Currently working for an aerospace engineering company. We design, fabricate, and install components on satellites and jet engine test cells, predominantly on military bases around the world.

My next stage in life is the Air Force. I was selected for officer training school as a combat systems officer, which most people associate with navigators. I applied for pilot, but hey I can't be upset about why my future still holds.

Nice. I have a electrical engineering degree and a minor in physics but I haven't gotten a job cause I'm right off of college

I'm still unemployed.

I quit my job as a Ford-Lincoln-Mercury Service Advisor on 8-17-2012 after doing the job since May 2003.

I got burnt out and was commuting about an hour each way for the last few months, going back and forth from the GF's place in NH.

Well, for the last few months I've been remodeling my condo in MA and another month or so should be just about done, minus some accessories to really make it "me".

Having recently broken up with the GF after almost a 15-month relationship where at one point we were looking at rings, I'm now moved back into my condo that doesn't have a working kitchen, I'm not really looking for work at the moment, I really wanna finish my condo and still relax a bit more before going back into the workforce somewhere.

One thing I know is that I want a regular schedule, daytime, no nights, no weekends.

The condo's paid off, the Focus is paid off, the Mustang has a small monthly payment on it, and the bank account isn't really hurting (yet) ...

I was at a Lowe's earlier today and saw a sign they're looking for cashiers, all schedules ... I almost inquired about a part-time morning shift ...

Just graduated in December 2012 with an accounting and finance degree. Landed a forensic accounting job at a medium sized firm. Loving it so far.
