Of course we all love racing or hot rods of some type, but what is your day job?
I've been in the equipment rental business for 15 years. Started as a road mechanic and worked up to Store Manager. The rental bus. pretty much sucks right now so I changed jobs in January and now work for a crane co. Southway Crane & Rigging. We rent anything from a small 15 ton to an 800ton crane. The 800ton is one of largest truck mounted cranes in the country and only a couple of them in the US.

I started my own welding businsess about 5 years ago, at first i did alot of welding of stainless and aluminum when custom motorcycles were the big craze, backhalved cars, and so on. I quickly realized it was easier to make money in the construction field and started doing mostly commercial jobs, dont get me wrong, they are both really hard work.

I am a Project Leader for Caterpillar Inc. My division is based out of Peoria, Illinois but I work in Champlin, Minnesota. My responsibilities of being a Project Leader are to wrench and write the Disassembly and Assembly Manuals for all of the Cat Paving Products, Cat work tools, Defense and Federal Products, and also manage our Mechanical Lab. Basically we take a new machine and tear it down and write the remove, disassemble, assemble, and install of all the serviceable components for all the Cat dealers and customers worldwide. I like my job because I am not sitting at my desk 8 hours a day or turning wrenches 8 hours a day. Truth be told.....I am spoiled with my hours which are 6:30 am - 3 pm, and I am home by 3:30 pm.

Hopefully the slow economy is not hurting the suppliers and they can keep going. At Paving Products in Brooklyn Park, MN there are many lines that have been shut down since the beginning of the month. Most lines will come back to work 1 or 2 months for the rest of the year and thats it. :(
Cat has a competitive teardown project going on right now and I have had the chance to meet a lot of different suppliers over the past couple of weeks and more to come throughout the month of July and August.
Sadly enough the diesel emissions are going to hit everyone pretty hard over the next couple of years as Tier 4i emissions are going to be implemented on the machines, but for my job there is some security there because of all the redesigns that are being done to the machines and the manuals that need to be done for them.

We are currently on a two week shut down without pay because of something CAT has going on right now. Things have been very slow all year, but are starting to pick up a little because they are ordering ahead ..something about the new emissions standards in 2010.

Currently I am a calibration technician at Kennedy Space Center. We have seven more launches and then who knows what I'll be. Guess only time will tell. Don't think there will be much around here. They plan to rely on the Russians for support of the space station. Wait til the Russians have a monopoly on access to space and see what they charge for sending personnel and equipment up there. There, I feel better. :P

I never thought I would enjoy "jobs" much; but this career has been awesome!! Hunters & archery folks are all really good people to work with... like the fine folks here on RJ. I dabbled in the auto industry in parts & did R&R for a transmission shop here locally when I was younger... but that got old working on other peoples cars. Scoot

I started with NAPA 25 years ago as a driver. My boss also had a small farm in which I mowed hay in the summer and fed it to the cattle in the winter. Since then I've moved up to the counter and now the general manager of a 60,000 square foot warehouse with a 4000 square foot retail area (which is a pain to keep up with). It's the largest NAPA in WV.
It's fun for the most part, it keeps the bills paid and fuel in the race car!

Before that I owned my own set of gravel trains (a set of double dumps) for 20yrs. Gave that up after an old lady pulled out in front of me. Not pretty at 56,000lbs empty. 164,000lbs loaded. Kinda took the fun out of it. :(

Been in business for 5 years and have restored over 10,000 headlight lenses so far, most of them in the first 3 years.

My other hats are steel fabbing, powder coating, some race/street car construction and anything to put food on the table. I've been self employed for over 30 years as I find it almost impossible to work for any one else but me :D :D

Thanks for the kind words, however i have to say if i wasnt able to draw unemployment at the same time it would be very hard to pay the bills. There just isnt anything going on in my part of the country. I am lucky that i am able to draw since they consider me "temporarily layed off", I was supposed to be called back in april or may but, they just keep pushing it back. I am also lucky that the wife still has her job.

We have a DSM Chemical here. They have Potash there too. It hasn't been hit as hard by the recession as some of the other parts of the plant.

Balancing a daytime job while exploring better opportunities is something many people can relate to, especially when thinking about long-term stability and growth. Exploring options abroad can open new doors, and platforms like this (https://layboard.in/vacancies/job-in-canada) Layboard a make it easier to understand what’s available and how to take the next step. Practical resources like that can really complement the ideas discussed here.
