UMass takes all my money and tells me what to do so I consider it a full time job. Pre-medical path so hopefully I will be in the medical field in the near future.
I dropped out of college my junior year (3.0 gpa) to get married (lasted 6 months) and took a job in a local paper mill. I lost a few fingers and moved from floater to machine operator to Electrical and Instrument Technician, that lasted 10 years. I then went to IH (International harvester) as a floater on the assembly line where 4000 of us were laid off after 14 months. Unemployed for 11 months (during 9/11) The state paid for my training and I took a help desk job with a manufacturing company for 7 years. I was crappily pay and overworked, so when the opportunity came to work for the Gov. I took it, now I am a TCNO (Time Compliance Network Order) Technician with no overtime and good pay. It took me almost 20 years to get to a job I am happy at and a second marriage going on 15 years now.
I've hauled in and out of asphalt plants-- the stories I could tell of drivers driving trucks off the sides of the scales, forgetting to lock the hoses when unloading tankers, running into the hopper supports, driving away before the asphalt stops flowing...
Makes us look pretty bad so I won't..
Been there,...shoveled that!
Glaswerks I have lived in Bakersfield since 1959. Iwas 9 when we moved here.
I think being a plumber would be a fun job, so long as your doing new construction and not residential sewage fixes.
