University student (Fine Art). I used to deliver pizza, but now I'm looking into getting a job in the tourism industry this summer.

I eventually want to buy a home and rent out the extra bedrooms for income.

I am a therapeutic and remedial masseur.
Mostly I treat chronic and long term deep tissue injuries.

In a previous life I was employed in a mining company as a Purchasing Manager.
Lots of money but lots of stress as well so I decided to make a change before the stresses took some long term health toll.
Never looked back.

Cheers , Pete.

I am a mechanical enigneer by Training - and have worked performing tests on Power Plants across the world ( form Dubai to middle of no where Venezuela)

once the kids were born - did not want to travel as much - moved into an Sales and Commercial Support role.

Now I am a services product leader - fancy name for the guy who is tasked with thinking up services to sale to Power Plants ( owners or operators) focusing on increasing output / improving efficiency / reducing emissions.

It's amazing the diversity of individuals, careers and knowledge we all represent. And they say people don't want an electric or a fuel efficient vehicle. Ptptptptptptpt

Drivers, Program Engineers, impartial observers and document recorders, mechanical engineers and test engineers, advertising and marketing specialists, Purchasing Managers, even comfort specialists (remedial masseur for deep tissue injuries).

i can't help but to note that this board has every type of personal needed for a startup auto company. Too bad we're all over the world.

Wow, I'll second Waxy's response: an impressive collective resume here.

I'm a professional slacker, in early near-retirement.

More accurately, a self-semi-unemployed web lackey (when my clients yell loud enough to get me to do something).
