    Cool job...our chrome shop here in town shut down after the guy died a few years ago.


    I'm a Veterinary Technician Student, so I'll be joining the workforce in that capacity in another year. I am also a full-time minister.

    I'm a chef. I went to Le Cordon Bleu and studied Culinary Arts and plan to do Hotel Managment next. Right now I'm a resturant manager but looking for another job as a GM or a Kitchen Manager in full service....

    Beyond that the only highlight of my life besides my son being born was cooking for my idol Gordon Ramsay.. Man.. Makes me notice how stuck I am right now.. :(

    Art teacher... Work with all ages at a private school... It can be quite challenging working with middle school students in particular. I'd love to teach at the college level, but that would mean going back for my PhD or MFA... Neither of which I find appealing after completing my master's in ed.

    Thinking back, I probably should have gone into biology or zoology.. Probably would enjoy my job more. I do love teaching, but sometimes my job feels more like crowd control. Although I must say, I enjoy being the "cool teacher" with reptiles as class pets. :D

    I work my butt off with two jobs (Lowes and Sonic) while going to school to hopefully become a nurse in the next year or two. Last semester of college provided I pass these classes. Then all I have left is the nursing program, which hopefully I can find a good private college that offers the accelerated program. Private that way I don't have to compete grade wise with people to get going.

    No, she isn't licensed, but has been working in the field for about 10 years now, so I guess that technically makes her a Vet Assistant, but at her current and last job there was no differentiation
    I am going for computer Programming and she is going for Social Work

    Also, you should quit the metalwork and go on the road. I am sure there's some middle age ladies who'd go to your concerts. Rico Suave was a big hit back in the day.

    Heh. I couldn't help myself. I am a bit of a jokester so when I see an opening I usually take it. :)

    It is quite the unique name though. I've never see that name other than the musician and you.

    Yea it isnt a common name. Thats why it makes it worst when people hear my name they think of the singer.

    I work retail at a locally owned shop called Oddyssea:

    It's an amazing store, An awesome fun place to work at, and I always look forward to going to work!! My boss and follow employees are great...If you're ever in Half Moon Bay CA, look us up. ;)

    I used to do customer service and paperwork filing for a wine-shipping company, but that job was soul-sucking. So I quit after a little over a month, despite really loving the people I worked with (and for).
