Right now I'm going to school full time at Milwaukee School of Engineering... one of the more pain in the butt schools in the state lol
With that I'm working part-time as a secretary type person for the VP of Enrollment, where I basically do whatever he wants lol
I'm also working full time at a machine shop for my girlfriend's dad.
On the side I do some flipping of car parts along with headlight and taillight restoration and tinting. Flipping of car parts consists of buying used headlights and tail lights for cheap and cleaning them up and reselling.

lol!! My first job was working for about a year as a bag boy at a grociery store I could walk to (as I got the job before my driver's license, back in about '96-'97 time frame). After almost a year I asked to do something different (I wanted to join the stock crew because they always looked like they had the best time in the store). Instead I became a cashier for about 5-6 months (last few months of my time there I worked part time at the grocery store whatever hours I wanted they gave me because I was reliable PLUS I began working part time at my first I.T. job for STERIS Corporation).
I.T. has REALLY evolved BIG time since I started (most places did not have an "Information Security" department back then for one example).

Lots of IT people on here huh?
As for me, I'm a Quality Engineer for one of the world's largest defense contractors. Right now, my programs include mostly soft goods- parachute systems, soft body armor inserts, load carriage pieces, etc- but I assist with hard body armor occasionally when the need arises.
It is very intellectually stimulating, the variety of projects is nice too- keeps you on your toes.
Sorry no pics- it's not allowed.
