Automotive engineer. I love about 10% of my job. It takes so long to develop something that the part I really like working on, the actual design, only happens once a year. The rest is process, testing, and paper shoveling.
And the stuff I do design is not that interesting to me anymore.
Telephone systems! I love what I do, started doing phones in the navy, got out to work on Nortel stuff and loved it every since. The job I currently have could and will be much better later on when they open up more access to some of us, but I love being the phone guy!
Senior CAD designer on for a consumers product company...very fast paced work with steady hours and very little overtime. Company provides flex time, laptop and Blackberry (for work and personal use), and ability to work from home on occassion. I work from 7:00 to 4:00 and still have a life outside of work.
Great company to work for, excellent benefits, good training, 100% reimbursement on all tuition, including books (assuming you passed the class), opportunites to travel for business, great foods for cheap price in the cafeteria (much cheaper than going out for lunch), company has a house in FL that employees can book for a week (located outside of WDW), free tickets to sporting events, great 401k matching with ESOP plan that the company puts in money semi-annually, quarterly EVA bonus system, etc.
Most people retire from this company in their mid-50's.
Over the last few years, no more new people on the ESOP plan...I'm grandfathered in and the company will continue to contriubute to the plan.
I love what I do, I love the "unknown". I get to interface with so many different folks each day and see so many different things, it's never the same.
My husband and I own a restaurant/coffee shop. During the week, I homeschool our three children, while he works at the restaurant. On Saturday, he gets a little time off and I work. It is a beautiful, trendy, popular place with fresh food and excellent coffee drinks. It is going well for us, but we would sell it and start another project if we could. So, do you want to buy it?
I have dreamed of having my own restaurant for a while. Can I pls pick your brain and ask you how you got started? Did you inheret it, did you have restaurant experience already, etc? Thanks!
changeyourthoughts, Of course you can pick my brain. Good luck!
I'm new on C-D and if I can navigate to answer your questions, I'd be glad to "enlighten" you. No, we had no prior restaurant experience. We just did the research, and stuck to what we knew our dream was. There are so many aspects of the business, that I'd need to know what part you're interested in to answer. But no, we didn't inherit it, we sunk our own investment into it.
Title Analyst for an oil/gas company. I often wonder how I got so lucky. I fell into this field 40 years ago and, although I've lusted after other jobs occasionally, this one suits me perfectly. I can pretty much be my own boss; if I'm feeling social one day, I can make necessary calls and discuss problems with royalty owners...if I'm not feeling social, I can read title opinions and resolve problem issues all by my lonesome. I love using my natural math and decision-making skills. And I love it that, after 40 years, I still learn something new almost every day.
I cannot stand 90% of my job. Due to constant obstacles, coupled with difficult co-workers and endless meetings. The only part I like is the pay.
