I am a Chef. I like the hours. I'm so not a 9-5 guy. And I also get all the left over food from each day well part of to so most nights I don't have to cook dinner for myself. And I don't have to deal with any customers directly. I'm loving it.

we have to run our own food at Rembrant's(we dont have waiters per-say) . It's usually pretty cool to meet who is eating what you prepared. It can get crazy though sometimes. Some things are self serve(water, straws, black coffee, etc.) and customers dont get that so they ask us to do stuff they are supposed to.

Alrighty then... Let me get in on this ;D

I work as an MRI Engineer.

Even though I DO drive to work, I have a Company Car, with everything Paid for. From Gas, Maintenance, to Car Wash and Insurance.... and oh did I mention I get to use it on personal Time.

I haven't paid for gas in about 4.5 years.

When it comes to the Boss, he is a pretty nice guy, see him every now and then no biggie.

Cable Internet is Free.

Cell Phone is Free.

Land Line is Free.

Company Dell Laptop. But like yourself I use my MacBook to get all my work done (Much faster that way.)

I make enough Money for me and my whole family to live very comfortably (family of 7, paying 2 rents, utilities.. etc, etc.)

I get Employee Pricing on GM, Daimler Chrysler, Apple, and whole host of other companies from clothing to furniture, even Food and Wine ;D

But the best part of it all. I know that when I patient goes to have a scan on one of My MRIs that my work on that system helps the Doctors cure their illnesses, and thats a feeling that is worth Millions... at least to me.

So Heck yeah I love my Job, its a different challenge everyday and I help a lot of people through it.

It might not be the greatest job in your view, but as for me I know it just simply Rocks.

And oh one more thing. At 24 years old I am the Youngest MRI Engineer in the Country...

my dad does the same thing, but i didn't think he could get all that stuff

maybe its all about location..

my job allows me to house and feed my family, and they are what really makes me happy and fulfilled.

I'm a Voice/Data Network Technician at a relatively large insurance company. I primarily work on M/A/C, project, and upgrade work for our AVAYA PBXs throughout Michigan. From a data standpoint, I'm also the on-site contact for the Cisco, ADC, Enterasys, GEOTEL, and CMS equipment. We also rotate on-call every other week...some week's good, some week's bad!

Sgt. Beavis, you mentioned you get GM employee pricing, but it looks like you drive a Ford Mustang. Just an observation.

With such a great job and your hinting at it being a area of opportunity, maybe you can let us in on how we can go about getting such a job:L education, business sector?

To the two guys who said you can't get a job b/c you're 14, you're just not trying hard enough. There's plenty of work out there if you're willing to work. Except for my first year of college and my time now in grad school, I've working constantly since age 12. I started out with a paper route year-round and corn detassling and cutting Christmas trees in the summer time. Horrible work, little pay, but great expereince.

The funnest job I ever had was doing catering in college. Free food, worked when I wanted, and didn't have to do anything but put plates in front of people and fill glasses. I would highly recommend it for anyone in college, especially for the free food part of it.

I am currently at work right now.

I am getting paid to hang out with a kid who has special needs.

Right now he is playing Wii and I am watching.

I like that man.

I just left my old job at the University(bye-bye edu discount). I don't miss it.

I'm pretty excited, and a bit nervous, about starting out again.

Baldman · Aug 16, 2007

Wow! Glad to see people out there with good/great jobs and others in school. I should have stayed in school

I should have went to college instead of a course here and there.

I work in a foundry. We make engine/head castings for a major tractor company...not too hard to figure out. Great money, but I need a change in my life.

MinaMACMan, what medical company?

I work outside 99% of the time tinkering around with cars. My uniform consists of long work pants, and a long sleeve button up shirt. I get paid for the amount of work I do, so sometimes I clock in 60+ hours a week.
Work starts at 8AM and I sometimes don't come home until 8PM.
I have to deal with people who think they know all there is to know about cars, but don't even know how to check their brake fluid. I have to deal with spoiled rich kids who drive crazy hooked up cars, and tell them why and how they wore out their clutch.
My work area happens to be where the air compressor is, so I get 15 minute intervals of silence, then 15 minute intervals of 'OMG its so loud I can't hear myself think' noise.
I work constantly on the clock, trying to finish work in a set amount of time.
Some days I sweat so much that my dark colored shirt actually gets stained white from the salt that my sweat leaves behind.
My hands are always dirty with grease, and all sorts of smudge and gunk but I refuse to wear gloves because I have to work with small screws and sensors and the sort.
I come home just wreaking of sweat, oil, sometimes gasoline.

But I get all you can drink freeze dried nasty coffee and tea, and free donuts every friday.
And I make loads of money for my age.

LOL... You got that wrong though. I am on the Light Side. GE Rocks ;P

You should tell your g/f to come and join the Bright Shining Star of GE HealthCare

Out of curiosity what does she do for philips.

so you are indeed our resident non-poseur car expert.

i have the utmost respect for people who make a living with their hands, you guys are pretty much the only people who aren't leeches on society.

so... if i have a slow leak in a 9 year old stock cast aluminum wheel, is it pretty much headed for the dump, or is there a way to fix that?
