  • What's your "job"?

    So I don't know most of you too well and I was just wondering what you guys do for a living? I am about to graduate and was looking for some industry contacts to see how you may have landed your job. But mainly just to see what everyone does for a living.

    I will start. I am a senior at Ohio Northern University for Mechanical Engineering and I graduate in May. So within the year hopefully something to do with a BSME.

        Warehouse Manager at a Chemical Plant. Got my job the old fashion way. I parked my car at the end of the street and walked into every building along the way. I was offered 5 jobs out of about 15 buildings. Still not sure if I took the right one but that was ten years ago. I was originally hired as a QA inspector.

          I work for an Audio Visual company, in Covington. We do provide gear and support for meetings and conventions across the country.

          My job fell into my lap almost 12 years ago. I was working for Swallens until the day they closed. That day a friend called and said the company he worked for was looking to hire someone. That was a Thursday, I started the following Tuesday, been here ever since.
          Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it,
          But only you can feel the true warmth.

            Yeah I have looked into GE but too hard so far. It would be nice to work there since if I got bored in one of the areas of ME i could change departments and keep all my pay and benefits. I think I am looking for a little bit of a smaller company.

              If your looking for a Career. You might want to check out patent officer. Last I heard the Govt. was looking to hire 12000 new people with assorted engineering degrees. Starting pay was 70 grand. If it was good enough for Einstein it might be good enough for you.

              It doesn't matter what kind of money one makes if the benefits aren't there walk away. Good 401K, Great Health Care, Sick Vacation Holiday pay, Continueing Education Program, heck evan a YMCA payed membership will outway any bonus as payment employment.

                  I work in Graphic Design/Pre-Press for a local printing company. I get to draw on the computer & make sure everyone else's "poo" is converted correctly for printing on press.

                  I used to work for a Website Company before this, but I didn't like the sales calls that I had to make, plus the coding & server side was no fun to me. I just liked to draw & design so I got out of the web business.

                  Make sure you like your job most of all, great pay can't make up for a job you hate going to every day.

                            I recently retired from the Middletown Fire Department. I'm currently running for the School Board here in Middletown. When the election is over, I can begin to look for some type of other work. I'll wait and see what developes.
