I'm a Weather Observer at San Diego International. I attached a link of the Union Tribune San Diego's article about us. Too bad when you fly now Air Traffic Controllers will do my job without proper training and I will get canned. Anywho, I learned how to do this and forecast as an Active Duty Marine in the United States Marine Corps. It's good pay and affords me the opportunity to pursue my Bachelors Degree.

I'm 62, been retired for 10 1/2 years, work part time (no actual schedule) as an armorer for a local police department maintaining all their weapon systems (roughly 500 firearms) I sit on the board of directors for one elected position and 2 non-profits and take care of my wife, who I love dearly. Other than that, I don't do anything I don't want to do. I bought a used S2000 (2005 with 40,000 miles in pristine condition) because I wanted a fun car and am smart enough to know I shouldn't ride a motorcycle again (I LOVE going really really fast and would kill myself in short order)

If I was young I'd get a degree in engineering (I love that crap) and would probably be either an electrician or a general contractor (love building stuff). I have a great retirement, money in the bank, no debt (none zero nada) 3 great kids and a list of places I want to visit that I tic off my list 2 or 3 or 4 (or 5 or 6) a year.

There are a ton of opportunities. Don't sell yourself short, and KNOW when opportunity is knocking.

25 and work in security for a big company. It's a very easy job(no manual labor/internet all day) and the pay is decent(not enough to support a family). Went to college but slacked off and didn't finish. Dating but have no kids and no debt. Saved money and bought the S in cash. Other than the S, I don't have a lot of assets/worth. Plan to go back to school within the next few months to obtain a degree in Computer Science. Will work in my field after that and move up the ladder. I really do want to settle down and have a family but I have not met anyone that I would consider to be a life partner.....which does bother me. WOMEN ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!... lol.

I work at a hospital doing various things.. insurance verification, work in the emergency department and I'm also the L&I claims rep. Pretty cushy job, except i work grave yard. But man, the people I see are some of the craziest people.

26, didn't finish college, didn't have much work experience since I was a full-time student. Met a girl, dated for 3 years, I moved across the country. We went house shopping after she got hired as a RN. Got engaged, I've been working at a PetSmart full-time for a year now. 3 more years till the S is paid off. Managing easy debt to keep my credit score high. Thinking of going back to school to try EMT programs. Wifey says I have the perfect attitude for the job and the pay is great for my needs.
