im a 21 yr old, ex student, i got a football scholarship to southwest mo, and went to southeast, and then went to a community college. schools not really for me. right now im a painter, and yes the ls is my painters "truck". im looking everyday for a new job but u need experience everywhere but no one will give it to u. SO anyone is stl hiring look my way. and ur not being noisey i was wondering this as well.

Pretty cool idea Dart, should be an interesting array of answers!

I for one actually am 24 and have two online businesses, one being a Golf Store, the other is an Equestrian site that my fiance and I both run.
(She Designs im the Coder! haha)

Those have really taken off well in the past year, so they keep things interesting most of the time! My 9-5 day job is another company I helped start and co-own that specializes in designing specific online marketing strategies for various types of online stores and websites.

(After all the hard work the LS was a little paid in full bonus for myself!

i'm a university student taking political science and business admin. my main source of income is a part-time job in an emergency room where quite frankly, i'm a doctor's bitch. on the side i co-owned a company which is now gone, i'm thinking of starting another. i also want to get into real estate this summer as i hope to get into law school and become a real estate lawyer.

I guess most of you think I do the LS Koncepts thing full time...Wrong! I actually work as a Facilities Manager/Environmental, Health and Safety Officer for a robotics company named Remotec (www.remotec-andros.com). Our parent company is Northrop Grumman which is the second largest defense contractor for the military. I have an Industrial Engineering degree and have been working in my field for close to 15 years. I started LS Koncepts only on a whim. It just got bigger as I added more aftermarket products for the LS. Will it last? Who knows but I have a great career and love both jobs I'm doing right now.

I'm a lawyer.

'snotmydaddy's, it's a shame you're in MO, I need a painter...
I just sort of fell into my career. I never wanted to go to law school, but I was at Arizona State getting a political science degree and soon to be married, and it sort of dawned on me that there was no way I'd ever be able to provide for a family with a political science degree. Someday, I hope to find a way to make a living with it, but for now and the foreseeable future I'm stuck.

Don't feel like you need to go to college to make a living. Nothing wrong with trade school, and there are still plenty of ways to get through life without a degree. Do what you like.

Hey man all I can say is don't give up looking for something you want. I am in the same boat as you. I do have a college degree from the University of Iowa, I've been out of school a year and half and still haven't found anything what I supposedly went to school for. The college degree really hasn't helped to much so far. If you don't mind people and dealing with money I suggest getting a job at a bank. There are many different ways to go, you might have to be a teller for a while but growth is always a possibility within banking.

You can take a look at our oldest site at www.customizedgolfballs.com which is what we got our start with HOWEVER!!- it got a new face lift, more products and is actually about to re-launch by the end of this week with tons of new products! So you can see basically the products in the current site are rare, since we took out all discontinued gear and left the most popular balls.

Our speciality are laser inscribed custom logo and personalized balls and mostly in larger quantities. Perhaps LVC can personalize some balls and put names on the other sides of the logos! I don't know about printing the lincoln logo though i'd have to check on the licensing.

By the end of this week, or mid next it'll be an entirely new site, and new product lines, check it out!

P.S One interesting bit of information most don't know about and i'll throw it in here as my useless fact o' the day -- But Jaguar also makes horse saddles not just cars! (We sell them on the other site).

Maybe we can work a deal on some golf balls like Pro V1's or something. I'm a 4 handicap so I must not work much huh?

P.S - A 4 handicap is pretty dangerous in a money per hole in match play! I see the NationWide Tour then PGA in your future! hehe.

What town do you work in and where you from Putter? When I lived in Iowa City I took my LS to Carosel only one time and never took it back there, sorry I didn't like the work done or the service people. Got better treatment at Lynch in Mt. Vernon. And the Dealer out here in Indy couldn't be better.

When I started my undergrad I was a Bio Chemistry major thinking of getting into medicine. Was doing ok, then got involved helping out (ok Dave and Bryan I'm waiting for something on this) with Special Olympics and had a blast.

After spending a month shadowing my old family doctor I found out that I loved the science and the thrill of working with the guts of people. Got to put my hands in a living human, held the organs of another it was wild, I could not stand the attitudes of the patients. Thought it's not worth it the patient would drive me crazy.

Went back to school the following semester and talked to my advisor and said I am not sure I want to continue in this field. He asked me what I wanted to do and I said I really not sure. So there was a Prof walking buy and he said here go with this guy. I said sure ok, and found my self preparing to be a teacher.

Love it do not regret ever becoming a teacher.

