Out of high school family owned a Suzuki and Polaris and atk shop for several years then we sold it to a much larger shop and worked for them few years then went out on our own again till economy tanked.

My dad still does it part time but about 9 years ago I started working at a water softener company part time and am now one of two managers last 5 years I also work for frito lay part time where my dad works full time.

I'm constantly looking for a industry job and have sent resumes and had interviews but guessing no college degree and not being in industry for several years didn't help me.

I definetely want something better and more.

Fulltime RN in Surgical Intensive Care; enrolled part time in Adult Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. At this rate I'll be finished in 3 years with my Nurse Practitioner Masters degree. NPs are basically physicians, they see, treat, and prescribe for patients. Less insurance risk as you work directly under a staff physician. And with affordable healthcare, NPs are going to become more in demand I predict. (cheap labor in comparison to MDs)

Announce local mx events in Ohio, and work as a sales representative when I am at the track for FCR suspension. Basically promote the equipment and offer discounts to interested new customers and current customers who represent FCR positively. Check out: http://fcrsuspension.com ; mention GeorgiePorgie if you call for a discount on your first service/order.

My friend and I started a marketing consulting company focusing on motorcycle industry clients. We do everything marketing related and also PR if they want/need it. It's however not yet paying all the bills so I am also the manager of a local restaurant... and because where I live is very expensive, I picked up another restaurant job on the side.

I'm definitely not one of those Vitards with a tricked out bike but the marketing gig looks very promising in 2015. So maybe that tricked out scoot will happen soon...

I did concrete overlay systems for a living until the economy tanked. Went back to school and finished my degree in criminal justice. Im in corrections right now and it's cool. Corrections definitely is not my dream job, but after I lost my concrete job I needed one thing... Stability. I have achieved that so I'm not complaining.

Anything from ss, aluminum and titanium repairs to metal art and custom fabrication. Show me the money.
