Conductor562 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 during high school worked at a local machine shop part time until I finished school, then they offered me an apprenticeship and became an interprovincial machinist after a few years the shop offered me more training and became a fabrication engineer until I retired, worked for the same company my entire career ......Machining is the 1 skill I wish I had, but don't.

Hugh Jass Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Machinery Operator (everything but a motor grader) for 5 years working for a fortune 500 company for 7 (last ranking I saw it was #143) doing 100 million dollar and up contracts, most in education building schools and collages before I jumped ship to start my own business after the economy caught up even to us. After working for a company doing billions in revenue and not seeing very much of it myself I decided I needed a change. Doing a lot of renovation / maintenance / vacation rental / property management in the Florida Keys, and loving life ever since. Don't think I'll ever be rich but I enjoy what I do, and one day I'll be a pretty smart ol' guy I figure. =-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Civil Engineer. My tools by day tend to be Autocad and Microstation these days. Grew up on a farm learning the joys of tools at an early age. Anymore I'm just a DIY guy that enjoys mechanic work and building things around the house. My obsession as of late is working on getting my yard dialed in.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
