We also don't specialize like the domestic guys, we have to work on all toyota's bumper to bumper, can't be picky.

I don't consider you being at the low end of the job spectrum. In my opinion you are near the top. Without farming, there would be no food for us to eat, no food for grocery stores to sell, less for truckers to deliver, less trucks to build, less truck parts to sell, less workers to build parts, etc. etc. Bottom line is most people would starve or have to become their own farmers.

I live near an area where half the orchards and farms have been converted to large $400,000 and up residential homes. What a change in scenery. Ask Jerry Moss about it.

I work for Pacific Gas & Electric Co. I check for gas leaks and other gas related customer concerns.

Red68 · 08-10-2003, 08:36 PM

I work for a large general contractor as a Sr Project Engineer building roads an bridges for the Florida Dept of Transportation. I manage a staff to administer the subcontracts, purchase all of the material to build the job and schedule & plan the work. Been doing this for 11 years now and still love it. I have been part of 10 different projects and each one has been unique from roads and bridges to theme parks and buildings. I have lived in 4 different states in the past 11 years from Arizona to Florida and a couple in between.

In my spare time I work on my 68 LWB, at least in Florida I don't have to worry about the winter months.
