What do you do for a living?

I'm not trying to be nosy, but was just wondering.

Me: Microsoft Systems Engineer and have worked for a large French company for 9 years here in the states.

By profession, I am a real estate appraiser. However, my career is as an investor.

This is an interesting thread. A very diverse crew here at TRF! I have always been fascinated by the different careers people have.

But seriously- She will not come without commitment but I am not ready to propose as i have just graduated, and have no job, career or anything and am only 25. It might be a mistake but i gotta do what feels right and take this opportunity.

Best apprentice, ha! I failed your test on fluid flow diagrams on the chysler 3 speed earlier this year. Looking at that diagram, I'm gonna say its the fluid flow in 4th gear of whatever transmission we tear down in year 3 I wish I had a chance to do transmission diagnosis every one and a while...

I'm an automotive service technician apprentice, awaiting my final year in school so I can get liscensed...
