Im 17, withdrawn from highschool sophomore year because I missed too much school while sick with mono. Ive been working at a family doctors office since last february, my mom is the office manager. I get 10$ an hour, no benefit deductions, no taxes, cash each day. I handle most of the billing for the office, get paid with "petty cash". Bought my truck last march. 300 for the truck, about 3000 in repairs since then.

     I work closely with the EPA field in California.  My company sells and services the equipment that is required for company's in California to meet EPA standards with their waste water.  JTThomas, don't feel bad I totaled my week up last night and I have done 67 hours this last week, and I am sitting here Sat. morning getting ready to drive 2.5 hours away so I can do about a 6 hour job, company's would rather pay me 1.5 instead of paying the fines to California.  ( you know our state is broke.  :P )

Don,

If I ever go down your way I'm gonna buy you a beer.

All I do is work. I'm literally about to snap with all this snow too. My snow blower blew up, my plow broke and there's nowhere else to put snow.

Most of you already know what I do.... It'd be easier to say what I don't do lol

Self employed nail bender/thumb smasher and when not busy with that I use our shop for car repairs. Although I want to go to work for someone instead of contracting and go back to doing car repairs on the side. With the economy the way it is people aren't spending money the way they used to and it's kinda hard to keep busy in the winter here.
