What do you all do for a living? Doctor? Assasin? Alien? Retired? Military?

I wear several hats. I am a CTO of a startup online crm solutions provider, co-own a startup media company. Hopefully one of the above takes off and I can make millions but until then I also work as a broadband services technician for a Utility company.

Ya'll should know what I do by now, but just in case you don't, I'm a lowly svc advisor. With the car industry going down the tubes, it can be a little bit of scarry at times regarding my job. Hopefully if anything ever happens, I can use all the environmental science education I've got.

P.S. sabbasaun, I was thinking that your should move this thread out of the Genesis discussions to the general topic discussions...
I would do it myself, but my thread tools will not let me change an admins thread.LoL

I'm about to start a job working for Northwest/Delta Airlines at the MSP airport as a junior tech working for a company they contract out to for the maintenance of all the the motorized ground equipment used at the airport. (Tugs, belt loaders, ect.) Prior to this job, I was a paint tech. at one of the largest privately owned auto body shops in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. So if anyone has any questions related to paint or body work, I'm probably the guy to ask here. haha

EDIT: I just noticed ENOST is also a collision tech (I would assume?) So I'm sure he could provide plenty of info on the subject as well.

Hyundai Parts Specialist :rolleye:

Work in the Parts Dept. at a Hyundai dealership, will be three years in May. I am very enthusiastic about my job. I have always loved everything automotive, and this puts me right in the thick of it where I can have full access to all of the inner workings of parts and service. That plus the fact that I have unlimited access to all of the brand new cars when they come in. I get to see them before the sales guys do. :bigthumb:

I have so many numbers in my head... :evilgrin: Even I'm amazed at some of the stuff I can remember. Given a random part number, I can usually tell you what system of the vehicle the part goes to and what vehicle, including year range (most of the time anyway). Some see it as a gift, I see it as a curse... lol. Even so, I still learn something new every day.

Apparently it's working to my advantage though because I have survived two rounds of layoffs. The first time they got rid of the Parts Manager and combined the positions of Parts and Service managers. That left just two of us in parts. The second time, which was right before the first of the year, they got rid of the guy I had been working with that had been working in automotive parts for 12+ years, and for this company for a little less than 6 years. Then they hired a very green rookie with no experience in the automotive business and I am currently training him. He's at least got common sense, I can work around any other weaknesses he may have.

Anyway, glad to be here. I have access to lots of info and I am a curious person by nature. I love to look stuff up, and have become the one person in the dealership that everybody comes to when they want to know detailed info about any of our vehicles, or want to know the scoop about upcoming vehicles. So ask away, if I don't know I'll tell you I don't know, but I'll do my best to find out.

Any way I started as a Hyundai tech, then service advisor, service manager, sales person, finance manger, and now sales manager of Hyundai and HUGE toyota store. I have followed Hyundai from PA to FL and back through 3 different stores.

My owner laughs at me and says my blood is Hyundai Blue:rofl:

I'm an avionics technician for Air France-KLM here at the Montreal-Trudeau International Airport. I'm a day/week team supervisor, and basically everything that has to do with instrumentation, sensors and electronics is in my department. It's a cool job but I'm thinking about getting my degree credited and going to med school.

Cool!! I was an AD3 Power Plants Technician and crew member on some of the first MH-53E Seadragons sent out to the fleet at the US Navy's HM-14 (Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron Fourteen) out of Virginia Beach from 1989-1992...I also went to Sikorsky to take delivery of a couple of them!
Awesome aircraft...

Any way now I am a MECP qualified automotive electronics installer where I maintain a fleet of GPS based navigation systems as well GPS anti theft tracking systems and Sirius/XM radios for a major car rental company.
