Not mine, but my friend has just passed his Large Goods Vehicle test. That included with ADR (hazardous goods and waste) with a pile of certificates. Now he seems to be earning a fair living. If you're in Europe you need to be over 21. He did all this in a three month course. I think he's earning about £700 to £800 a week. £400 basic and £100 per call out averaging two to four a week. His job isn't the nicest But he makes a good wage.

I love manual labour. Trade work. Anything that tires you out physically and not mentally is great. I don't know why. I feel satisfied in the end.
I hate working with people where you're constantly thinking.
Currently am unemployed. 
But for the summer something menial.
That is of course if I find something.
Future job's in the media.

I work at a house-modules manufacturer, but I get extreme allergic from some of the materials we use there so I'm gonna quit (that and some other reasons). In the future I hope I'm working with multimedia.
Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

I work as an IT consultant (aka programmer) for a small company.
You don't have to kiss anyone's ass. Just work the best you can. Eventually you'll get noticed.

My main problem with my job is my boss... He's a nice guy when he's in a good mood but when he's pissed he tries to unload his frustrations on the employees!
So, a word of advice: If the money is good but the mood in the office sucks try looking for something else.

I'm currently unemployed. I'll start studying business administration and economics or civil engineering after the summer, depending on which i get accepted to. I'm hoping for the business admin, but it has much higher GPA requirements (i still meet all the base requirements) than the civil engineering one. I more than meet up to the requirements for the civil engineering degree, so i'll most likely get accepted to that. But if i get the business admin i'm definetly choosing that instead. Before that i studied IT and natural sciences in high school for three years which i just finished back on the 7th of June.
However, after having done it for 3 years i got a taste for it and how hard it really is (programming/scripting is a real pain), so when it came to applying for university i decided to go with something easier (and with much better pay) so i picked business admin, and civil engineering to fall back on.

I work as IT specialist (minor System / Network administration, Web / System / DB Development) from home at very small computer retail company. It is so small so you feel with your ass every fuck up you make, but at the same time you really see the results of your work. My wage is $1000 / month. For comparison one of my friends wage is $2500 / month but he has to work 12 hours / day with constant overtime and sometimes without weekends…. So I am more than happy

Engineer, but my job title is Geophysics Manager, and i also handle day to day IT.Im also a partner in the company. Im not telling you what i make, its not profesional, and i doubt you would beleve me.
I took did a 4 year degree, but completed in 3.5 becasue i did summer semesters every year.
Started working on my MBA, but it wasnt for me presently.
Honestly, 4 years of school is nothing when looking at the big picture. And you will not need to kiss your proffs ass. ITs the best way to get ahead in the game since it seems everyone has a degree now adays. Even alot of blue collar jobs require a degree.
Heres a great article, talking about our generations take on jobs, school and life.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1018089-1,00.html
And your ideas about voluntering are flawed. I presently volunteer 2 hours a week, and its nothing, i feel great after it, and it will look like gold on my resume if i every am in need of work.

Bigperm, I found that article interesting. Makes me feel that maybe I'm not too far behind everyone else. I'm guessing you work in energy or mining, there seems to be alot of money in that sector for all types of engineers.
I just want a career that doesn't feel like a "job" or a daily grind, with some asshole manager pouring bullshit on me. I'd be happy with $30-40k a year if it was something that makes me want to jump out of bed every morning.
I looked into enrolling for an 2-year degree to become a Physical Therapy Assistant but they need all kinds of references and PT volunteer work just to enroll. It's also 90% women, which could have been a good thing except I'm married already.

you want to do varied manual labor?
go work on a oil field or a bagger ship in qatar for those big building projects in the sea. They always need people, and it is very good paid 5000$/month
and if you study, you dont have to kiss asses every where. You just have to accept that you dont know anything in the beginning and will need to get trained by someone else. And thats where a lof of people make the mistake. Taking instructions is not kissing ass;)
After you studied, you put it on cv and you do a job. The CV is only 30-40%. Once you have to go for the conversation, just convince them you want that job so hard;)
Just accept that it takes time. I suppose you dont have a degree yet. Others have references, but they had to study 3-4-5 years, do internships after that. Do a first job. And after that they made some good money. So it takes 10 years (studies included) before you have a good, funny well paid job. And you will have to start now.
But thats no problem, as long as you dont think it is a problem. Fuck the rest, do it your way;)