I am 44 years old. Graduated from Diesel School in 1978. Started out as an auto mechanic, moved to millwrighting, and then due to an auto accident I turned my hobby, computers, into a full time money making gig. I am now the CSO of the Digestive Disease Institute. I have traveled the world setting up wireless networks and breaking into other peoples supposedly secure networks. I have met some of the Saudi Royals as well as the Royal Family of Dubai. I have two kids. One 21 and the other 5. Single father for the past 12 years, even though that is about to change.

The TALCE provides continuing on-site management of AMC airfield operations including command and control, communications, aerial port services, maintenance, security, weather, and intelligence -- those critical elements needed to ensure safe and highly efficient air base for all tanker and airlift operations, A TALCE is composed of mission support elements from various units and deploys in support of contingency/emergency relief operations on both a planned and "no-notice" basis. At my Current job I perform a variety of services including:

High Freqency Radio (like a HAM radio) program manager
Director of Mobility Forces Communications Support
Security Forces Augmentee (Military Police)
Hazardous Materials Waste Manager
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technician
Power Generation Technician
Network Systems Administrator
FCC Certified Radio Repair Technician

Even if you think that there are large battles in the political threads the membes there have great respect for all (even when it gets a little hot).

I know Bryan, Freefaller and I don't always see eye to eye with our current administration but I respect all of our service men and what they offer our country.

I'm a 45 year old designer, I run a Catia CAD station designing automotive inspection fixtures. The company I works for builds gages to check any automotive panel, sheet metal or plastic. I started building gages in 1979. In 1983 I was Crew Leader/CMM operator and I built the gages to check the 'A' pillar on the original Mark VII's. An interesting note the fixture was a dual purpose gage for the Mark VII and the T-bird. The Mark VII post had more holes to run and mount wiring(suprize,suprize) but the form was identical.

Currently I work in radio, doing a bit of everything at 2 local stations, I'm on the air live 6 days per week and handle programming for our adult contemporary FM station.

Leaving the radio station soon to transfer to one of two places... a data processing company as a member of their in house tech staff (did I mention I have some IT certifications as well?) or to a top secret project at a large local media company (serisously - its top secret - only the owner of the company, me, and one other person even know anything about it) - I have the oppritunity to get in on the start-up of this company's latest venture as the operations manager. Both are up in the air, I'm anxisoulsy awaiting news from both places.

Live at home with my parents and never see them... I'm asleep when they leave, and they're asleep when I get home. lol

My girlfriend is a pick-up truck girl but she totally understands my Lincoln obession! We've been together for about 2 years.

Anybody require any of my services?

I'm 27 and I work for a guy who owns a cattle farm/blacktop paving company. My job is to fix anything he owns that's broken. It might be a dump truck, it might be a grain elevator, you never know. It's nice not knowing what I'm going to be repairing from day to day. Makes things a little less boring. Oh, I have 2 kids. Boys.

I've spent more time there than I care to think about. All in all time there I think I've got a solid 18 months.

I wasn't there during that time frame though. I was in a lull having just PCS'd from Travis to McGuire earlier in '01. My next time there was in October 2001.

I'm 21 and work for a grocery store called Food Lion. I work in the meat department as a Butcher/meat cutter (some prefer one term over the other). I went to college after graduating HS and went in studying computer programming and than switched to computer repair but all the stuff started to really get to me and by my 3rd semester I got so fed up and sick of it that I just did not register to continue, it was a community college. Before the butcher job I was a mechanic at AMF Carolina Lanes which was fun but hard too because I did not know alot of the things, so if a machine broke I'd need help, other than that I just spent the whole time running from machine to machine getting stuck bowling balls, fixing pile ups and checking the camera for the scoring. Mainly it sucked working 2 or 3 days a week, having to work friday nights from 5pm to almost 3 am and all day sunday. Ended up quiting because I hated it, and got the job at Food lion a couple days later and had no idea I would still be here today. Pay is alright, I'm still under-paid and have been waiting for the raise for quite sometime. Have not left because I like the store and the people, and I get alot of days off. But it would be nice to make much more so I can save for a future lol.

Also have a g/f of 4 yrs and a month or so. I should of gone to school for fixing cars and such since I love cars. Have had a few as you can see in my sig. The LS is the only car that I've had that is something worth something. But I still love cavaliers (after owning 3 why not right). I'd love to get another '88 or '89 z24 2.8L v6, 5spd and eventually do a swap to a 3400. ANother online club has a few 3400 powered 2nd gens and they love 'em. Or get an 3rd gen ('95-'05), prefer an '02 and hook that up and have it as a nice "beater" car.

And your second job is to provide outstanding quality babes for me to gloss over, thus enabling my 'manhood' to deliver the appropriate amount of pleasure and satisfaction to my significant other. In fact, one could say your 'second' job is far more important than delivering food to the elderly.

