My BF and I raise Chow Chow and Shih Tzu dogs too, its our 'hobby' that we hope to make into a full time business..so that our life can really go to the dogs.

I am a admin assistant for Lamar Advertising in Lexington, KY. We do outdoor advertising (billboards) and are a nationwide company. I've worked there for 6 1/2 years so my title does not include everything I do around here. My other title is charting manager. I decide where advertisements will be put up.
mkunkel,
I was just curious as to how you went about becoming a mechanical engineer and how you like it? I am thinking of doing mechanical as a minor while pursuing some other type of engineering. I'm not sure how good I'll be, but I'm interested in learning anyway.

Hi everyone...this is so interesting.
I work as a supply school secretary in Toronto, Canada. I quit my full time job so that I could spend more time with my daughter and this job works out perfectly. I can make up my own schedule and have summers off including numerous other holidays and PA days.
Bye
Patricia

Sara,
I got my B.S. in mechanical engineering back in 1995. I was naive and didn't really know what I was getting into. I was good at science and math so was encouraged to go into engineering. It took me six years to get my degree, but that's because I didn't always go full time. I did some part time work in HVAC which I did not like. If I had to do it all over again, I would've chosen another major such as computer or software engineering. Although I really like the industry I'm in (it's pretty neat building flight simulators and trying to fly them), there are too many ups and downs. I was layed off about a year ago and had a real hard time finding anything in my field that I qualified for. Fortunately my old company got some more work and hired me back, but they are running out of work again...
Anyway, you may live in a more industrial area where finding a mechanical engineering job might not be as hard. But from my experience, the software and computer engineers have more opportunities in today's world. I don't know what other type of engineering you might be interested in, but there will always be a need for civil engineers too.
Not really sure if I answered your question, but if you have any more questions, let me know.

What a fascinating variety of careers!
I'm a former jack-of-all trades Air Force broadcaster. I write radio news right now. I'd like to get back into voice work and video production eventually. I also write fiction and hope to get some of my novels published someday.
However, right now, my ultimate job would be stay at home mom for my 14 yo and 7 yo DSs. I work 4:30am-noon, so I'm lucky to be home with them in the afternoons.
