Sorry if you all know this about each other already, but what does everyone do for a living?

I know that Jabba is in 'business' lol, i am a Trainee Solicitor in Company and Commercial Law, as well as Employment Law and some other stuff.

My hobbies are, hummmm Cars lol, I also do a lot (well, ok not that much...living in the UK lol) of Snowboarding, but my main sport in Downhill Mountain Biking. I race in the UK national Points, but don't take it too seriously. It is something a group of mates and I do for fun. I ride a Santa Cruz Bullit with Marzocchi DC Shivers in case anyone knows/interested about it.


Sooooooooo, hows about everyone else............

Well, so far my main occupation (beside JW obviously ;)), is University... I'm studing (or trying to) law ;)

maybe i`m the oldes here on JW ( ...don`t ask :lol: ) so there`d be quite a lot to tell....in short, i studied more than half of my life, went to a technical college for mechanical engineering specialized on automotive engineering, after finishing that type of school it`s usually here in austria to attend a professional school. i`ve chosen management because at that time i wanted to run my own company...too much work :wink:
so i applyed at a university and i studied mechatronics to achieve my doctor`s degree. after that i worked as a project manager at Magna in the driveline departement www.magnasteyr.com where we were developing parts for the MB 4-Matic and the AWD systems for BMW.
from Dec.1997 to Jul. 2001 i worked at the EZW Weisach for the Porsche AG at their driveline technology departement particularly in the field of all-wheel-drive technology. i went back to austria to marry my gf and stayed there although i`d love to go back to Weissach. this was impossible because of my wife`s work :?
since Jan.2002 i`m working at Bosch Motronic Bosch Motronic (http://www.bosch.at/de/unternehmen/standorte/linz.html) where we`re developing the next generation of common rail fuel injection systems.
hobbys, interests: my wife, sports, music, cars...mainly everything dealing with Porsche, houses...but sadly too less time for that because of my work....

...fuck it that article is way too long now, but the nightshift is boring ass hell again, and i don`t know what to do...ahhhhhhrrrrrgg :x

I am a student in college studying for engineering related to merchant marine. That basicly involves shipboard engineering, which encompases alot of stuff from diesel mechanics to machining.

I am also self employed and do computer consulting. I also do a bit of work for my dad, who owns a CCTV (security cameras) company. I'm looking foward to the Merchant marine thing though. Chief engineers can bring in about $150,000 USD/year....

I also wouldn't mind developing performance parts for cars.

st-anger, you have aim or msn or any other instant messaging clients? I have a few questions for you.

Hey Beav, that economy shit is happening all over the world you know. I have a university diploma in Applied Economics and I'm currently looking for a job also. When the weather's cooled down, I'm gonna find me a job as a boring accountant for some time. This way I'll gain some experience. It seems as that's what HR bitches are looking for at the moment.

Ziploc, I hope you allready have your contract signed because I was planning on working in the banking industry after graduation and that turned out to be a bit of a downer. :( No vacancies whatsoever.

in my opinion MCSE isn't very much sought after now. It use to be, but nowadays a lot of people have that qualification. With that said though, it is still obviously better to have it than not. I hear Sydneys IT jobs are still plentiful. Its not too bad in Melbourne here, but its not great either. But yeah you should give it some time before deciding to move. good luck.

I've got a Traxxas Emaxx, HPI Micro RS4 and a Tamiya Terracrusher. The TerraCrusher is the only nitro one I have. I've got a .25 waiting to go in it. I just need to buy a new chassis.
What do you have? Some of those 1/8th scale touring cars are damn fast.
