I went into the Navy after high school, got out after my time and got on with Boeing in Seattle working in commercial aircraft manufacturing. After 13 years of sucking up as much information as humanly possible I finally got the balls to move across country to DC and try getting a gig in aerospace engineering and design, luckily a company took a chance on me and my biggest dream came true. I think the main reason they hired me, especially since I had ZERO formal education, not only in engineering but also no formal education in anything, I think they wanted to get a dig on their top competitor and to play mind games/politics being that they were Boeings top competitor within the US, either way, it worked out as well as humanly possible.

After 5 years of working design on other projects I finally got full funding on an idea that was burning up my brain for many years but in late 2008 the AVM on the brain showed up and caused some huge problems with my math, multi tasking, short term memory, massive headaches from hell, etc... all out of nowhere and everything came to a grinding halt. I'm ok with it though, it could have been MUCH worse in many ways, dying during surgery, stroking out and all of the negative affects from that, including not golfing ever again and it also could have all happened prior to be becoming an engineer and getting some of my ideas built so no complaints at all, absolutely NONE!!! :)
 
I'm a student
 
I work motors on a drilling rig in south Texas 26 weeks out of the year and work on my game the other 26 weeks of the year. Spend most of my time on the derrick board 130 feet above the ground though training for my next promotion.

I was in the Marine Corps from 1996 until the end of 2007 but a wrecked right knee, right shoulder, and collapsed discs got me medically separated before I could retire :(. Life goes on, I've been in the oil industry ever since and make a much better living BUT the job satisfaction isn't quite as high.
 
Restaurant manager, basically make sure no one sets the building on fire.

Ive been doing it now for 11 years, worked for the same company since I was 15 years old. I love what I do, everyday tends to be an adventure especially working for a mom and pop type franchise.
 
I currently own a Custom Interior Painting Company, mainly all new construction. Homes in the 4,500 to 12,500 sq. foot range. Market has been slower on homes under 7,500 sq. feet for past 4 years though so have branched off to all types of interior painting.
 
I'm a freelance consultant.

Most of my work is developing online engagement and fundraising strategies for member-based organizations. I also do some overflow PR work for a large PR firm, and a lot of freelance writing of speeches, web content, press releases etc.
