Started many moons ago as a carpenter, then designed plastic injection molds, then product design (patents), and now the last 20 years in the Highway Safety business, pavement striping and now selling orange construction work zone stuff. You know, the place everyone speeds through!

Slow down, please.

I work at FedEx Office(Kinkos)...I guess you could say I'm a copy jocky or at least thats how I refer to myself...Not really my ideal place to work but I've been there for 7 years...Benefits are pretty decent but the pay aint great. I'm in the market for something different.

I'm a partner in, and manage an auto detailing business for almost 17 years.
I'm only 40, so retirement is not in my near future.
A lot of interesting people on here. Good thread.

I'm a professional Civil Engineer with 8 yrs experience. I design roads. I basically layout everything in drawings that the contractor will need to build the road. One of the coolest parts is seeing something I worked on for years being built then driving on it when its all done. I typically work on a lot of new bypasses or new interchanges on the interstate.
