how many of your jobs are not car related???

I design prototype machinery and automation for industry. Only about 15 to 20% of my work is automotive related. ---Of course, right now that doesn't mean shit, because the other 80% of my customers are so freaked out by all this "economy crash" stuff that they are terrified to spend any money on developing new things. So--I am setting around unemployed untill some of this economy crunch sorts itself out.---Brian

Project Architect. When I was in college back in the '80s I remember one old fart at a rod run who gave me some real sage advice: "Become one of the people who took the time, got an education and get to a point where you can afford to hire someone to do the work." Well, it took a long time to work up the ladder to hit that point, but I LOVE my job. EXCEPT for the constant (and growing) pounding from enviro-wackos wanting to turn the world "green" and relegate everyone to mass transit, eliminate conspicuous consumption, live in high-density neighborhoods elbow-to-elbow and ban any type of petroleum-consuming, carbon-emitting activity. Sometimes it's tough being a car-guy and a professional, but that's why I've got a place in the country that I can park a parts car outside and not get hell from the local do-gooders.

 

Hey Chop55bc start doing body work on the side if you have a garage at home, you'll be surprised how many would like to have repairs at cheap prices. I did that years ago and had many clients by word of mouth. Eventually I got a job at local Chevy dealer, they called me to come in and talk about a job. I then worked my way up to service manager.
