Used to work as an Oracle Database and Operations Anaylst.

Now...retired at home banging my head against a wall (see nwscionman's avatar for example) so trying to keep busy.

I returned back to school and will have my BS in CIS next spring (and yes...I'm in class now and posting on SL).

Studies show the most common phrase heard before someone yells, "Call 911!" is.......

"Hey guys, watch this!!"

i am a Designer and Installer for a custom home electronics integration company. I recently moved from installation to design but I pretty much do everything. I program, install, design, build, test, service, etc... We do large scale audio/video distribution systems, custom home theater systems, surround sound living rooms, whole home integration and automation...its really fun stuff and i enjoy my job very much. I just got back from CEDIA last night. Its a huge trade expo that was held in Denver, CO this year. Kicked total A$$ although I'm tired as hell.

I am pretty much a "high school student" that lives off of the money that mommy and daddy gives. :D But to get more money,.. I've recently gotten a part-time job as a barista & cashier at Cafe B&L,.. caters to pretty much those who work in the business complexes; DHL, Transgroup,.. some others that I don't know. Yeah... And I'll be applying to Abercrombie Kids soon,.. as an Impact Team Member.

again a pretty good variety of jobs. I know the over worked and underpaid feeling. try being in the field for 3 weeks without a shower and getting paid 1500 buck a month to do it!!! But I still love my job.. Are there any more military people on here with Scions? Maybe we can get a club started at lewis/McChord...

I work at Staples...it's the definition of overworked and underpaid. The cool part is I can source local work from it. I'll go install printers for whoever I might run across. I do upgrades, clean up pcs all on the side for usually 20-50 dollars an hour. Depends on what they offer first. I also had Hollywood Video part time but recently quit that.

Other than that I'm going to community college in hopes of a better job. Next year I want to attend Western University. The plan is to get into the EET Program (electronic engineering technology). We'll see what happens.

Is there a community college near you which may have some intro EET courses? I've seen several people at my college who start the program but don't realize how math intensive it is and drop out right away.

But once a person can get past the intro classes with an understanding of EET, the jobs out there are great!

Note: If you maintain a high GPA, get an internship with a company you want to work for while you're in school. This is the best way to get into the industry and get a higher paying position at the conclusion of your degree!