BTW, anybody that has not become a premium member is missing out. (I have nothing to do with the $$$ and cents around here). Let me just say the finest quality women that Pep provides on an almost daily basis is worth the price of admission.

I wish I had your job. I can't separate myself from the automotive thoughtprocess. My buddy and I, even though we're Active Duty, have a side setup and get a lot of work fixing other co-workers cars. We're hoping to open our own performance shop someday, but with 12 years each before retirement, who knows what could happen??

All I know is that when I retire at 20 years and 38 years old, I will be working on cars for a living.

I work by myself with no training or experience and my supervisors don't care. I hate it; if I hadn't promised my g/f (whom I live with) that I would never be going out to sea again, I would already be back on a ship. Anyhow, I'm not sure what I'll be doing when my current enlisment is up (2 years from now), but I hope to have my own hot rod shop some day.

Hey man all I can say is don't give up looking for something you want. I am in the same boat as you. I do have a college degree from the University of Iowa, I've been out of school a year and half and still haven't found anything what I supposedly went to school for. The college degree really hasn't helped to much so far. If you don't mind people and dealing with money I suggest getting a job at a bank. There are many different ways to go, you might have to be a teller for a while but growth is always a possibility within banking.

I agree. A Bank Job has excellent benefits, you never work late, you get to dress nice *which should be a gimme with your LS!!* and flexible schedules. I am working on my second year at Bank of America here in Kansas City. Not amazingly happy with it but it's a solid job, lots of paid vacation/holidays, competitive salary for a 21year old with no college degree.

A buddy and myself are hopefully following through with openening a car audio/custom shop. Doing anything from body kits/paint, to stereos, to interior etc. =) I have the business loan lined up if I need it but a lot of

, my name is Aaron Scherbel, currently in St. Paul, MN and I love your idea and I can't wait to get into real estate myself. I am currently pursuing an MBA degree at St. Thomas University and I have tons of ideas for small businesses, especially in real estate. I'd really be interested in discussing more about your business and how you were able to get it up and running. E-mail me @ milliondollarman420@hotmail.com, look forward to talking to you.

After college and grad school I was in the retail business, managing department stores and became a retail financial analyst. At 40 , burnt out and headad for a heart attack, I put my MBA in the top desk drawer and bought a small company that repairs pool and patio furniture. We replace the vinyl strapping (hence the "straps") and slings at mostly hotels, condos and resorts. Now my "office" usually overlooks the pool or the beach. Workin' less, makin' more.....(There's a lesson in there someplace for all of the students out there. One thing that they didn't cover at Wharton was entrepreneurship..and maybe spelling....)

I'm 58, been married to my lovely wife Janice for 35 years and have one grown daughter, Dana who is about to turn 34 this month.

I work for Global Motorsport Group, a large aftermarket manufacturer and wholesale distributor of parts and accessories for motorcycles, ATVs, and personal water craft. I am the Senior Manager of Customer Service and have been with GMG for 13 years.

Previously, I was a professional musician and also built custom bikes. I also sold cars for awhile, but my ethics kept getting in the way.

I moved to California from Chicago 13 years ago when I went to work for GMG after tiring of being on the road with the band.

It is actually pretty funny to read a lot of posts that say, "I am recent graduate, or I'm in my mid 20's. . ." I also fall into that young 20's mold (22); I wanted something that said "professional but not yuppie." Its good to see that others share the same good taste.

I'm 24 years old and am a software engineer for a cell phone company. Basically, I write software for our engineers. In my spare time I'm a private pilot (Around 130 hours), swing dance, date womens, etc...

Just got my LS about a month ago, and have been reading these forums for about 2 months. This is an excellent place setup for us LS owners!!

And to the guy who said he was moving to the UK for their cheap gas: They sell their fuel by the liter. An LS holds around 68 liters, so it would cost you around $54 UK to fill up your car. At the current conversion rate, it would be around $100 US to fill up your LS in the UK. We got it lucky!

What's wrong with Yuppies??? That's been my life goal since I was like 10!!! Of course, I will never drive a BMW, so I guess I can never be one. Those cars are too posh for me.

All together now. Go Air Force!
I'm an Air Force officer with more than 20 yrs on active duty. Upon finishing high school, I never wanted to step foot into another institution for learning. But, I found out pretty fast that without a formal education or some type of training, no one will hire you. I initially sought a recruiter, joined the Air Force as an Aircraft Maint. Technician (i.e. "CrewChief", "Crewdog", etc.) and since then, I've been all over the world. I now hold a Masters in Education and am working as Chief, Force Development Courses for the Air Force. Life is good.
