The stuff I did was simple. bend, glue (melt together with acid), put rubber feet on it, and put it in a box.

i recently started software development under a contract to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon until November 2009(and it will probably be renewed). i can't tell you anymore though...

Woah da bus!

Thread. There was a Bio-Diesel Golf that got awesome FE and stayed mid-pack. To the others: It sounds like everyone is happy with their jobs/education situations. I've learned that is VERY important. You can't put a price-tag on job satisfaction. RH77 |

i make a living as a freelance illustrator, mostly advertising work but also books and other odds and ends. here is a link to my online portfolio if any of you are interested:
https://www.portfolios.com/beepbeep i also work one or two days a week with a rental car agency, driving cars around, it's nice to get out of the house for a bit plus i get to test drive a wide variety of cars and also see how reliable different brands are- ie- don't listen to what jd powers says- dont' buy a hyundai!!! |

Also, with the rental car agency, I've found that I like the Kias better and Hyundai's quality isn't as good. Are Kias in the same boat? -RH77 ...and also, I think JD Powers and ASSociates are full of it. |
I work with computers for a living. The last few years I've been doing mostly database development, however my current projects are moving me towards web site tools.
BTW: Cars and computers might not seem like they have a lot in common (except possibly for the ECUs in the cars). But the common thread is that they are both "technology", and I'm a technology person. So learning the basics of what makes cars happy, is a lot easier (for me) than some might think. Because I already understand technology in general, so to understand cars I just had to learn the specific details of that technology (vs some other technologies I already understood). And why bother, you might ask? Two reasons: 1) If I learn something new, I've learned something (and continuing to learn is "a good thing" IMHO). and 2) If I learn the basics of a given field (that I'm not in), I can make much more informed decisions as a consumer (vs just "throwing up my hands" when the "experts" disagree on some subject in the field). BTW: A mechanic I know once said that working on cars was just the practical application of physics. While that's probably an oversimplification, he has a point. A lot of the work on cars does involve physics in one form or another. And it seems that you can often "get it right" simply by solving the problem from a physics standpoint, without having to know what the "right way" to do things is (for example, many FE mods work by using physics principals to tune a car for more efficient results). Food for thought... |

I'll retire from my current job in 4 years - I just do a bit of this and that, for the most part teach people how to prepare hazardous materials so we don't have another ValueJet fiasco. I do some other stuff but it falls into thisisntjared's catagory. |

we usually delete cars from the fleet before they hit 40,000 km, so i'm not sure how they stand up in the long haul though rental cars tend to get trashed, so it is probably a good barometer of quality. part of the reason i bought a toyota was because the corrollas we have are NEVER in the shop, the biggest problem i have seen is they tend to lose the emblems on the front, and the covers that hide the holes where fog lights would go get knocked out, and some of the plastic parts break easily. |
