I graduated in Economics five months ago, but am having a difficult time finding a job. I recently applied for a forklift driver postion (not exactly what I have been looking for). Still haven't heard back on that one. Any Suggestions? I'm thinking MBA.

for those becoming mechanical engineers, please learn mechanics (hands on) before graduating and taking on you career. nothing worse than an educated so and so that sees themselves above others due to a school issued title when they can't apply in real life.

OIT is a VERY hands on school, this is one of the main reasons that i chose to go here over some of the other schools in the nearby area like (OSU to name one). I have had courses in welding and machining, and will have more before i graduate that in my opinion give me a better idea of how the manufacturing side of Engineering works. I also plan on getting into an internship through MECOP this upcomming year to further inhance my "curb appeal" to employers as well as get a better understanding of Mechanical Engineering in practice.

Chiropractic physician private practice and a consultant to Humana, Coventry, and the LA Office of Worker's Compensation. President of the LA Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

I was thinking about volunteering for the SPCM (Society for the Prvention of Cruelty to Midgits) but if I do anything else my wife has threatened to divorce me.

"Team Member" for Hobby People in Fountain Valley part-time, should become supervisor any time now.

Full time student at UCI (University of California, Irvine [AKA University of Chinese Immigrants]). Sophomore (junior by credits) majoring in both aerospace and mechanical engineering. I've already got all the design units I need to graduate, but sadly they don't count because I'm not a senior.

I would preferably go into aerospace, and have mechanical engineering as a sort of backup. Anyways, this double major is relatively easy to achieve at UCI.

Maybe you can help me finally put an end to Finnster's midget beating regime... I need friends with the same devotion to the little people.

I'm 29. I was a teacher(Bethune Elementary School for Performing Arts)and a Professor(Florida International University)....But I started making more money as a DJ/MC on the weekends....so thats what I do full time now.

sad huh? I can make more money as a DJ/MC than I did working two jobs in education.

This is fun!
I am 35 years old, and an insurance agent that specializes in personal insurance and some small commercial insurance. Personal Insurance is mainly home, autos, etc. I work at a great local agency that is very community involved, and has a great owner to work with. I am also a dad to a great 16 year old step daughter, and an awesome son that is almost 3½ years old. I can’t wait until he is old enough to drive RCs with me!

tedo 10.27.2008 08:08 PM

I am a graphic designer. I mainly do branding and design for Giant Bicycles and Burton Snowboards (not a bad gig). Currently work at a design studio in Burlington, Vermont. If you are looking for any type of design or branding, check my site: pod225.com


Wish I was independently wealthy and could be a full-time rc'er. Haha.

kulangflow 10.27.2008 08:16 PM

Hey tedo, you have some great stuff on that site. Very cool.

Chachi, who says your 3.5 yr old is too young for R/C? I've been letting my 4 yr old daughter drive my trucks for a couple of years now. Sure stuff gets broken, but half the fun is fixing it!

She's getting much better by the way. She loves my crawlers. She even has a crawler of her own! :-)

MetalMan, that's a great program you're in there. My dad was a professor at UCI and I went to Uni high while living on the campus in faculty housing.

Thanks kulangflow. I may start soon with some kind of little toy RC to get him going, and then do to something a little faster as he grows. The crawler idea is great. Speed doesn't matter with those!

if you are young and want a good work experience i think restaurants are a great place to work (corporate restaurants---more reliable.. seem to flow better)

Good place to meet girls too.

Agreed I go visit my friend at the restaurant he works at and pretend I work there. He gets all kinds of experience there and has even been groped/molested....... Maybe by Shaun since he is out of the closet now.

You guys are going to hate me.... Last year on our trip to national competition in atlanta georgia... LM got us passes for a tour of the f-22 assembly building! it was amazing such an awesome machine. oh yea and they built c 130's there too :party::yes:

that was one of the most awesome things i've ever seen. We were only about 5 feet from a nearly completed f-22(well, there was an electrified fence inbetween us...). we were one of the 3 teams that actually got in there. you'd never know it was even there. all you see is this little 2 story building from outside.

but back to the less exciting topic. I go to rvrhs with ben. also in robotics, lead of electronics and programming...
and for those out there with influences with FIRST(i know there has to be someone...) try to get them to go brushless! that way i can expect some very nice retired parts coming my way...
