Whats everyone do for a living?

[winky]

Just curious as to what every ones occupation is? Maybe even post a picture of what you do?

I started life out as a mechanic lol, a few years back i received a phone call from the body shop at a chevy dealership i had previously worked for. I took the opportunity to get my foot in the door of the body shop world, i started out doing all the mechanical and now im a full blown collision tech doing frame repairs, panel replacements, and even paint work. Most days its not work, its a hobby but other days its an 8-5 grind lol here are some pics of what i did yesterday and today.

I work at a Chevy Dealer too. I started in the Express Lube, couple months later I moved into the Service dept doing Quality Control, did that for 3 1/2 years, now I'm back in the Express Lube per management reorganization, been doing that since January. I'm hoping to move over to the parts dept as a parts delivery driver. I'm trying to get hired with a police or sheriff department in the area. So I'll be at the dealer until a I can get into law enforcement. I got hired at the dealer just before I graduated high school, been there 4 years 3 months now.

sweet, sounds like a pretty decent size dealership. we just have a service manager and parts guy in the mechanic shop but we are aksi a pretty small town

We have a sales department, service department and parts department. Our sales department has a commercial side, parts also does wholesale sales to shops all over the valley, service has 17 techs, they also do medium duty service and we have the Express lube. We also have an on site Deli.

I am a technical service representative for The Sherwin-Williams Co.  I work for the Product Finishes Division which is expanding rapidly.  Anything new that has a finish/paint/powder coat on it is my customer base.  From trailers, fleet truck refinish, John Deere, Caterpillar, down to someone coating pole barn screws. I tell my kids my job it to watch paint dry...

I am Technician at a garage and we repair school buses. Normally it is fairly laid back but in the summer when school is out we have to do brake inspections and D.O.T. inspections and it gets super busy.

I'm a machine operator at a Packaging Corporation of America sheet plant. were a national company i think we have around 90 facilities around the country. I can run several machine throughout the plant but I specialize on a flatbed die cutter made by Bobst. we make boxes, pads, partitions, and just about anything else made out of corrugated sheets but we dont have a corrugator so we dont make the sheets.

me and my partner run one of these. only ours is manually fed and stacked. i feed the board in the rear and he stacks out front.

I am a journeyman glazier at the local glass shop.  Been there 7 years, started just out of high school.  We do everything related to glass. Auto glass, commercial and residential, along with little service work.  While I have experience in all facets of the job, my expertise is in the Auto glass and service side of things.

Hey no fun will be made of you....we definitely all need an attorney every now and then and what better lawyer than a fellow Chevy Man

[SkinnyG]

There is nothing wrong with attorneys.  When you need an attorney, you need an attorney.  An attorney's job is to fight for their client.  And a good attorney wins.

I'm a high school shop teacher.  Mechanics, Metal, and Drafting.

Harcorshe, how long have you been an attorney? Do you enjoy it?
