JIFFY LUBE baby. I change all you guys oil. i've been there for 3 years as of june 11. i started out making $6.25 when i was still in school. Now i'm in college and working 45 hours weeks. I now make $9.75 per hours plus a $50-100 bonus for selling **** all day. This job sucks. but i just bought a 89 iroc z for $5,000. So i need $4,000 to pay the bank back. just look at it this way a jobs a job and it puts you in the driver seat of your thirdgen right

I am looking at a couple of different hoods right now and after it goes on I'll be ready to start the paint prep and finally paint, a friend out at the center got me some polyurethane marine grade enamel, similar to imron but supposed to have a much better shine and finish. It will be Jet Black when finished........

Finally got to the end! What a monster thread.

Anywaz I'm the guy you <font color=red>YELL</font> at when you cant get online or get email. <font color=blue><i>Ehh its broken lets call tech support and b!tch them out he..he.he...</font></i> They pay me 11.57 for my mental anguish. What I think is that the cable installers are selling all the customers <font color=red>CRACK</font> then the customer calls us sounding all fück3d up. If you work tech support you know what I mean. They all sound the same!! I'm losing it here!!!

I've got it pretty good. I jus finished my freshman year at Kettering University (formerly General Motors Institute), studying to be a mechanical engineer with an automotive concentration. The school just got rated something like top 10 in the country for mechanical engineering and we have a 99% placement rate after graduation to either a job or grad school so I'm happy.

For six months out of the year I co-op with Honeywell's sparkplug engineering office, we make autolite, splitfire, jaguar and motorcraft. I follow engineers around and learn what they do and run tests on sparkplugs, it's a good time. It pays $10.15 and they give me a free apartment to stay in.

During my month off from school/co-op I'm a recreational gynocologist.

Network + is good, but right now if you want a job you have to specialize in something. Weather it be cisco switches and routers, Windows servers, Netware servers, or unix servers. Pick something you like and learn as much about it as possible, then get a cert in it. then get your job.

Good luck

Re: Jobs/thirdgens

Bringing one back from the dead here.

Would like to here everybody's new job now that everybody that was on here has graduated. Got jobs and more money of course ...right?..

Anyway I worked autozone for 8.41 for a full time manager. trash

Moral of the story is Quit Autozone and work for Advance as soon as you can.

Went to Advance autoparts for 9.00 Part time non manager.
Got Promoted very fast to Full time floor manager for a little more
Then I came to the freightliner house for even more money plus commision.
and kept the part time advance auto job. Kept managers wages.

3 ASE's have helped out alot. should do more

Cost of living is cheap here so alot of money will be diverted to the project Z in time. someday

The Employee discount from both places really kicks ***.
