crapped out almost everywhere, and on it's way everywhere else, and we are basically one foot in a recession right now. Fortunately for me the commercial/ industrial end is the last to be affected, so long as the money has been allotted to the job.
Good luck to you, but a one man outfit should easily keep busy so you should be fine.

Right back at you Alan! And that goes for all of you guys in semi dangerous lines of work :beers:

Intel has been pretty good to me, but what it giveth, the Camaros quickly taketh away!

Mechanical Engineer.

Those of you who use cutting or heating torches (oxy-fuel, air-fuel), pressure regulators, gas control devices, etc... depending on the brand you've got, I may have had a hand in the design of the product you're using :) Unless of course they are really crappy products and you hate them... then they surely couldn't have been mine :D

Some days I hate the job and the people drive me crazy... but when I step back and look at the "big picture"... I'm really quite lucky. I've got a really great life with lots of security, and think I need to remember that more often than I do.

I'm with you on that one, I am an Industrial Engineer / Process engineer for Dana Commercial Vehicle, we build the big axles that go under the OTR trucks, firetrucks, buses, etc. HUGE ring gears, off highway (another division) actually has an axle that sports a 24" ring gear. Ours aren't quite that big, but an assembled head weighs in at around 600 lbs.

We just came out of bankruptcy, so maybe things will get a little better. I sure hope so. But most days I can't believe this place is still in business with all the silly things made possible by an enormous corporation.

I suppose that means i should get back to work . . . :D

Great thread... I can't believe that I just read 33 pages of posts. I'm a mechanical engineer that is employed in the aerospace industry as a structural designer. I've designed major structure (wings, fuselages, doors, etc) on corporate jets (to transport important people), commercial jets (to transport the rest of us) and military vehicles (to deliver things that go boom in the night to the bad guys). Never thought I would end up here but 17 years ago the auto industry was not hiring. Life's funny that way. In my job I have to make things lighter, cheaper, faster, more durable, and cram them in a small space... each of which comes in handy when working on my '67. From the looks of the talent on this board, our metallic babies are well cared for.
